You don't really know us Matari well. That kid? She's going to do a few things. She's going to enlist, arm herself and fight to prevent others from suffering as she did. She's going to learn to command a ship. Perchance she might even become a capsuleer with a grudge against you. Or she might work in the foundries, to build weapons and other hardware which will be used against you.

I suggest you remember their names. One day you might see them again, this time out for your blood.

Do you remember, Ms Kim, why our honoured ancestors had to leave Caldari Prime?

Why the honoured Admiral Yakiya Tovil-Toba made his heroic sacrifice?

Because we were not allowed the freedom to choose our own fates.

I will not dishonour the sacrifices of our ancestors by denying someone else the freedom to choose.

It looks like that, to you. You have neither been a slave, nor lived in the Republic. I can tell you exactly what the lives of those slaves who get sent to the Republic is, since I have experience with it: They're going to cluster around other former slave communities in rust districts while waiting for social services to give them work. They'll have free access to residence, food, and healthcare, including the psychiatric support a lot of them are going to need. In effect they'll be living exactly like the ones who are staying in the Empire: waiting to be told what to do while their needs are provided for by the government.

So no, it really doesn't matter where they get sent. Both will be infinitely better than where they've just been.


And they were transferred out of Amarr authorities the moment they were put up for sale on the SCC. Frankly, if any Holder is so faithless to put their slaves on that market, where they can fall into the hands of monsters like the Butcher, then those slaves should be filed as emancipated. It's clear that those Holders think their slaves' service to God and Empire is complete or they wouldn't be ignoring Scripture to sell them to commoners and foreigners in public open markets.

That's the fact of the matter: None of those slaves are legally owned by anyone anymore. You can't take them to the authorities and get them sorted, because there is no one to sort them to.

You know what the authorites actually need to do? What they need to do is get this kind of behavior stopped in the first place. The MIO and the TC need to audit the Civic Court and the Kingdom should be Reclaimed, by word or sword or whatever it takes. And any Holder who sells their slaves into the hands of non-Holders should have their titles stripped and their own lines enslaved, just like the Refusards. Every one who has ever done that has blasphemed against the sacred responsibilities they were supposed to uphold.

There's so many blatant heresies going on; that's what the authorities need to be focusing on. The Civic Court, the Kingdom, the 24IC, they all need to have their corruptions purged so that **** like this stops happening.

The rescued slaves that choose the Aurora Arcology project as their new home will live in the State as that is where the Arcology is located. Once recovered, they'll be offered a job within the Arcology project. Acceptance of this employee contracts makes them eligible to become State Citizens should they choose to pursue this venue.

On consulting the empire officals, this is already happened & is the base of the Aurora Arcology slave policy: Any slave found to be property of a legitimate Holder or higher ranking offical will be returned to their master. All other slaves will recieve guidance and, if needed, transported to more suitable organisations.
Legitimate Holders & higher officals are those Holders & officals who live in Ammar, Ammatar & Khanid space & are registrated as such by the authorities.

Nauplius, being capsuleer & 'Red God' - worshipper fails to qualify in this, hence his slaves are eligible for freedom & stay at the Arcology without repercussions from the Empire.

Edit: corrected the incorrect use of a word.... People are living beings! Not things! This was a genuine mistake!

I am confused. Would you rather the Amarr authorities turn a blind eye to law-breaking and allow it to continue rather than apply the laws in place, as prescribed by Scripture, and the appropriate penalties prescribed? Please note it is Amarr law and scripture that governs First Lieutenant Samira Kernher's comments.

If not, how would you persuade the law breakers to cease their illegal practices? A post on the IGS denouncing them?

I don't know the laws in question, on either the Empire or Kingdom side of things, but enforcing the laws and morality of the Empire on the Kingdom by means of war if necessary? That's a scary step to take. Who will be next then? The Republic? The Federation? Your allies?

@Sam

Pretty sure any owned commodity or property can quite justifiably be called an it. I'd take a look at the issues with ownership of other human beings before I'd start getting angry about the grammar applied.

Thank you for pointing out this shameful error on my part.... Corrected it at once! And indeed, slaves are people! Not things!

You were right the first time.

Ms. Karasawa, with all due respect, I would like to remind you, that they were fighting for what is ours. They were fighting for their homes, their corprations and their colonies, for their families and their assets. They were fighting for our culture and our independence, for preservance of our ideals and bloodlines.

The word you have used, the freedom, is dishonor.
The freedom, is what gallenteans teach us, as "good" side. If you will fight against gallenteans for "freedom", they have already won. The freedom is this chaos, that destroys societies, corporations and human lives. It is a reign of corruption, degradation, chaos and criminality.

Caldari people don't choose freedom. Caldari people choose loyalty and devotion.

We fight to not "have freedom to choose",
we fight to stand firm on what we have chosen.

You delusional little whelp.

You would disparage the sacrifice of one of your greatest war heroes? The Admiral flew out, against orders, to buy time for the evacuation. There was no plan to retake Caldari Prime with his actions. He knew what would be the outcome. His sacrifice allowed so many to escape. By your own words and tone you would label him and all those you fled Caldari Prime as traitors and cowards.

And freedom is not a Gallente word, you trollish little imp. Freedom is an ideal, which has various meanings to everyone throughout the sector. Yes, the Federation uses 'Freedom' as a rallying point to why they are so great...yet the concept of freedom is not foreign to the Caldari...the freedom to not be enslaved...the freedom to not bow knee to another empire.

Perhaps you ought to do a little more thinking before firing half-cocked all the time? But that would be too much to hope for.
