Intergalactic Summit

I'm fairly sure it will be a sultry day on Home before Pyre accepts a contract from the FDU.

To be completely honest, my experiences over the last few years have suggested to me that the Minmatar have, if anything, shown admirable restraint and tolerance towards the Empire.

Tell that to the families of the hundreds of thousands of dead Navymen in Algogille.

Although late. On behalf of the Ishukone-Raata Enforcement Directive, I wish to congratulate our allied pilots within Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris and those loyal to the Amarr Empire for their victory. It is indeed an accomplishment.

That never belonged to it.


Insurgents against a brutal, unprovoked occupation and subjugation of their culture.


Except everyone, including the Amarr, know this isn't true. Anyone who works for any Level II mission agent in Gallente or Minmatar space will be sent to break up the efforts of Amarrian slavers who bear Imperial Navy insignia daily, if not more often.


Then stop trying to make out as if you have any right to complain when those you conquered, continue to attempt to conquer and continue to hold in undesired servitude continue to want to wipe you off the map.

Except the Amarr has never respected any treaty it's ever signed with any other foreign power - it has merely given the appearence of respecting it so that it can claim some sort of phony moral superiority when others violate their treaties more obviously. Imperial Navy ships have been launching slaving raids into Republic, Federation and, yes, even State space for as long as I've been a capsuleer. They have set up illegal, unregulated stargates - much in the same way scum like the Serpentis or the Cartel do - to assist in the taking of slaves from foreign space more efficiently and quickly. The Amarr have made it very clear in both statement and action that the only reason they abide by treaties at all is because it gives them time to wait for a better opportunity to conquer and subjugate.

And for reference, the Amarr have never agreed to acknowledge the Minmatar Republic as a sovereign, independent nation - only as a fellow signatory of the CONCORD charter. The Amarr's official diplomatic position on the Republic has never been anything other than a rebellious province which it is currently politically inconvenient to attempt to re-subjugate. I'm not going to use the word "reclaim" here because it delivers the entirely false impression that the things you're attempting to take from the Minmatar were ever yours to begin with.

What you're essentially saying is "Amarr are better because when we break our treaties, we try to hide it!"


Why should you continue to negotiate peace with the Minmatar?

Because they will burn you to ash if you do not.

Laugh if you want. I know other Amarrians have, but I've given this warning before and I've never seen anything to suggest that it isn't true. The Republic will not be slaves ever again. They will not bow to the Empire or to its God ever again. They know to which end that leads - abuse, murder, chemical compliance, cultural erasure, the theft of their scientific and technological accomplishments to serve the ego of their masters, ethnic cleansing and genocide. I have seen it - Minmatar will most probably die before they go back to that. They will most certainly kill. If the Republic feels that its destruction is inevitable at the hands of the Amarrians, even the most moderate voices will turn to acts of absolute last resort. Supercapitals will be rammed into stations. Cities will be bombarded from orbit. There will be sabotage, extortion, suicide bombers, assassinations, mass murders. Have you ever read the Tales of the Rebellion?

"Our people assaulted the ship en masse. Those with weapons fired at it, those without hurled whatever was at hand even though they knew such acts to be futile. This is how the last of the Amarrian ships fled our world."
- Unknown Author, "Tales of the Rebellion", Minmatar Archives

Minmatar will resist you, even if such actions cannot possibly avail them of victory. If the only alternative is slavery, every free Minmatar will become a terrorist. They will not go back. Every resource at their disposal - and trust me, if anyone is good at turning seemingly useless junk into remarkably efficient machines of war, it's the Minmatar - will be turned to making sure that if they are to lose the war, the Empire most certainly won't win. If the Republic is to die, trillions of Amarrians will most certainly join them in the grave. When Verin says that the Minmatar have shown remarkable restraint and patience with the Empire, this is what he means. What you have seen is only a jealous shadow of what the Minmatar are capable of.

Do you understand, Samira, that the Elder Fleet invasion is a result of Minmatar asking precisely the same question as you? "What can diplomacy benefit us?" If you want to know why Amarrians should continue pursuing diplomacy, it's because you really don't want more Minmatar ending up with the same answer the Elder Fleet did.


That much is true. But the consequences of the first Amarr-Minmatar war are still hanging over your heads today. It is a mistake you cannot unmake.

They are not sanctioned.

I have added the missing part for you. It could also read "I wish" in fact. If you want Navy dog tags for proof I can contract some to you.

Matter of fact is that the Navies give a damn about what you or I think. All kinds of shady business is going on behind the veil of happy CONCORD treaty land. The difference is that you are in denial as you apparently do not want to see what your Navy and holders are doing behind that veil while I can applaud every single raid into the Empire to free enslaved brothers and sisters. Should make you wonder if you are really fighting for the right cause.



"Though free I am bound by the chains of my brothers"
- Inscription from a stone in the Remembering

I don't think restraint is a trait which can really pertain to an invasion in any case.

Amarr Victor !!

Now the time has come for our decoration :)
