Intergalactic Summit

This is a victory, a long awaited one, but the rebellion against God's will remains at large.

As many already know, imperial forces are nearing total control over warzones in The Bleak Lands, Heimatar, Devoid, and Metropolis. The terrorists still controls three systems: Helgatild, Arnstur and Evati. Helgatild and Arnstur are expected to be reclaimed within a few days as we have already seized numerous terrorist staging points and infrastructures, and Evati will fall soon after the reclaiming of Helgatild and Arnstur.

We have made great progress with our righteous crusade! We must utilize our current position of power to penetrate deeper into the 'republic', putting down this blasphemous rebellion!

Now, more so than ever, do we need a pious heart dedicated for greatness.
Now, more so than ever, do we need a strong and united effort against the heathens!

An excellent opportunity is presented to us, an opportunity to save the heathens from an eternity in hell. We must destroy the terrorists and return the subjects of God back into a pious life in service to God!

I have this to say to the Matar terrorists: abandon all hopes, we will not stop until you are brought before the law and face judgement for treason.

Forgive me, but do you have a firm understanding of the Militia Powers Act, pilot? The present state of affairs, where solely capsuleer forces quarrel over segments of backwater low security space in limited engagements, was instituted by CONCORD precisely to prevent what you are suggesting, here - That is, a horrifyingly destructive total war between the Empires full military forces, with likely trillions of civilian casualties.

Be proud of your accomplishments if it pleases you, but it is folly to think that they will allow it to proceed any further, or even that the leaders of your own government (or for that matter, any government) truly want it to. For some perspective, the State occupied all of the Federal border systems in the northern warzone for over a year some time ago, and still nothing changed from the status quo.

Maybe this might convince Shakor that the currently enslaved citizens of the Empire of mostly Minmatar descent cannot be freed by force.

Or maybe it won't. I mean, they lost a few million casualties in the Elder Fleet raid, a few billion in the militia war so far, and now they've lost a couple dozen star systems, and that hasn't seemed to convince Shakor yet.

Makes you wonder who's pulling Shakor's strings, doesn't it ?

Amarr Victor. Hurrrr.

And do you have a firm understanding of how events unfold on paper, and how they actually take place in practice? CONCORD only interferes with the deployment of the Imperial Navy against the rebellion, not against capsuleer forces.
Truth be told, the advancement of the 24th Imperial Crusade had been largely the work of faithful capsuleers, with some involvement from the Imperial Navy (mostly defensive operations).

Also, you seem to have an inflated opinion of CONCORD and their capabilities, despite their numerous failures recently (especially in controlling the actions of capsuleers).

While CONCORD may have suffered in recent years, sir, I would not be so keen to run them through the mud. They still possess the largest fleet in the cluster outside of the major powers, and by far the most technologically advanced one - And continue to succeed in their mandate of shooting down hundreds of Capsuleer ships a day, in spite of whatever deficiencies you may attribute to them.

I would also comment that you seem to have misunderstood me a little. The reason why capturing systems listed under the act is so simple is mainly because the actual militaries are forbidden from high degrees of intervention in the conflict to prevent the outbreak of total war, as far as I am aware.

Of course, this doesn't extend to defending systems outside of the said list. If you believe it is feasible for Capsuleers to capture densely populated and navy-patrolled high security systems by themselves... Well, I will simply say that if you wish to test my assertion of the ideas impossibility, I would welcome you to prove me wrong by stepping into Amo or Anher with a fleet, starting shooting, and reporting back on what happens. For all our superiority to conventionally flown space craft, it would take tens of thousands of us to make a dent in even the smallest of the four navies.

CONCORD can destroy however many capsuleer pods or ships as they please, but does it actually have an effect on the actions of capsuleers?

And you missed the point entirely. Capturing systems? Capturing systems would be an objective when a great Reclaiming is declared. Not now.
I will, of course, not disclose any sort of intelligence on military operations. Just know that Amarr's champions will not sit idly.

On the contrary. The Empire's hubris has been extremely beneficial in the past. I'm sure it will be beneficial this time as well.

Hopefully, it will be beneficial to the right people rather than the wrong... entities.

Forgive me, sir, but if I have misunderstood you, what is your point, then? In my first post I warned against the idea of promoting a total war between whole Empires - Which seemed to be what you were saying, considering you talked about "penetrating deeper into the republic", and you refuted me by saying you were only speaking of Capsuleers. But after addressing that idea instead, you seem to be again suggesting a full Reclaiming is in order, which would be a total war by default.

Please, make it a little clearer for me. What exactly are you trying to say with this topic?



I know it's pedantry, but if you're talking about either Nation or the Sleepers, those aren't actually in the cluster.

The rings may be gone, but the fingers are still there.

Of one you are correct. Of the other, you are not. Or is it your understanding that "the Cluster" is comprised of only the four Empires, and not the rest of known space?
