Intergalactic Summit

Greetings Capsuleers, on behalf of His Highness, Aritcio Kor-Azor.

It seems that once again the resolve and faith of the Amarr people are tested, and once again the Succession Trials are upon us. As the steward for House Kor-Azor, I shall be the point of contact for all those who seek to represent his Highness in the halls of combat.

In addition to the rules laid out by the Court Chamberlain for the YC118 Succession Trials, House Kor-Azor requests and requires fulfillment of certain criteria in order that a prospective captain be selected for representation. His Highness has provided instruction to relay this criteria to potential candidates, in order that selection of the most appropriate pilots be both decisive, and swift.

Lord Kor-Azor cares less for the origins and birth heritage of his potential champion, and more for demonstration of their loyalty to the Empire. Candidates with high standing toward corporations and organizations within the Empire, and those with high standing to corporations and organizations within the Caldari State and Gallente Federation that have the best interests of the Empire in mind, will be highly regarded regardless of their bloodline.

In addition to this, those whom have displayed a measurable and sustained level of support for the late Empress Jamyl I will be held in high favour during the selection process.

Lord Kor-Azor expects all candidates to provide adequate evidence of their combat prowess, and to fully justify their selection of retainers for their Championship Team.

House Kor-Azor awaits your applications for consideration.

Good evening, Aya Khema. It is both a pleasure to meet, and to present myself to your judgement as a potential candidate.

I am gladdened to hear that His Highness is of such sound mind that he is willing to put bloodlines behind, and instead focus on the real matter at hand - finding capsuleers that are up to the task. It is with that in mind that I present myself, despite my Sebiestor bloodline, and wish to offer my service to His Higness, Aritcio Kor-Azor.

Amarr is home to me. I have spent years vanquishing the foul Sansha from it's regions, and proving my military worth by climbing up the ranks among security agents of both the Amarr Empire and Caldari State. I have made my home in Amarr VIII's Oris station in the past, and even now reside in Amarr's space, cleansing the factional warfare space from those that do not deserve to stay.

Certainly, this makes my loyalty to the Amarrian empire itself clear - and I wish to add upon this the proof of my capability in combat and leadership. Over a year, I have spent, in the command of the fleets that rebel against the Sansha excursions, proving my calm and intelligence in large fleet scenarios. When it comes to fleet fights in Amarr's faction warfare space, I am often spotted in a Guardian, once more proving myself - but now in the field of split-second decisions, and target management. Only once in my entire history has a loss of a guardian befallen me in combat.

While I am afraid I do not have much in the way of video material regarding to Amarrian ships, I hope that this will be sufficient evidence to prove that I am not afraid of a fight, and can keep my calm when engaged. Amarrian ships have always been the staple of my hangar, especially the Imperial Navy Slicer, Omen Navy Issue, Harbringer - And in the soon future, Confessor.

It is with this that I conclude my presentation, and pray that I will considered worthy to represent His Highness in the Succession Trials.

Thank you Aya Khema for your invitation.

I, Alexander Hashur, alias threeDspider humbly request the consideration of House Kor-Azor.

I began my career as many capsuleers of Caldari descent do, performing menial tasks at the behest of the Caldari Navy. As my combat skills grew however, I came to better understand the glory of the Amarr Empire and soon began my holy endeavors for the Ministry of War to honor the Empire.

During the faction wars in Black Rise I was compelled to help quell the rebellious Minmatar and their heretical uprising against gods own will by pacifying their Gallente supporters with the Caldari State Protectorate. Through perseverance and cunning I achieving the rank of Wing Commander. As enlightening as this new combat experience was proving to be I still felt my path was elsewhere, and while I wished to help Amarr directly I felt unworthy for admittance into the 24th Imperial Crusade, so I sought to improve my combat skills in 'null-sec' lawless space in order to one day honor Amarr properly.

In the dangerous voids of Curse and Immensea under the tutelage of other capsuleers I began my rebirth. The Raven class battleship I had once so coveted felt like a cold empty Quafe can spinning through space compared to the warm divine light of the Abaddon and the Apocalypse Navy Issue. The heathen CFC Drakes fell under the glorious energy beams of our Zealots in the Tribute war. Our Archon 'slowcat' doctrine made full use of the powerful Amarrian armor plating and was unmatched in it's battlefield control capabilities, and our Legion doctrine was justly named; our legion of powerful strategic cruisers have cut swathes of inferior vessels from existence. Through pain and suffrage, in combat I found my redemption in glorious golden light. Victory in an Amarr vessel is the only true victory!

In an effort to refine my individual combat abilities, I flew an Omen class cruiser in the Oceanic Assault Tournament of YC117, and emerged the victor over a technically superior Caldari cruiser through wit and the divine favor of our late Empress Jamyl I. I mourn the loss of our Empress, her life was cut short by a threat we did not adequately prepare for.

I now address his highness, Aritcio Kor-Azor.

I wish only to be a most useful servant in your ascension. I have fought my inferior heritage to be among God's chosen people. I stand before you a refined combat machine, forged in nullsec and tested in unending combat. Make me your champion so that you may take your rightful place upon the same throne your father Emperor Doriam Kor-Azor once took. The empire needs the guiding hands of a man who understands true pain, so that our pain may be returned tenfold. I will bring the burning light of the Amarr people forth and let all acknowledge it's glory!

Eternal glory to the Amarr Empire! Amarr Victor!

My honorable lord Aritcio Kor-Azor

I Cable Uta humbly request your blessing to represent thee in the coming succession trials. I have been engrossed with my crusade to spread the word of the amarrian empire to the far reaches of Cobalt Edge, however the succession trials supersede any work of the empire’ subjects for a holy emperor must be or the empire will plunge into chaos and ruin. I devoutly believe your rule to be the only true choice, and it will be essential to empower our great empire.

I consider myself a servant of the empire and I will pledge to win the trials in your name, by the use of the vast knowledge of combat gained from my years in the far reaches of wormhole space, in my many outnumbered engagements against the vast horde of the infidel capsuleer empires living in the drone lands of New Eden.

Though not an amarrian by birth, I have always seen myself pulled towards the glory of the empire, be it in the hundreds of missions completed in highsec, or when purging the Drone Lands of infidel capsuleers.
I do not have any proof of my many deeds, as I let the spoken word carry the stories of my battles across the vast universe that is New Eden. However, I have proof of my capabilities in using unorthodox methods bringing my foes to their knees in the heat of combat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO2gl5TQx_U
The video speaks for itself, but the short explanation is in the latest Alliance Tournament, we fought The Afterlife, in the heat of battle I pulled a rare move of using my very own ship as a batteringram causing the opposing ship to Micro Jump Driving out of the arena boundary.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcvWl8Iwva8
In this video the a similar move is pulled, where it is also done in an amarrian ship!

https://zkillboard.com/character/90985265/
A list of my accomplishments through my many lives is here, thought it might not be as well rounded as many other nullsec residents, it is to be noted that most of these kills have been gained outnumbered and outgunned, and yet I / we still managed to break the ranks of our foes and strike them down.

I see myself a wise choice for a champion, due to my great experience and success in the yearly alliance tournament, and wish to be your tool to ascension. I have been forged in the heart of combat been refined by the many challenges throughout my many lives. I will bring you the victory be it at my undoing, for the amarrian people must have one true emperor!

For Amarr!
For Kor-Azor!
For glory!

Miss Aya Khema, official emissary to the House Kor-Azor, House of Imperial Chancellor and Heir Aritcio Kor-Azor,

I humbly respond to the invitation of the House Kor-Azor to fight for the ascension of the Chancellor to the position of Emperor, and hereby declare my bid for the position of Champion in the upcoming Succession Trials.

I recognize that, as an ethnically Gallentean capsuleer, I would be seen as a non-choice by many; as such, in gratitude, I welcome the House Kor-Azor’s position on this otherwise controversial possibility. I am currently held in excellent regard by the House, at a CONCORD-recognized 10.00 unmodified standings score; and as countless others do, I pray deeply for the appointment of the righteous heir Aritcio Kor-Azor to the position of Emperor.


In the past, my actions have generally laid apart from the affairs of the Empires. However, that is not to say I have paid them no interest; rather, I have always taken initiative to learn all I have been able to of New Eden’s’ politics and the state of the cluster. In that vein, I have long upheld the policies and leadership of Chancellor Kor-Azor as a fair, stable, effective and purely good form of government for the Amarr Empire. It is my belief that Chancellor Kor-Azor is by far the best candidate and the most worthy of the heirs to be made the next Emperor. In these unsure times, the Amarr Empire, now more than ever, is in need of an luminary who will both uphold and bolster the unity and integrity of the Empire, and sustain and cultivate relations with the other factions of the cluster in order to further empower Amarr and its people. Chancellor Aritcio Kor-Azor is the choice candidate for the Emperorship in the spirit of unifying and focusing the morale of the Amarr Empire and expanding its strength and influence through the growth of interfactional relations.

For as long as I have been a capsuleer, I have held a deep respect for the late Empress, openly voicing my positive feelings toward her policies and decrees and, more recently, appearing at all possible events where she was to be in attendance, up to her final appearance at Safizon and her tragic demise at the hands of Vigilant Tyrannos forces. Over all others, Aritcio Kor-Azor is the rightful choice for the next Emperor. I will support his bid for the throne in any way possible; and I would consider it the utmost honor to represent the House in the trials.

Greetings Aya Khema, I thank you for this audience and opportunity to submit myself to His Highness' judgement.

Chancellor Aritcio, If you would permit me, I would like to explain my background and layout why I believe that I am the best choice to be your champion. I will not lie, I freely admit that I once flew alongside the Minmatar in open combat against the Amarr Empire. In my youth I made mistakes, a concept i believe you are somewhat familiar with; this was one of them.

I spent my first years as a capsuleer flying alongside my elder adopted sister and her companions, and was eventually joined by my younger sisters once they came of age. In YC114, being afflicted by the curse of youth, I left my sisters and companions of my previous corporation behind and struck out on my own. In my haste and inexperience I bought into the propaganda, and joined the Tribal Liberation force. My tenure with them was short, measuring little over a day before i was persuaded to join a group called T.R.I.A.D., whom I flew with for just over a month. In that time I saw and learned much about the ways of this world, and it opened my eyes. I saw that the current border conflicts are nothing but puppet wars for corrupt politicians and greedy warmongers. That they are a waste of life for all sides, that they do nothing but bring pain and suffering to innocents, and waste resources that could be better put to use helping the underprivileged in this our home we call New Eden. After having my eyes opened to this reality, I couldn't stomach it, and I took my leave to rejoin my sisters; enlightened and scarred.

I spent the next several years following in my sister's foot steps, trying to find meaning and purpose in this life. Eventually I was introduced to a man called Coelomate, to an idea called the Phoebe Freeport Republic, and to his vision of a place where all men are free. You see, I came to realize that what I truly believe in, is the betterment of mankind, and I know of but two ways that work toward that: Justice, and His word. I myself am still learning His teachings, and I admit that I do not yet know all of His scriptures, but I do know of one passage that struck a cord with me. It is written:

"So the Lord sent forth the Chosen,
to bring forth the light of faith
And those who embrace his love
Shall be saved by his grace
For we are his shepherds in the darkness
His Angels of Mercy.
But those who turn away from his light,
And reject his true word
Shall be struck down by his wrath
For we are his retribution incarnate
His Angels of Vengeance"
- The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 4:45

His chosen began as the Amarr people, charged with spreading the word to all the stars. In the past this was done through warfare and subjugation, but as is His way and the way of the universe, things change. The Lord accepts all those into his kingdom who accept Him and His word. More people, of all races, have joined into His light since the end of open conflict than ever before. Now his chosen are not determined by only blood, but by faith, and it is the duty of all the faithful to spread His word. His word and Empire are forces for good, this has been proven time and again, by the late Empress Jamyl most of all. I believe that of the heirs attempting to claim His throne, you, and you alone, can bring about the true reclamation; that you do His work, bringing light and salvation to the peoples of New Eden.

You are the true heir to the throne, and as such deserve a proper champion. I have fought many battles, large and small, and have learned much in my time as a capsuleer. Even before finding my way to the path, He guided me to confront the enemies of light. My sisters and I have killed countless legions of the blood raiders, sansha, and angel cartel. I have trained extensively and become adept at commanding nearly every sub-capital class ship available to me, including extensive experience flying mighty Amarrian vessels. In addition to direct combat training, I have learned how to lead. That mix of experience in turn lead me to my current position as the Head Military Director for the Phoebe Freeport Republic. In fact, it was due to Amarrian might that my current home was secured; by the fierce Navy Issue Augoror. I feel I must apologize, due to the nature of my position, most recent footage there is of my exploits is classified, however I do have limited footage of my abilities. My team and I laid low our opponents, and again, during the recent capsuleer Alliance Tournament, despite being outnumbered during two engagements. During match #42 specifically, I flew an Amarr Navy Issue Apocalypse, laying waste to our foes.

In addition, many in New Eden fear progress or are simply ignorant, and as such my home system of 4-CM8I is one of the most violent capsuleer controlled systems in New Eden with 36,656 capsuleer kills this year as of this petition. I take pride in my personal ability to lay waste to those that stand in the way of progress, and swear on my honor that i will do you justice, and allow you to claim the throne that is rightfully yours so you may usher in the renewed Reclamation.


I humbly await your judgement.

Greetings Aya Khema,

Please relay these words to His Highness, Aritcio Kor-Azor.



Sadness filled my heart when i heard the news that our beloved Empress Jamyl came to pass, and yes i say our beloved Empress, and yes i was born Gallente.
But since long i broke the shackles that my origin laid upon me and since long i am serving those that stand for justice and those that pursue a better mankind.
I clearly remember when i made my choice, it was the day that our beloved Empress Jamyl ascended her throne. It was a glorious day for the Empire, it was a magnificent day for New Eden and the coronation ceremony could be felt throughout New Eden.
That day i saw the wrongs of my old ways and that day i saw the way forward to righteousness.

It pleases me greatly that His Highness, Aritcio Kor-Azor shows such great wisdom in His decision to look beyond bloodline and heritage to find a worthy champion.
The Ammar Empire is great and the Ammar Empire can become even more magnificent with the welcoming of those born another race but with a heart burning with Ammarian Faith.

His Highness, Aritcio Kor-Azor is looking for capsuleers that have proven dedication, I am such a capsuleer.
Before our Beloved Empress ascended her Throne and before her ascension awoke a devout fire in me i have been serving the Federation Navy. My records show a long and maintained dedication. I am confident Kueres Malayme, my personal contact within the Federation Navy will be happy to vouch for me. We have a long standing work relationship and she thinks highly of me.
I realised then, in hindsight, that i wrongfully harmed some Ammar souls. My actions can never be undone and for that i feel burdened, I offered my apologies but apologies alone are not sufficient.
I know that only through repentance and through loyalty i will find my salvation.
So i have changed. And switched my dedication to other causes. When our beloved Empress Jamyl ascended her Throne see founded the Emperor Family corporation and started my repentance under her reigns in close contact with agent Hemtalasi Hemotri who will certainly be able to confirm this statement.

I hope His Highness is pleased with my efforts.

Therefore I, Drelnar offer my candidacy to become the Champion for House Kor-Azor,
I pledge my allegiance to His Highness, Aritcio Kor-Azor and to the Amarr Empire and my faith will lead me in this new chapter in the history of the great Empire
I will strive to make the entire Empire realise that there is always hope for salvation and that anyone can defend the honor of the Empire regardless of blood and race.
Through faith my heart will be cleansed and through faith the Empire and House Kor-Azor will prevail.

To the most graceful representative of our Lord Kor-Azor:

It has saddened me greatly to hear of our wonderful Empress's death. I now feel a personal stake in the current conflicts.

Therefore, I, Ayara Itris, hereby humbly beg the tremendous honor of serving House Kor-Azor as their Champion in the coming Trials. I have long admired the Kor-Azor and worked with many of that great house in my time serving for their allies in the Caldari Militia. Our lord Articio Kor-Azor is a great, kind, and benevolent man, and I look forward to helping him claim the throne (if he desires my aid).

Ever since my rebirth as a capsuleer, I have been attatched to the Amarr. My corporation spent many months in the throne worlds and all around Amarrian empire space. We brought the cleansing fire of our Lord to those pirates who dared tread in low-security space. We fought off the Sansha Incursions and learned the ways of God and of battle.

We have sinced left the direct domain of the Amarrian houses, but their holy will still burns bright within us. Our military doctrines are entirely focused around Amarrian vessels such as the Abaddon, Navy Apocalypse and Oracle. I am now an expert pilot of almost every Amarr subcapital ship.

Here is a link to my personal killboard:

https://zkillboard.com/character/94348604/

I pray you look upon me with favor. God Bless you.

Greetings Stewardess Aya Khema of house Kor-Azor

I, Mizhir Starsurge, am honoured to pledge my service to His Highness Aritcio Kor-Azor. I will thank you for taking the time to read my application.

It was a sad day when the godless Drifters took away our beloved Empress Jamyl I. She was an inspiration for us all and through her wisdom and mercy I learned about the light of God. She rewarded millions of slaves with freedom for their service to God and she has offered God’s protection to anyone who is willing to serve. She had the courage to lead the forces of the Empire against the Drifters when everyone else hesitated. Her sacrifice shall not be in vain and therefore it is my duty to aid His Highness, Aritcio Kor-Azor, claim the throne, so he can unite humanity in the name of God and purge the unholy Drifters from the universe.

The unholy flesh of the Drifters is both a threat and an insult to the life that God created. I have seen it with my own eyes, which has caused me to dedicate my life and my knowledge to study their nature so we, with God’s help, can bring an end to their terror. I failed to reach my goal before they took away our beloved Empress and the life of countless of men and women who fought by her side, but each day I pray for their souls and pray for God to aid me. And now I also pray for getting the chance to redeem myself in the service of Lord Aritcio Kor-Azor.

I never had the honour of serving the late Empress directly but I have assisted the Empire and its allies in the fight against pirates and terrorists. I have aided a handful of Amarr organizations, such as Ministry of Assessment, and I have served the Caldari Navy. Although His Highness Aritcio Kor-Azor hasn’t mentioned it as criteria, I still find it worth mentioning that I have also aided Concord in the fight against Sansha Kuvakei.

You may wonder how a pilot of the corporation Matari Exodus can serve the Empire. And to that I will of course provide an answer. Despite our name we do no longer serve the Republic. Our purpose is to protect civilians caught in the low security space warzone where several of pirate and terrorist organizations seek to take advantage of the war for their own good. But having witnessed how both the Republic and The Tribal Liberation Force have failed the civilians, we now work independently and hunt pirates in the warzone while avoiding interfering with the war itself. Instead we wish for an Empire that can provide security for these innocent people and welcome them with open arms. I believe that His Highness Aritcio Kor-Azor will be the right emperor for this task.

I am a combat pilot who has specialized in small scale combat and therefore the format of the succession trials will come natural to me. I am a capable pilot both on my own and in small fleets and I have been trained to fight against the odds as a small force is often the best choice to lure out those who prey on the weak. My experience covers a wide array of ships which of course includes the powerful Amarr ships. My capabilities as a pilot came to a test when I along the Camel Empire fought in the 13th Alliance tournament and were only bested by one team.

We are facing hard times and we need an Empire that is stronger than ever. Your Highness please let me serve you and I will grant you victory, for God, for the Empire and for Mankind.

God bless you
- Mizhir Starsurge
