Intergalactic Summit

That would have been the case had PFR not come into a Diplomacy channel demanding a fight. That might have happened had PFR not fired upon Providence owned infrastructure. That might have happened had PFR not been on the Kill On Sight list for hostile actions. The fact remains PFR chose to bring that freighter with full intent, with a hostile aggressor fleet. For all CVA could tell, maybe it was transporting Sovereignty Blockade Units for lack of blockade runners?

Either way the pilots of the PFR purchased slaves, and held them in a freighter knowingly into territory that has declared their organisation hostile. They have no legal right under Amarr law to own or purchase said slaves, and basic human decency says you don't then ship those innocents out into harms way knowingly.

It's not CVA's responsibility to check they're not harming innocents when their damned region is being attacked left right and center and PFR went about this act with malicious intent to both the Providence armed forces and the innocent souls within that freighter. Any attempt to paint this otherwise is spin. I will pray for the souls of those lost lives.

Yes, freighters are deloyed for outpost construction, however this freighter was deployed into CVA territory, not PFR territory. It was there as my superior Lt Kernher stated as a way of attempting to discredit CVA. No one cargo scans freighters when they're in a hostile organisation, accompanied by a hostile aggressor fleet.

You are wrong Ms Farel. Should CVA kindly ask every fleet thats shooting its structures what their intent is and what their ships are carrying? I'm not sure if you have some bias involved here but as I have stated numerous times PFR deliberately took that freighter out to die and CVA did the right thing by attacking the hostile fleet. If PFR declared their intentions and the contents of that freighter first, before shooting structures and forcing a rapid defence, investigations could have been carried out. I'd like to see anyone conduct a thorough cargo scan and investigation of intent when they're being shot at.

Maybe. From what I've understood so far, assuming the freighter was present as part of some kind of sane, strategic plan on the part of PFR was in fact a courtesy.

Ms Kerhner,

You are telling me nothing new, really... I have been Providence Holder in the past, and had we made such a blunder, we would have made apologies and promises to do better next time, would have striven harder to better results, and not hidden behind our NRDS policy, which was a source of pride, but also humilty.

I have always admired CVA for what it stood for and what it taught me. I also can recognize that CVA sometimes lacks a bit in the field of diplomacy (for probably perfectly legitimate reasons, but they still remain excuses), and have always suffered from diplomatic cases that badly ended due to a certain inability to admit faults.




Ah, sorry to inquire, but... Who said it was sane or strategic...?

Killing on sight a ship flown by a Kill-On-Sight alliance. Apparently it is a blunder to enforce border controls.

I don't understand the sort of backwards moralizing involved in blaming law enforcement for carrying out the law instead of the criminal for breaking it.

Indeed. It is important that his call is heard. It is of utmost strategic importance that all supporters of the usurper Sarum be present and accounted for, so that they may be wiped out without a chance for their perfidious cause to ever return.

Me? I wasn't there, Mr. Iyammarrok.

As for your points, the freighter was in a fleet of carriers that were attacking CVA structures. So it was not simply a lone freighter. It was a KOS freighter, in a KOS fleet, that was actively attacking CVA outposts.

But of course, continue to blame CVA, just because they're Amarr. The usual blaming law enforcement instead of the criminal.

I believe the many topics within this comms thread is ample ammunition to rise up together against heathens that would dare despoil the wealth and majesty that Amarrians have built and developed in Providence all for God's Glory, and all for the Empires mandate of reclaiming lost souls to God.

Lord Vaari has for many years stood devoted to the cause of Amarr and his fervency is unquestioned.

It is an exemplar to us all, that we might focus on that which threatens the cause of Amarr (Criminal factions invading Providence, and the unknown yet ever impending threat of the Drifters).

Good and faithful Amarrians, do not ask for fears to be removed; ask for courage equal to the fears. Tell your ship's crews, and those that serve you planetside, as well as any holy slaves under your care. Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them.

God honors the faithful, as He so graciously demonstrated at the invasion of the Drifter Armada.

We did not cower. We did not back away. We obeyed, and defended God's domain, and emerged victorious.

May God guide our holy lasers thusly, and give us wisdom and resolve in the coming days, Amen.

Amen, your Eminence.

The hurusiyyad will commit its meagre resources to bulwark the eastern border regions of the Empire, either through the donation of support vessels or transportation of supplies to supplant what is moved to the south. Our pickets will be spurred withal to press the defense of the home worlds.
