Should the Wiyrkomi Honor Guard require assistance or simply welcome it, the Order of Light's Retribution will do all we are able to lend it. May your efforts prove fruitful and beneficial.

This is excellent news. Hopefully at least one of those taken to the authorities will be high enough in their organisation to provide additional details, leading to future interdictions of criminal activity, both capsuleer and baseline. Jikkarr has notified me of his participation and has strongly advised me that it would be in the interests of mutual cooperation and efficiency in persecuting these threats for additional NISYN assets to be seconded to your strikes, should additional concentrations of criminal activity be uncovered.

I look forwards to additional reports of your activities, perhaps even an interview when you are able to declassify former operations.

Would you still consider the slaves contraband if they are held to accordance to the Amarrian faith?

According to my religion, slavery is allowed for the purpose of introducing a soul to God

I believe that Operation Broken Bridge is taking place solely in State owned territory. The Empire's treaty with the Caldari State requires us to adhere to their laws within their space, as they are required to adhere to our laws within our space. This mutual respect is the cornerstone of our alliance.

The State does not concern itself with concepts such as religion of the individual in most cases, Brother Hashur. What it does do is make and enforce laws. In the State, slavery is illegal and anyone visiting the State is expected to adhere by State law just as we expect anyone visiting the Empire to adhere to Imperial Law.

Even if you are a recognized Holder in the Empire, that status means nothing in the State and if you are practicing slavery within the State, you are breaking State Law and therefore subject to legal action. Because of this, "slaves" are considered contraband in the State and they are confiscated just as those transporting them are placed under State legislative jurisdiction.

Some research into the culture and laws of our allies in the State would serve us well.

As a side note, it is pleasing to see success from WHG in this regard. The offer to assist as we are able remains standing from HOLR.

I would not say there is a moral judgement on the issue of slavery, but I would hazard a guess and say that since the majority of the members of the CEP do not practice the Amarrian faith then decisions are made on the practical and legal issues regarding an indentured workforce in the State and the potential anti-competitive nature of unpaid labour practices in business.

Status Update Operation Broken Bridge: Sub-operation BB2-Persecution


During routine sweeps of Guristas activity in Black Rise, evidence was uncovered pertaining to criminal elements performing combat manouevres to unknown ends. As acting XO at this period of time, I requested back up from NISYN pilot Jikkarr and informed Kyokkinen-haani of the situation. Minor capsuleer interference delayed initial investigations, but reinforcement from Kyokkinen-haani provided us with the manpower to push forwards. Logs salvaged from the remains of an identified command vessel revealed that the facility discovered at the engagement site was some form of Experimental Weapons development facility. Furthermore, these logs provided co-ordinates to a potential supply point, reinforcing our hypotheses with regards to the logistical network required to maintain a base like this in secrecy.

Pursuing initial leads personally, it was found that the supply chain for this facility ran deep, with initially light, unsuspecting interference from mercenary elements and Guristas vessels. As the location of this hub of activity was starting to become clear, significant Guristas reinforcements were encountered, in excess of what my vessel was able to deal with. A task force of five pilots was mustered, and the operation prosecuted with ruthless efficiency.

Aftermath reports have uncovered the following worrying facts:

• The Guristas had the resources to not only develop an Experimental Weapons Facility with hitherto unknown means of generating a gravitational torsion field capable of compromising battlecruiser defences out to a range of approximately 85km, but keep this base hidden until sloppy internal communique security betrayed them
• What is assumed to be a prototype 'Weapons Station' was uncovered in the closing stages of this investigation, in the Pure Blind region under [redacted] sovereignty. Though there is no evidence of capsuleer cooperation with these criminals, it cannot be ruled out

Due to the remoteness of Pure Blind with regards to our current theatre of operations, it is my fear that for now, these points will remain unanswered until additional investigations cross-over into this line of inquiry. To this end, a greater number of exploratory patrols will be active in the Black Rise region to pursue these criminals and end their efforts to manufacture illegal weaponry.

Honorable mentions go to:

• Desiderya - CEO of WHG
• Egon Ekkehardt - Eskeitan of WHG
• Nimaatre - CEO of The Crimson Imperium
• Michael Avada - Associate of NISYN

for their part in assisting this operation. All pilots co-operating in this endeavor have been provided with a provisional credit-chit which will be funded with a share of the proceeds of this operation as the experimental and prototype star ship modules discovered in the wreckage of the Experimental Station are liquidated.

End of Report.

This is a thread created to discuss operations pertaining to State law being upheld in State sovereignty, with remit to pursue those leads wherever they may fall (Black Rise/Placid/Pureblind being frequent sources of Gurista and Serpentis activity in the current theater of operations). It is not a theological or moral discussion, it is an ongoing report on law-enforcement activity as prosecuted by WHG pilots and their associates.

No official comment besides the legal ramifications of slave trading in the State have been discussed with regards to the Amarrian faith, leading to the conclusion that your continued pursuit of theological and moral discussion is born of ignorance. Please refer to statements in this thread, or for a live demonstration, attempt to carry indentured human cargo over the State border.

Further theological discussion in this thread will be seen as a sign of disrespect (for whatever that is worth to you), we do not impose our morals and lawful edicts in your submissions to this board and ask you show us the same minimum level of respect. With the way such discussions usually go (the burned out wrecks of threads concerning Slavery provide ample evidence), I am sure you understand my abruptness in putting an end to the discussion of what is a foreign, extraneous and completely irrelevant line of discussion in our theater of operations. Should operations in Amarrian sovereign space commence (unlikely), I would welcome this line of inquiry to re-open, but not a moment before.
