Introduction

The Caldari Providence Directorate (CPD, aka 'the Directorate') is an organization controlling corporate interests under the nationalistic movement led by Executor Tibus Heth. Currently in power in the Caldari State, the CPD was founded by Tibus Heth in YC110, capitalizing on anti-Gallente sentiments following the Malkalen Incident.

In a dramatic series of corporate upheavals, Heth, beginning as a violent corporate protestor, rose quickly in power to first CEO of Caldari Constructions, then to CEO of Kaalakiota Corporation, and finally to leader of the State via the Directorate. Heth's stated goal in the founding of the CPD was the "restoration of [the] State's dignity".

Provists

Gendarmerie founded by Tibus Heth shortly after the launch of his successful coup against the Caldari Constructions Corporation. Initially manned by Constructions workers loyal to Heth, Templis Dragonaurs were secretly appointed as the agency's officers and were responsible for providing State-wide internal security and running Heth's anti-Gallentean/Caldari supremacy propaganda campaign. Noted for their physical perfection and trademark dark blue uniforms, these men and women were nicknamed "Provists" by the Caldari population.

Background

Heth's Rise to Power

(YC110.05.02)

Tibus Heth secured unauthorized airtime for the Caldari State's largest news broadcast hub to make his first public address since the Constructions Revolt. In a passionate, fiery speech, Heth asserted his ownership of the corporation and accused mega-corporate leadership and Federation influence as being the core root of the Caldari State's woes, and promised to make an example of Constructions to "restore the State's dignity". ^[1]

The Malkalen Incident

(YC110.05.15)

During the visit of a Gallente diplomatic envoy to Ishukone headquaters on, a Nyx-class mothership, piloted by Alexander Noir collided with the station causing massive damage and destroying itself in the process. The high death toll included Ishukone CEO Otro Gariushi. Tibus Heth rallied the resulting rise of anti-Gallente sentiment in the Caldari State, turning it to support for the newly formed CPD.

Partnership with Megacorporations

(YC110.05.29)

The Sukuuvestaa, Nugoeihuvi, Wiyrkomi, Hyasyoda, CBD and Lai Dai mega-corporations reached a breakthrough agreement with the Kaalakiota-Ytiri conglomerate led by Tibus Heth. The deal gave the Directorate immediate access to the State's industrial base. ^[2]

CAESA Training Program

(YC111.01.02)

Based on the Caldari-Amarr Economic Stimulus Agreement ^[3] negotiated in early YC111, the Directorate is responsible for implementing a training program for freed slaves chosing to take up residence in the Amarr Empire.
