Intergalactic Summit

Of one thing I am sure, the premeditated murder of the crew of the Titan Seraph must not be forgotten. The speed of their brutal execution left scant time for any to reach escape pods. The Drifters came to murder, and they did not stop until jamyl sarum was a corpse in space.

I humbly offer this prayer to the One True God of the Matari people to forgive and accept the crew of the Titan Seraph. Be sure they were members of all races in the demonic slavery cult of New Eden including slaves of Matari and Gallente blood. We have all been blooded in this murderous criminal attack.

"Almighty God of my ancestors, accept the souls of these sinners and victims alike, some followed the evil path not because they were all evil people, but because they had been over the course of their life's indoctrinated by false beliefs and diid not know better. Many had family, friends, faith, and loyalty, please forgive their blindness an embrace them in the loving arms of your mercy and forgiveness, in the name of your Emissary I beg of this from you The One True Almighty God."

No hard numbers have been released yet, but the normal crew compliment for an Avatar-class titan fluctuates in the 90-110,000 range, depending on mission loadout. If we include the Empress's likely detachments of marines and bodyguards, I would anticipate this to be nearer the upper end of the scale, and perhaps even exceeding the 110,000 mark, depending on the modifications of the TES Seraph.

That said, the Seraph's hulk, like that of many titans when they sustain fatal levels of damage, is in many respects intact. It's entirely possible that significant numbers of the crew, dignitaries, and other personnel were able to reach escape pods before atmospheric venting and life support failures killed them. They were, fortunately, not under sustained fire and smartbomb exposure the way many titans that are destroyed are.

Sorry you feel that way, Jill. Nobody deserved that. It's not like they signed to serve on a cruiser in Delve,they were crew on a ceremonial titan in highsec. I extend my compassion to the families of all those killed aboard the Seraph.

Part of why I love frigates so much is that I know my rather frequent and embarrassing mistakes won't make orphans.

While I hold the memory of Jamyl Sarum in great respect, one has to admit that her destruction of the Elder Fleet rather hampered Matari efforts to free the enslaved people of Amarr.

Your pathetic vitriol for the Empire will be your downfall you mewling worm. The crew of that ship did nothing directly to harm you or your own.
As others have stated the Empress did more for emancipation and Matari Liberation than any in generations and did so without bloodshed, unlike the 'Elder Fleet' which murdered and ravaged their way into a position to forcibly drag untold numbers from their homes.

When the Drifters come for you, we will not weep either. Instead turn our backs and return the sentiments you show here.

Only the truly deranged would call that woman compassionate.

Claiming that the Empresses was some sort of humanitarian because she released the 9th generation of slaves is like claiming a hostage-taker is merciful when he releases one hostage after murdering a hundred others. The blood of thousands of my people are on the hands of Amarr. The Drifters are nothing compared to the true monsters our own galaxy has unleashed.

Are you kidding? Ever shown up to a new baseliners first day and watch them trip over themselves when they realize that the "Ship Lieutenant" has ports in the back of their neck? Try it sometime, gotta have some fun when you're immortal.

Too many of us fall into this trap - I've even met capsuleers who believe their battleships have no crew. Ever since B-R, I've made a point of getting out of the goo as often as I can - even making sure to maintain my own quarters on all of my ships. It's something I encourage all capsuleers to do, to reconnect with your crews.

Is it really that uncommon to mingle with your crew? I regularly mix with my crews during training, shakedowns, and after-hours functions. I'm only their superior on paper, in my opinion - it's mostly a genetic fluke.

No wonder so many eggs get so scrambled.
