Intergalactic Summit

The conclave of the Bishopric of Amarr Capsuleers hereby issues this admonishment to faithful capsuleers regarding the enslavement of other capsuleers:

Slavery is a method to bring the recalcitrant to the Light of God and Righteousness. In all cases the holder must exercise positive control over their servant in all parts of their life to ensure that there is no recidivism. However, this is not feasible with capsuleers, as they have too many tools and abilities to escape positive control, even with drastic measures taken by holders.

Capsuleers represent the top one percent of the population in terms of education and intellectual potential. It is not necessary for any willful capsuleer converts to the Faith to be subjected to slavery. They are all capable of making informed decisions and converting with reasoned education and guidance from the clergy and faithful laypersons. A forced conversion is simply impossible with capsuleers.

Furthermore, the enslavement of capsuleers is illegal under both Imperial law as set forth in 301 Heideran VII l. 48, “no independant capsuleer shall be subjected to enslavement for purposes of reclaiming or penal punishment” and the corresponding CONCORD treaties and law. While capsuleers frequently operate with informal agreements and contracts that are between themselves, not under the purview of any Imperial agency, the conclave admonishes the Faithful to adhere to Imperial law, even in their informal agreements. The laws of our Empire are written and decreed by men and women much wiser than us and with Divine inspiration. Only the foolish or heretical would think they know better.

Signed,
Bishop Alizebeth Amalath
Cardinal Kahar Dex
Lady Abbess Benedicta Secheh
Archbishop Abraxas
Father Honorius Vitellius

Maybe you might instruct the members of PIE in these laws, as they've been seen innumerable times making (admittedly futile, wheedling, desperate, pathetic, laughable) demands that their opponents (usually ones that are soundly beating them) submit to slavery.

Sounds like you might have some hands-on experience in the area.

Not really, no. I think it's more an area of interest to elderly Amarrian men suffering from erectile dysfunction.

That and I can get laid without the necessities of religious prostitution.

The theological and social implications of the capsuleer and his or her unprecedented capabilities have long needed clarification (and still require it). This message seeks to address one particular issue of importance in a way that retains conformity with the Faith and the goals of its traditions. As always, the faithful have no fear of sincere discussion regarding the rationale behind our beliefs.

Evidently my fantastic brand of terrible sarcasm is lost on you.

Good, good. I woke up to such a nice piece of news.

Now we only need to replace "capsuleer" with "baseliner".

Is that Scripture, or imperial edict ? If the latter, is it still endorsed by the current throne ?

It is feasible through mind controlling implants, for example...

Also yes, in Amarr culture it matters as much as water matters to life.

Oh, there's always ways to do anything but I suspect you won't find many capsuleers without the prerequisite paranoia levels to have taken... measures.
