CAIN is pursuing this goal by developing its combat capabilities, as well as operating several orbital stations and planetary colonies in the Providence region.
CAIN and Caldari State
CAIN is a capsuleer corporation serving the Chief Executive Panel and the Caldari State. While officially considering themselves apolitical, many, if not all CAIN pilots support the Patriot Faction and strongly resisted an illegal takeover of the CEP by Tibus Heth.
CAIN considers itself an independent adjunct to Caldari military apparatus and various Megacorp security forces (but not to Provists nor Caldari Militia). CAIN does not intend to participate in the so-called "Factional Warfare" alongside of Caldari Militia (although it did support Amarr militia as a part of CVA).
CAIN and CVA
CAIN is embedded into the command structure of Curatores Veritatis Alliance (CVA) and fully supports Not Red Don't Shoot (NRDS) rules-of-engagement and the goals of Operation Deliverance. Together, the creation of the Fourth District and the conclusion of Operation Deliverance are intended to bring peace and prosperity to both Caldari State and Amarr Empire.
