Intergalactic Summit

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried. An escalation of this nature, if it ends up being backed by the entire Empire, could well cause both wars to explode into a scale greater then anything we've seen in the past century.

Then again, it could be argued that the militant spreading of the faith is finally on it's last death throes, with the failing of the Crusade and Jamyls emancipation policies. ... And warfare is what House Sarum is built around at it's core. With even the Emperess - From their own house, no less - Remaining distant in her support, this could represent a final do-or-die attempt to revitalize the practice, and their relevancy, in a surge of nationalism born of the Empires almost consistant defeats in the militia war, before their power and support base crumbles completely in the face of changing politics.

My knowledge of Amarrian politics is rather slim, however, so I could be completely mistaken.

Regardless, though, I wouldn't want to be amongst their ranks if the other Houses don't follow their lead.

Roden's right. There will be reparations, taken by force if necessary, if House Sarum goes through with this plan of theirs.

This is disheartening news. Such a move by house Sarum will only lead to more hate, war, and suffering. I hope that more moderate elements among the Amarrians will rise to voice opposition to this.

Oh, we are most definitely interested in both.

Good to hear. I understand Storm Wind Strikeforce would appreciate the work. Presuming the Empress is opposed to this mobilization, of course.

This is a distressing turn of events, coming at a time when my people are already reeling from distressing events.

Hopefully, my brothers, sisters, cousins and kin will think before we act. We have no reason to not take this quite seriously, and as such, we cannot afford to respond in piecemeal, random fashion. While I hope this is just a random and unsanctioned act by a single house, the fact that it is the Empress' house does not bode well. This will lead to a widening of the war. I do hope this does not come to pass.

If it should come to pass, I have every faith in our ability to repel any invasions. This does not mean that said invasions will not result in people being harmed, killed, and/or enslaved. This will be unavoidable, but it has not happened yet. This will do nothing but deepen the hatred of, and resentment toward, the Amarr and their Empire among my people. I should hope that "the faithful" do not pretend to be surprised when that is the result.

Patience and planning, my sisters and brothers. We can weather this storm, as we have weathered all before it.

What do you mean recently?

As much as it sickens me to even acknowledge your exiestence, I will remind that all such warnings are that it will happen if House Sarum goes through with their plan to enslave more Minmatar.



That said, my support is with Ava, and I doubt I'm the only Vherokior to agree with her.

This is all just so much idle talk until whips actually start hitting backs.

I will reserve a small bit of hope this proceeds as announced... but not much.

This isn't anything new. The Amarr have been announcing the beginning of a new reclaiming since the end of the last one hundreds of years ago.

Also, if just one house plans on attacking, the invasion would be a hilarious failure. When Kador attempted to invade Gallente space singlehandedly, things didn't go so well (the space battle lasted a few minutes). Of course, a reclaiming would be on a much greater scale but there are only so many resources a single house could put forward. The minmatar probably wouldn't need our help repelling an attack on such a small scale, but we'd be willing to provide it.

That said, obviously things will get bloody for everyone involved if the full might of the Amarr Navy strikes.
