Intergalactic Summit

I, the Harbinger of Faith accept the tentative invitation graciously sent to thee by Cardinal Dex to attend this momentous occasion.

The achievements of Imperial Dreams on behalf of the Amarrian People, through these 12 years of conflict, upheaval, and turmoil have been met with keen resolve by these Amarr Loyal Capsuleers. I salute you.

I attend this event, not to further my cause, but to celebrate the Amarrian Spirit, and to add my voice to the chorus of Amarr Victor!!

While some my dispose of my attendance with rath... I remind thee that the recent ‘over-loyalty’ and un-Amarr-like militant response to my simple queries has raised a new series of questions like, “What power exists now, that has never been seen before to sway so many people of like mind to every whim, without question, with total blind obedience, to the Empress?”

However, this is an occasion not earned by the Sarum Administration, but by the hard effort of the Capsuleers that made Providence the special Null Security Region, unlike any other.

The Amarr People, and I are grateful, and again, I thank Cardinal Dex for thine invitation. Blessings be. Amarr Victor!

By his light and his will I too will stand with our Empress.

She has clearly shown she is many times Blessed by God.

While the Caldari have been on the brink of Civil War with only their Leaders disappearance preventing it. The Gallente have slaughtered hundreds of thousands and almost destroyed a planet in their greed to conquer Caldari Prime. The tribalists have had their leaders assassinated by their allies, and then invaded their only supporter and had that fleet destroyed showing their utter disarray.

In the mean time the Empire has grown in prosperity, surged ahead with Technological advances the other states struggle to catch up with. In Her magnanimity she has given the gifts of these technologies to all, even Her wayward children. She has shown she is beloved of God and in turn Beloved by her people.

It is we who shall stand and defend the weak and lost of new Eden. We will stand Eternal

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

And this, precisely, is the meaning of "Amarr Empire stands alone". It's fairly obvious that the loyalists will sign up for anything - but Jamyl Sarum failed to sway people to her side.

I'd honestly be surprised if anyone aside from loyalists would sign up for that.

Factions with, you know, a bite. A lot of bite for very little bark in comparison to the Empire.

So is this just a sign up list for those wishing to act as shock troops against the Drifters? We all know what one of their ships are capable of and we have all seen Tukoss' broadcast showing that there is a lot more than one of them. If your supplying one thousand ships they are most likely not capital class ships of any type, so basically your leading a subpar fleet to feed them more corpses, as well as sending your crews to meet your god. Let faith be your shield, the rest of the cluster will use your faith to keep our armor and shields unblemished. I'm not really trying to question your faith or logic or whatever, I just don't get exactly what it is at this point.

Not everyone loves a martyr, don't kid yourselves...

Sanctus Amarria pledges its undying loyalty to God and Empire.

Grandstanding a mighty fleet only to have it torn apart is a great way to defend your home. Taking the fight to your enemy when you can't exactly pinpoint where they are at any given time is the key to success. Right... All I can see is you planning to show your united front without a real plan. Its not my place to ask for details, its not my home and I'm not defending it. I just don't see how your going to accomplish anything by merely throwing bodies at your enemy. If anything it might cause more harm than good.

Because you are continuing to make the assumption that this is an invasion force. It is simply a show of force. Preparing for a potential war, and building morale and unity, these things are what is important here.

Until Her Imperial Majesty or Grand Admiral Sundarra commands an attack on the drifters, we are on standby.

You simpleton, the 100 capsuleer pilots will be back piloting ships the same day, in fact the same hour. Some capsuleers actually believe they are the entire population of New Eden, such simpletons.

In war if you want to hurt your enemy you destroy the assets that are the hardest for them to replace. 100 ships and the crew that does not make it to escape pods in time is an asset lost to the slavery cult, a capsuleer simply re-clones and comes back.

The universe does not revolve around we capsuleers, yes we are powerful players in this ongoing cycle of warfare, but we are a minute percentage of the population.

You go ahead and bask in the glory of killing ... or more accurately defined, sending an opponent to re-clone, if kill mails get you off, I'll fight for the freedom of the Matari People against their wicked oppressors in ways that inflict permanent damage.

If you can not fathom the difference between those choices it is a reflection of your limited capacity to comprehend fighting to gain laurels for yourself and fighting to win for a cause that is just.
