Intergalactic Summit

The apologists who first spun this yarn of mutual destruction by way of the abolition of slavery are merely wrong. The Republic is resilient. If the slavery cult collapses into chaos, so be it, and quite well deserved.

There is simply no economic model that anyone can point to or quote that supports the ridiculous notion that the Republic could not support the influx of skilled people. It is simply a tale told to scare the naive into being afraid of change.

Lets look at how things that are confounded by the facts are spun to mean something else exactly the opposite.

Fact: Barbarians with advanced weapons attack without warning and then enslave a peaceful people for centuries.
Spin: Today we call the barbarians civilized and pretend the advanced peaceful space faring people they enslaved are primitive warmongers because they still yearn for the freedom all the rest of the New Eden Cluster enjoys.

The military prowess of the current Republic is considered not capable of waging successful war against the slavery cult.

Fact: In recent history Matari forces have liberated and successfully held planets that had been held for centuries by the barbarian slavery cultists.
Spin: Well the slavery cultists didn't want those planets anymore anyway and the Elder Fleet was all but crushed by the one shot wonder weapon that has never seen action again.

The barbarian slavery cultists are flying on past laurels, in every major engagement in recent history they have been clearly beaten and taken either major losses in ships or losses in territory or both.

Without the state to support them they fear the wrath of the Matari.

The once powerful barbarian slavery cultists are in their twilight, with the loss of territory, prestige, and influence increasing they even had their so called divine leader assassinated, while piloting their most powerful class of warship, in front of their impotent navy that is stuffed full of too many admirals and lords and not enough competent fighters.

They talk a good game when the people they face are peaceful or drug addicted slaves, but give those people weapons to fight back with and the soft weak lazy nature of the holders, a class to afraid to work for themselves, takes over and the incompetence that is the result of their centuries on inbreeding comes to the fore. They might have been invading barbarian warriors in the past, but today they are just the watered down weak willed garrison inbred drooling descendants that have never reclaimed anything beyond the deposit from empty beverage containers. They are high in numbers and arrogance, but low in skill and effectiveness.

Have you completely forgotten what happened that time the Amarr Empire emancipated all the 9th generation slaves?

In case you need a refresher, a large proportion of them went to the Republic and triggered an ideological and socio-economical clusterfrak. The Republic was not prepared for such an incursion. No infrastructure and programmes were in place to process all these newly emancipated Matari, many of whom still carried the ideologies of their former homes and many of whom were retching under the effects of the Vitoxin which the Republic had no answer for (especially considering that for some reason all that Insorum used during the Elder War just went 'poof'). They crossed the border into a fervently anti-Amarr swath of territory which still had a still-being-addressed employment issue.

Last thing the Republic needs is another one of these mass emancipation, especially now that the Republic is still recovering from that stunt and is still in the process of putting down the policies and infrastructure needed to pursue prosperity.

Something tells me that your fleet will be utterly useless should such an event occur a second time. Also, it's doubtful the drifters will attempt the same trick twice.

If these Drifters do show up and Mr Ronin decides to have a go shooting them, well.. It'd be rude of me to stop him.

Buzz off little bee, go troll someone else for the next year. Your dullness is pitiful. You are dismissed and soon blocked if you persist. Now begone with your childish annoyance!

So that means he hasn't scouted anything.

On that subject though, it would be pretty awesome if someone could do some real scouting of the type that Ronin is fantasizing about. Although I can't imagine that the Drifters would be that obtuse about a large scale movement such as this. But I think if you had a fleet with real covert scouting experience, they may actually learn some real information.

I have to believe he's not the utter buffoon he presents himself to be. Though obviously, whatever Drifter movements may have been seen in Anoikis had nothing to do with the Coronation, he knew enough to know that reporting those movements would get reactions.

Eh, guess you win, Tyrel.

Maybe they just like showing off their arm muscles.

Why are you fashion-policing them ? Why do you oppress them so ? Who gave you the right to body-shame them ?

My deep heart felt thanks to the pilots and crews of the 927 Combat Roam.

Job well done!

Today we started on the road to mapping the connection patterns of the unidentified wormholes Drifters use to access all parts of the New Eden Cluster. When the first wormhole collapsed behind us we had no way to know where or even when the next opening would occur.

That is why Drake Ashigaru Alliance was/is willing to pay for all the ships put into harms way on our Combat Roams. Over the next few months we hope to map the locations and timing patterns of the unidentified wormholes, and the numbers and strength of the Drifter forces using them.

Again to the intrepid capsuleer pilots and their fearless crews who participated in the 927 Combat Roam, a good number of whom are still deep in Drifter Anoikis, well done!

To anyone else reading this, stay tuned.
