Intergalactic Summit

I propose the initiative to refocus our efforts to have harsh criminal, economic, travel, and commerce sanctions against the slavers of sansha an amarr by all the free people of the cluster.

All amarr & sansha flagged vessels, and vessels piloted by sansha or amarr capsuleers will be designated as criminal with permanent -10 Concord security status that will apply to pods as well and thus become fair game targets to all the free people, militias, navies, and gate guns of New Eden. All economic activities with amarr pilots or amarr corporations will be subject to an eighty five percent (85%) tariff.

All amarr pilots wishing to immediately resign from their militia will be granted positive security status as long as they conduct no further criminal actions against Minmatar, Calari, or Gallente territory and pilots anywhere. All non militia amarr pilots who relocate out of amarr controlled empire space and never return shall be granted positive security status as a term of amnesty for their past participation in supporting the slavery cult. Any return to space controlled by the criminal amarr slave cultists will terminate the amnesty. All amarr pilots seeking amnesty shall have 60 days to relocate all their legal assets from space controlled by the criminal slave cult empire.

The amnesty will be applied to the empire of amarr if they renounce their claim to a divine right to enslave fellow human beings and emancipate all slaves and grant them full legal citizenship with the ability to immigrate to other empires should they freely choose to do so. A reparations fund shall be created to assist and support formerly enslaved humans paid by the amarr empire equal to twenty percent (20%) of their annual GDP for the next fifty (50) years. The fund will be administered by Concord and paid directly to whatever empires the formerly enslaved amarr citizens immigrate to. Strict accounting methods shall be implemented to guarantee none of the reparations fund shall ever be used to initiate military activity against the amarr empire once it renounces slavery and implements full legal citizenship to former slaves. Using reparations funds to build warships or weapons used against the former slave amarr slave empire will carry with it a permanent penalty of -10 Concord security status that will apply to pods as well.

The monstrous slavers of sansha and amarr must be isolated and defeated. The horror of human slavery that is the foundation of their cultures should no longer be tolerated. All slavers should be met with the same martial response be they sansha or amarr.

The good people of Caldari deserve a better ally. The good people of Gallente deserve a more consistent ally. Mistakes have been made, grand and tragic mistakes. Minmatar must shed no more Gallente & Caldari blood, Gallente must shed no more Caldari & Minmatar blood, Caldari must shed no more Minmatar or Gallente blood.

The free people of the cluster must exist in peace, strong and united against the real evils that threaten us all.

The monstrous slavers of sansha and amarr.

Oh brother, another fruitcake.

And you're going to enforce this, How?

I know it's the season and all, but enough with the fruitcakes. I'd prefer to have stout and rum cakes.

The only problem with the Holy Days is that you get far too many fruitcakes. You never know what to do with them all, and you eventually just have to throw them all out the airlock and pray they don't become frozen projectiles that damage nearby satelites.

You propose that CONCORD enact security penalties and economic sanctions against a CONCORD signatory, and the largest imperial navy in the cluster? And then engage in total war against the Amarr?

Fascinating notion. I wonder how rapidly this would lead to CONCORD's dissolution, and the expansion of the CEWPA war to secure space as CONCORD's already-tarnished reputation collapses entirely.

I should wonder, then, what would happen if this grand crusade against the Amarr Empire succeeds, stripping the State of its most reliable ally; what would happen if the Federation and the Republic had no counterbalance when facing the State. While I have no doubt that the State would account well for itself and make the Federation rue the day it embarked on an attack, I prefer the current state of affairs.

Good luck on your fool's errand.

All the legal teeth you requested in this would need to come from CONCORD. It would, essentially, be the recasting of a signatory member as something akin to the Blood Raider Covenant.

This is all possible, of course, except that it would require the Empress to sign off on making her own state a Galactic Pariah. She won't. This is doomed to fail.

Sir, I'd like to note that I didn't call you a name. I called your idea a name. It's a small point, but relevant.

Sent you a little wake up notice.

Idiot.

An initiative that does not take into account all sides fairly has small chance of long term success. Your points are well taken.

I have hopes that despite the long horrible history of the amarr they are plain feeling people just like the rest of us. They too were born into the horrible slavery culture. I am betting that their humanity will overcome the past practices if they are offered an alternative.

I pray for the total eradication of slavery, not a genocide against the amarr people.

People are basically decent, cultures and governments can be corrupt beyond belief. That is why I proposed full amarr citizenship to all those enslaved. They have work now and fulfill an economic need in the amarr/ entire cluster economy, they simply need to have fair wages, safe working conditions, and all the other rights granted to amarr citizens.

I have grave concerns about the festering conflict between Caldari & Gallente. I do not wish it to reach the levels of hatred and despair that have for millennia plagued the Matari and amarr. At the negotiating table the free people of New Eden I hope could enact safeguards that would be acceptable to all sides.

I am a capsuleer, not unknowledgeable about war and death, but if we can avoid war I am ready to take that path yesterday!

After centuries of combat perhaps victory is available if we redefine it to mean mutual success and liberty.

I am appreciative of all constructive comments to make this initiative fully just and workable.

I am sorry for the sins of my people and myself, but what you suggest cannot occur. CONCORD is a neutral police force if they were to side against Amarr then it would largely dissolve. Amarr would dismantle the guns on the gates in their space and war would break out throughout the cluster.

The Caldari would not align with the Gallente on this so you can expect little help in this regard, and the Gallente would likely be to concerned with the Caldari to focus significant aid. What you wind up with is exactly what you already have. Minmatar at war with Amarr with slight aide from Gallente.

Join the Minmatar militia, fight with your people to free whomever you can. You can try to rally people to your cause, build your own corporation and align against Amarr and Sansha. Form an alliance with others corporations with similar goals. Perhaps you can make a difference.
