Intergalactic Summit

The capsuleer known as Nauplius has made quite the name for himself in recent times, with numerous incidents, such as the erection of Demon-Summoning Temples, and other structures, which numerous Amarr-Empire aligned organisations have taken offence at, and the subsequent battles and destruction frequently make news on the IGS as a result.

But who really is Nauplius ? What is his plan ?

Recently, Gutter Press was contacted by a Ni-Kunni capsuleer, who claimed that Nauplius was either secretly, or openly, the capsuleer alter-ego of none other than Garkeh Khanid, King Khanid II himself !

Astounding !

The Ni-Kunni pilot laid out a vast array of information and opinions to back up this sensational claim, including such things as an apparent change in attitudes expressed by Nauplius, following the coronation of Empress Catiz 1, and the subsequent participation by Garkeh Khanid in the Shathol'Syn ritual. The theory goes that the Nauplius ego is now under the control of Farokh Khanid, King Khanid III and is subtly different than previously.

Confusing !

The objective of the "Nauplius Experiment" was supposedly a scheme by King Khanid to test Imperial-loyal capsuleer organisations readiness and resolve when confronted by a person who would be anathema to them. It would also serve to distract attention away from the Kingdom's own secret military research programs.

Deception !

Gutter Press agents had previously interviewed Nauplius to gain insights into his personality, where he revealed that his conversion occurred after contact with street preachers on the planet Danera V, the street preachers being zealous types outside any organised church, who had reached their own personal revelations. This kind of unorganised preaching is common throughout the Khanid Kingdom, which lay outside the oversight of the Theology Council for many centuries.

Unorthodoxy !

Gutter Press agents contacted several capsuleers to comment on the suggestion that Nauplius is actually King Khanid, and received a variety of responses.
"That makes a perverse kind of sense, now that I think about it", said a Gallente capsuleer.
"I... err... I have places to be. Excuse me." said an Amarr capsuleer.
"Do I look like I was born yesterday ?" asked a day-old clone of a Caldari capsuleer.
"Bro. That's more wack than Ottom's spiel", said a Minmatar capsuleer.

Disbelief !

The evidence amassed so far by Gutter Press was described as "inconclusive", by a Hedion University Professor of Cryptopsychology.


Whatever the truth is, Gutter Press will continue bringing it to light.

Gutter Press. The News you didn't know you needed.

And this is why the Amarr Empire the Khanid must be destroyed....

Fake news!

Or perhaps in some others' eyes, alternate facts.

Please don't hurt anyone. That sounds rude.

I guess some maybe.....

I deny being King Khanid II and request the name of the Ni-Kunni informant.

Consider this —
— Has King Khanid introduced ritual sacrifice in the Kingdom?
— Has he celebrated the Blood Liturgy?
— Did he perform any demon banishing rites when unbound demons rampaged throughout his Kingdom some time back?

The answer is no. He did not. But I would have done those things.

Small minds thinking their throwing around their small thoughts about small things has any real bearing on the good works of Nauplius.

It is just such a pity that saying shame on you will have nought effect, except that it further proves the necessity of what he does toward the great work. The few must be elevated and the many must serve this cause.

If this thread was even remotely true, that would only explain why Khanid III is their new heir.

It's not. This article is typical of the extremely poor quality Amarrian coverage provided by gutter press. Shirley seems obsessed with publishing the opinions of the most backward people she can find. Articles about demons hiding under beds, and conspiricies about a dead man who shares no qualities with a living capsuleer who was active for years before the original man's death? Absolute garbage.

Gutter press owes us better. Otherwise they prove that the only good news, is Certified news.

As for Napkins being a holder or not, that's a separate debate. He has slaves, any capsuleer can. I hardly think a buy order warrants a title.

Ummmm...
No.

He might be an agent of King Khanid though - on the same level of probability as Diana Kim being a Gallente propaganda plant.

Not very likely.

And, he must be shot on sight in any case - to prove one's loyalty, to free at least some of his slaves, to get a killmail or for whatever other reason a capsuleer might have. Whoever or whatever he is, it changes little in modus operandi.

Just pew the Butcher.
