Intergalactic Summit

Dal has fallen. After a 48 hour siege by 24th Crusade forces coordinated from a forward operating base in Siseide the Amarr Empire took control of the system and all station facilities. The siege of Dal was characterized by a few intense battles which saw over 500 ships lost during the last day of the siege as the Tribals sought to stem the tide.

Relative peace has now returned to Dal, and I have taken this opportunity to begin preparations for a proper clean up operations on its resident stations, starting with the Republic Fleet Assembly Plant. To this end I have moved men and material from my Amarr base to Dal:

After sufficient supplies have been moved, the following measures are taken to ensure proper order at the newly conquered stations:

Measures
- Martial law will be instated and curfews enforced during the transition period.
- False idols will be removed from public access corridors and put into secure storage vaults.
- Public areas will have to meet normal standards of propriety and cleanliness.
- Station docking managers will need to employ religious greetings as per Empire standard protocols.
- The grand tribal assembly hall will be remodeled and turned into a cathedral
- TLF affiliated personel left behind during the evacuation will be brought before a military tribunal and judged accordingly.
- Victory banners will be displayed on the outside of the station and in general hangar areas
- All children on station will receive mandatory schooling, such schooling will be paid for by the Empire.
- All station residents must kneel or curtsy when a 24th Crusade pilot that assisted in the Siege of Dal enters the area and furthermore treat them with a proper show of respect.

I am in consideration of other measures and am open to suggestions, but the above should be sufficient to ensure a relatively smooth transition.

Amarr Victor! Your efforts and sacrifices will not go unremembered or unnoticed. It is the will and prowess of the pilots in the frontlines that bring further glory and power to the Empire. The 24th shall be proud today, once again, for it is the will of the Empress that has been fulfilled today a little more than yesterday.

You're bringing confirmed slavers into the system? What's all that crap I hear some Imperial apologists spout about "we don't take any new slaves" and "the era of slavery is coming to an end"? How can you possibly call yourself civilized? While I am no fan at all of any of the militia wars, your ruthlessness has just given credence to those who would beat the war drum and call for the glassing of your planets. And if you and yours keep up like this, I see less and less reason to disagree with them.

The Amarr Empire is surely the most regressive society in the cluster.

You falsely assume I am of the Republic's culture as well. I have spoken out against brutality and genocidal war-talk on the part of Matari individuals as well, on these very forums. Take a peak at the thread Alexia Morgan started. Such individuals are also regressive and consumed by rage. And yet, these are relatively small cabals as compared to the entire institution that is the Amarr Empire. How the largest spacefaring entity in the cluster can remain this backwards is beyond me. I would have thought centuries of exploration and defeat at the hands of others would have humbled the Imperials into reconsidered their role in the cluster.

I thought wrong.

Edit: And note in that report that both sides of the culture-clash were hostile. Also note that no particular tribe condoned any acts of violence. Rather, the violence arose locally within those refugee camps and is simply a symptom of putting hot-headed peoples of clashing cultures in the same camps. People tend not to care which gods you worship if you're not doing it in their face or bothering them with it.

Then I hope you keep your word on the matter. Doing anything else will invalidate your position entirely.



That statement has no basis in logic at all.

Let us list the accusations, you suggested that I am:

- regressive
- uncivilized
- ruthless
- asking for others to beat war drums and glass planets
- illogical

How would you rate placing a bounty on someone's head, thereby suggesting you want people to try and to kill them, without verifying facts, without a trial, without even talking that person? Rate it on the attributes above please?

You don't win hearts and minds by kissing ass, you win them by staying true to your principles and being honest and straightforward.

One can reconciliate and heal wounds by finding the truth and punishing those who have committed war crimes and absolving those who didn't. Having old wounds fester is not the right way. One needs to clean house if one wants to start over.

As for the location of the Cathedral, it was simply the most expedient place on the upper decks, being large enough to contain a large mass of people.

Of course I will make sure that enough food and medicine are available. That is partly why I brought the antibiotics.

I observed the presence of many Janitors on that ship.

So, the Cleansing of Dal begins with a good mop down and polishing of things?

I try to remain impartial regarding the events of the militia war-powers zones, but I must agree with Katran. Admittedly, it's deeply disturbing to see such haughtiness on behalf of the Amarr concerning the capture of my system of birth.

Yes, however the Nefantar chose to convert and join the Empire willingly (note that I do not say they were conquered). They now live in a semi autonomous Mandate.

It might be a slightly different case for the citizens of Dal. Please note that I do not disagree with your assesments, though.
