We stand ready to serve the Empire to the best of our abilities.

Although viewed in a positive light by the Amarr Empire, 808 Enterprises has decided this to be an internal matter to leave it to the Amarrians.

There are loyal pilots of minmatar blood who would hearken to your call to put right their wayward kin, Lord Epaphras. The Ammatar pilots of Delictum 23216 are standing by.

Hail Amarr!

Our message has been sent. Once more, the Ordo Quaesitoris will fight the Defiants in the Bleak Lands.

And this will be the last time the Defiants will be able to fight anyone.

The basic facts of the situation seem quite simple. The Defiants are attacking targets in civilized space in blatant disregard of the law, which clearly cements their nature as a criminal organization. And that is all there needs to be said about it. That alone gives the 7th Fleet all the legitimacy they need to hunt and subdue these renegades, and recruit capsuleers to help them.

That they choose to go further than that in their rhetoric is both unnecessary and regrettable. They choose to play upon notions of racial superiority, planetary nostalgia and religious fairytale. This approach threatens to turn the focus of the conflict from being a simple matter of law versus crime into becoming a matter of mutual racism.

Capsuleers who choose to involve themselves in this conflict on either side should reflect upon their reasons for doing so, and the possible consequences. Will your actions really further the cause of law, order, peace and stability - or alternately, liberty and freedom from oppression - or are you really fueling a more sinister development towards a new dark age of provincial enclosurism, racial hatred and cultural incest?

We would like to urge all people who share our home of civilized space to step back from conflicts driven by such rhetorics as these. The disease of "racial identity" must be cured as soon as possible. To forge lasting peace in civilized space, we need to sacrifice the past on the altar of the future.

Amarrian public relations folly edited to expose the truth behind the words:

This week has witnessed a savage attack upon sovereign Amarr territory by the barbarians freedom fighters who name themselves the Defiants. The 7th Fleet is on full alert scrambling to get our socks on with demonic delusion, our scouts are hunting down these Defiants and my fleet is spread thin (for dubious political reasons, hence this request) throughout the region ready to crush them hoping there won't be an engagement any time soon, lest we have to actually do something for our ridiculous salaries. We have already scored several victories against the savages (we're surprised someone could possibly out-wit our battle doctrine that we've resorted to calling them savages to assuage our wine-bloated egos) but they have managed to take down our CDC which has rendered our automatic defense systems somewhat completely (understatements work wonders in fooling the masses) vulnerable. While the 7th Fleet is in operation against the defiant force and is assured (extra bravado is always good, despite what our better judgment might be) of victory, the deployment ensures that we do not have adequate resources (I had to put some truth in here somewhere, even if the Admiral will have my hide for it) to defend the defense stations against the attacks they are now suffering from Capsuleers.

Therefore Admiral Saracen has authorized ordered me to call upon loyal Amarrian corporations to enlist as auxiliaries in our fleet and combat these encroachments morally justified assaults on territories we conquered and ravaged a while back while we concentrate on the main Defiant threat and crushing it once and for all.

We shall not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, (It's too late for this one, but what the heck! The Admiral will be proud. Value add!) even though they shall be renegade Minmatar terrorists. Loyalists wishing to assist the fleet in combating this threat lick the admiral's boots for kickbacks in the future, and first pick on prisoner-slaves and protecting the bleak lands will send a standard EVE Mail to me outlining their abilities and corporate history. After a thorough background check DNA analysis (sorry Garreck, but those cases of Sarum Brandy won't be enough) I shall be in contact.

In parting, I shall relay to you a pertinent randomized piece of scripture ancient theo-babble that the 7th Fleet holds close to its heart uses every now and again to boost the morale of our brain-washed troops.

Those who embrace the Lord
And walk in light
Shall be saved by His grace
For we are the shepherds in the dark
His Angels of Mercy

Those who turn away from the light
And walk in darkness
Shall be stuck down by His wrath
For we are retribution incarnate
His Angels of Vengeance

It is most refreshing to see True Ammarians kneel before a Ni-Kunni. The Empire has become quite decadent since it lost it's Emperor.

---

I for one have no qualms about taking orders from a Ni-Kunni where that individual has achieved his rank through merit.

Golan Trevize and Hardin are two examples of Ni-Kunnis who have proven time and time again to be worthy leaders. Leaders who have struck fear into the heats of Minmatar rebels everywhere. My esteemed colleague Archbishop has also shown himself to have rare gifts.

That's the thing about the Empire. If you work hard, then even if you're the lowliest slave your descendants may just rise to a position of authority. This is different to the Republic and other primitive Minmatar societies where one's station in life is determined by a tattoo-based lottery.

Let me tell ya - I'd rather get the Pale Eye than be a slave. Considering that this would mean I'd never be allowed to talk again, I'm at a loss to understand why Amarrians wouldn't be supportive of this idea.

Posted - 2007.12.22 11:06:00 - [20]

 

Actually the custom of Pale Eyes taking the vow of silence is more commonly followed in the Republic. There are many enclaves where it is not treated so harshly. On the far end of the scale it is said those in the hidden city of Vo'shun on the Starkmanir homeworld sing the ancient songs regardless of mark.

That is the key to the Voluval. It does not decide your destiny, it just reveals it. How those around you, and more importanyly yourself, react to that is a different matter.

I hear your bongos, impress someone who cares.

In your particular case, I'd switch the bongo with a make-up kit.

Suits you better.

"What of you, you disgusting filth and vermin kill anyone and everyone you can for simply living in the REGION of providence"

It's so interesting to glimpse into the mind of the enemy from time to time. You think we kill the residents of Providence because they live in Providence? Nothing to do with them being slavers, servants of the Amarr Empire and enemy collaborators? Amazing how twisted the minds of these religious fanatics can get.
