Intergalactic Summit

I am by blood Ancient Amarrian. I don't have to meet an Amarr. I just look in the mirror.

I use Artillary and autocannons to disable ships before I board them. The cleanest weapons on the market unless I want to cut through their shielding with a knife. If an Armegeddon doesn't have enough warp core shielding to defend against slugs then it is a degraded core from whence last I flew inside Amarr bricks and elevated to Minmatar designs.

As a great pilot once said. "Faster movings better!"

I have never heard of a True Amarr being the grease monkey in their own warship.

The Amarr Empire is one of the biggest exporters, if not *the* biggest exporter, of liquor. You can find their wine and their beer everywhere in the cluster, matched by, if not outright surpassing, the Gallente brews.

Eh, wandering bosons in warp shouldn't be any worse than being thrown around in a rocking sense-deprivation chamber.

Minmatar...port?

You serious mate? Our beer isn't that good and our best brew is quite close to being cleaning alcohol with hops and wheat flavour in it.

If you talk Minmatar drinks you talk coffee. Our coffee is the stuff of the divines!

You would call me crazy but you emulate God unsuccessfully by enslaving others. Talk about totally insane.

Well, thank the automation engineers for coming up with that system that shuts down all attempts to activate a warp drive whenever a leak in the collider tubes are detected. Can't allow the generation of any sort of vacuum environment whenever there's a boson leak.



I spend most of my off hours drinking with my crew and support staff whenever I'm not tinkering with anything. I am Matari. Almost all of my crew and support staff are Matari. Our dining habits are very distinctively Matari, with song and dance and the occasional boasting.

I know exactly what our port tastes like. It's not that good. 40 percent ethanol, prime ingredients being oats or wheat with some hops added. Also yeast. Sometimes something else entirely, as long as it ferments. Some of our liquor could even have alcohol content as high as 70 percent, depending on how it's made.

We drink the stuff to knock ourselves out. We also use the stuff to clean wounds and to clean our equipment. The ones with the highest alcohol content is also sometimes used to clean engine parts, if no other detergent is available. You will be surprised how well those dissolve stains.

And tales of Slaver Hounds? None of us Matari like talking about Slaver Hounds other than as cautionary tales. Remember that throughout our pre-rebellion history we had been blighted by the damned things. Used to be that escaped slaves had Slaver Hounds pouncing on them from way high up (branches and everything. They are very agile climbers. Great vertical maneuverability) and got their throats ripped out. Some of the more brutal slave-owners will even make arenas where the slaves were pitted against Slaver Hounds (spoiler alert: the Slaver Hounds always win). How about that part where the slaves were released into great plains en-masse once a month so that they will be hunted down by Slaver Hounds for sport?

No, none of us like Slaver Hounds much. We do not enjoy talking about Slaver Hounds except as fables or to share information about the roving trajectory of wild Slaver Hound packs.

Slavery IS a thing of the past everywhere there are actual Minmatar clans and tribes taking residence. The Amarr Empire are in the habit of replacing the culture of the enslaved races with their own.

You *can't* rehabilitate Slaver Hounds. They are, by instinct, highly vicious predators. You have to tame then, the way the Amarr did, to get any use out of them beyond losing all your limbs. The Amarr have spent many generations trying to tame them and breed out the species's highly aggressive instincts, with some degree of success. For one they no longer go after just about anyone and can be ordered to de-aggress, sit and roll-over. Still, that predatory instinct hasn't been breed out entirely and many an Amarr hound-tamer still get mauled from time to time.

Why they even keep Slaver Hounds around children is beyond me.

Warp core drives are developed NOT in low sec. The place is too unstable, too vulnerable to pirate raids, to encourage any investment in high tech industry in those locations. What manufacturing industry that occurs at all take place in the security of space station where there are heavily armed capsuleers to protect their investments. You want warp core development Matari-side? Boundless Creation in the core worlds is where it's at. That or Thukker magic in the Great Wildlands.

Seriously. Thukkers man. Those guys are amazing.

Ottom was wrong when he flew with FU2 all those years ago, and he's still wrong now.
