Intergalactic Summit

I trust in the Admirals and leadership of the Federation Navy. They ve showed how good they are assesing the strategic and tactical landscape with Operation Highlander.

Nevertheless, me will go on killing these slaver scum!

The only thing ordained is that you may plant your lips on my arse if you think the Amarr Empire will destroy the other Empires. My Caldari cousins should take note as those of the Empire show their true beliefs.

Great getout at the end there. Basically you're saying that even if you are destroyed in open warfare you'll win in the end by babbling to some imaginary friend.

One thing to be clear on here, I have no problem with Theology, most central tenets of such are aligned, don't kill, don't cheat, don't steal and such. It is the implementation of Theologies in the form of Religions that bothers me. They are always used as a means for the few to maintain power and control over the many. This is always enforced with violence absolved with the belief that it was done with Divine cause.

Your Religion will ultimately be the downfall of your Empire if it cannot evolve and adapt to those around it and that would be a great shame.

They're largely aware.

And then when you tried, the Jove burst your delusional bubble and the Matari wrenched ourselves free. GOOD JOB!

And we are allied to the Federation because it was thanks to them, we Matari were able to retake our homeworlds throw off the shackles of slavery. Even after all our blunders and belligerence, they remain steadfast allies. And even as you say, our alliance is all the more important as the Militia Forces of both the Empire and the State fight against us.

I for one lament that our empires are aligned against each other.

Most military organizations don't claim inevitable divine mandate of universal conquest.

Hmmm....a fair point I suppose. However even the faithful err, we are not above mistakes, and I like to believe that in life there is a certain inviolable rule.

"You always pay to learn."

Those lessons are invaluable, perhaps that is what we did at Vak'Atioth. If so then in defeat we have learned to become the wiser for it.

That depends on what you perceive the lesson to be.

Goodness knows I would be the last person to say do not attack the slavery cultists, but it is a fool who runs off to battle when a greater risk is right at home.

All four empires fought against the Sansha inhumanity, I suspect all four will eventually join forces to fight against this new Drifter threat. Let's keep our eyes on the ball.

A few large scale brawls does not a crumbling empire create. Do you think the loss of two thousand battleships will cripple the imperial navy? They haven't even reached that level of loss against the Drifters. It has been sub-capital ships, come now let's not lose our sense of scale. Without the loss of a single capital ship the imperial navy teeters on the edge of collapse? Oh if only that were possible!

The insults hurled against our ally the Federation are naively laughable. The bonds between the Republic and the Federation shall not be broken of even dented by any number of foolish IGS rants.

No two states, just like no two people, will agree on everything.

The OP is incorrect in both the assessment of the tactical situation, and the political situation.

Attack Now! That is not a plan, it's a rant.

So here is the possible scenario "Attack Now!" could create, all four empires commit their fleets to combat each other according to current divisions, a significant loss is experienced on all sides. As soon as the losses reach the point where replacement of forces becomes slowed the biggest Drifter fleet seen to date waltzes in and starts picking off the remnants of the imperial fleet, the Sansha not to be outdone launch massive incursions in the other three empires. The major pirate gangs seize the opportunity to expand their spheres of influence and invade low sec and high sec. After all who is left to stop them? This is what you want to trigger possibly?

To the OP, anger at the evil committed against our people and all the other people enslaved by the demonic slavery cult is understandable, rolling the dice for all of humanity in an all out not prepared for Cluster wide war of a scale heretofore unseen is not. War is hell and not to be entered into lightly.

The likelihood that all four will be fighting as allies against the new threat seems infinitely more likely than all out war amongst the empires. To call for war at the time when unity may be required for survival of the human species is so far from reasonable that it borders insanity.

I might have low understanding of politics and strategics but i learned you need to take risks to achieve what you dream of. How long should our enslaved brothers endure the pains of slavery? How long do we need to decide to help them in a meaningfull way? How long do we wait to see the Amarr Empire to get more weakend by any other threat?
I say


No longer we only think and do not take risks!
.....we stand up and fight.

No longer we listen to these goddam biggot Amarrian bastards!
.....we let our guns speak.

No longer we stand still and let our brothers and sisters endure the slavery!
.....we will free our kind.

The time is NOW!

LET THE DOGS OF WAR OUT
FIGHT
and BURN DOWN THE AMARRIAN SLAVERS FOREVER!!!
