Intergalactic Summit

Grr Space Pope. Hat Space Pope!

Considering that his lecture is recorded and published as books for the consumption of capsuleers as the be all and end all regarding starship systems operation theory, I say, yes, he is really darn important.

Only heretic would challenge throne's divine right to rule. Singularity has done just that.

Why is Max Singularity Important?

Most people have forgotten about the Imperium forces since they were routed by the stronger MBC coalition last year. They havn't gone away though, and they remain just as much of a threat to the Amarr Empire as they were before the war, which caught fire on the heels of their **** of Providence. Providence leadership including Cardinal Dex and Lord Jaden Noah (successor to Lady Trisha D'vaney) managed to fend them off bravely with the help of the 24th Imperial Crusade.

CONCORD normally views The Imperium as a stabilizing force on the null sec regions they occupy, they are a threat, but they are not of the same DED level threat as the Guristas or Equilibrium of Mankind for example.

If we look at the trade reports coming out of Delve we can see that they mine nearly 150 billion ISK per capita more than Providence, and total mining operations in Delve equal more than every other region in the cluster - combined. They rival The Forge in production and imports. Upwell Consortium was kind enough to cooperate with us on intel regarding their citadel contracts - they have erected more Fortizar and Keepstar class citadels than any other corporation, alliance or coalition in the cluster.

The GSF and RSA together is an economic powerhouse. While some in our Empire praise The Mittani for converting to Max' version of our Amarrian religion, all I can see is heresy. Even so, it is known that one may never blame the mislead for being lead astray by a heretic - the blame always lies on the shoulders of the one propagating the false religion, especially if they are True Amarrian or Khanid in that order, especially if they are of the holder class. We have more responsibility towards God than any other people. None of this is The Mittani's fault.

The Imperium under The Mittani was lead against Providence, and I believe the blame lies squarely on Singularity's shoulders. His irrational insistence on retrieving Her Holiness Jamyl Sarum's body from Providence's southern capital was both delirious and lead to the death of innocent faithful in Providence.

Since the **** of Providence and the northern SOV war the Imperium has backed itself into a corner snugly in Delve, out of sight and out of mind. There is another angle to this and it is not insignificant at all - they have been decimating Blood Raider forces in Delve. Intelligence reports coming out of Delve report that the Blood Raiders are in a state of panic.

Some reports say that The Mittani is trying to make amends for the unpopular move against Providence and has ordered his top leadership to refuse support to the Blood Raiders - I've run covert ops missions into Delve and can verify this publically, Imperium forces are not reinforcing any of the Blood Raider strategic locations and they are sourcing the desirable Machariel battleships from Caldari State corporations specializing in cloned versions of the ships, not the raider installations.

What this means is that there is a window of hope here to introduce The Imperium to the real meaning of Amarr religion - we need to expose Max Singularity for what he is - a Sani Sabik heretic whose fluffy do-gooder sentiments towards the tribals is only a cover for his virulent heresy. This heresy influences one of the most powerful men in the cluster who could otherwise be introduced to the true religion were it not for this dangerous heretic whispering in his ear.

We're dealing with the anti-Empress signposts in Amarr, and while it would be the right thing to do, I doubt Singularity will call his lap-furrier Tenla to heel on this. God always exposes heretics eventually.

Amarr Victor! Glory to the eternal flame of Amarr!

You were always such an intelligent guy Ravana, I can't understand why you have so little faith. All this and you cannot see the hand of the Lord in your Empire's embarrassing loss? Your entire nation was forced to flee its lands and retreat to Delve, only weeks after invading Providence. Providence is holy, protected by the hand of the almighty himself. Your corp name is called Karmafleet, the ancient concept of moral causality. Ironic that you don't even seem to take that seriously. The Imperium will never take the Amarr Empire because they are a nation of children run by children, with a manchild at the top of all of it who has adopted a father figure in dubious politically charged Max Singularity.

One thing I'll say, at least they don't have a democracy. Everyone knows democracies lead to asymmetrical ships resembling tubers, household appliances or shoes.

Suggesting that you put your talents to better use in Khanid space was hardly treachery, and I believe even the Brutor value a good spy. Or are you more Society than Brutor? Do they not also value subterfuge? I would say so given their recent blundering attempt against her late majesty.

Either way, it was a necessary operation, and its necessity was made all the more clear when the unholy war against Providence was announced. I probably saved thousands of innocent lives, while you butchered hundreds of innocents - by your own admission. Or was that sullen drunken man I spoke to after the battle someone else - someone who glibly justified that inhumane war where you accidently killed three young children as "a clean war". I am truly sorry to learn you're so bitter about it. How irrational.

God is not a mere quantum field, Ravana, and you will pay for every immoral action you take - in this lifetime or the next, he is everywhere unseen by fools and the blind.

A)You're right, we're just as much of a threat to the Amarr Empire as we were before the war last year: none. Just the same as we're no threat to any of the Empires—we've no intention of attacking any of them at this time. There's no reason to do so.

B)The attack on Providence was roughly two years ago. Your claim that the MBC's efforts 'caught fire on the heels' of it means it must have had some extremely long heels. We came home from Providence and spent another six weeks being idiots and making our own people hate using Entosis links because we traded Pure Blind back and forth between GSF, SMA, TNT, and others, repeatedly. Really, we did more to lose the war then—before it started—than anyone else did to beat us.



The Imperium engaged in combat exercises in Providence in order to test tactics and uses of the then-new Entosis shielding. Providence was selected because we expected their basic model—investment in significant orbital infrastructure, and significant industrial/harvesting activities supporting the region's combat-capability—to be the direction New Eden would move in in the wake of the Entosis shielding becoming widespread. It's the same basic model we'd adopted years earlier. That prediction's been more or less born out.

Each alliance experimented with different methods of attack in order to have as many different examples to evaluate as possible. We planned for a campaign lasting one week We went home after a campaign of one week. At no point were we planning to stay. Provibloc fought like champs, but don't overplay that as 'fending us off'. There was never any real assault in force. It was a learning exercise, nothing more, and Provibloc benefited as much as we did.



You are an absolute idiot.

There is no attempt to 'make amends'. There has been no order to 'refuse support to the Blood Raiders'. There never needed to be any such order. They, like the Guristas in the north, have the misfortune of thinking they can fly freely in our space. And so, like the Guristas, they are dying in droves. Also, Machariels are produced by the Angel Cartel, not the Blood Raiders. The ship you're thinking of is the Bhaalgorn, and we're primarily sourcing the few we use (as well as our Ashimmus) from recovered technical data. Those poor Blood Raiders. Their older facilities are so fragile sometimes.

Max has no influence over our strategic decisions, and has never had any. He's a nice guy, and a lot of us like him on a personal level, but that's pretty much it. Your need to ascribe everything to religious idiocy is the desperate conjecture of someone who has no way of understanding the greater cluster in which she lives.

Yes, it was. Of course I can see that you're feeling betrayed, and I know you value loyalty Ravana. So if it helps, it was complete chance that I ended up as your neighbor and unintentional. Usually we send all of the new capsuleers out to do service in the military, especially in dangerous operations.

We had a shortage of new capsuleers and I volunteered to investigate your corporation as a possible Equilibrium of Mankind cell. mention I this publicly so you can know it to be true. Any Ministry of Internal Order affiliate could verify it for you, as it is declassified information.

They turned out to be incompetent idiots who had nothing to do with the EOM leadership.

Whatever you are trying to do to "find yourself" or solutions for your people, in the Imperium, it's pretty clear that their leadership publicly advocates using women and children as target practice to test their weapons. That has always been an atrocity in the Amarr Empire no matter what their status was - slave or free.

I'm not sure what kind of utopia you think you're contributing to, but the society was wrong to sign off on your stint with the Imperium, like most of your decisions it was rash, reckless and emotionally motivated.

I am very sure the Imperium isn't affiliated with the Amarr Empire, and that none of the nullsec entities except the CVA are affiliated with any of the Big Four. If you are going to make claims like that, show us some evidence.

A)None of the stations were endangered. We're not talking about Starbases, and Upwell structures weren't available yet. There was absolutely no reason for anyone to feel like non-combatants needed to evacuate. Heck, I'll even edit this to add in the point that we told them we weren't staying. Nobody had any illusions that we intended to hold Providence. Any stations that were captured would be recovered as soon as we left. So why the hel would anyone even bother evacuating?

B)No baseliner ships were targeted. No non-combatant baseliner ships could be targeted. So anyone evacuating was in no danger. I don't recall any freighters or jump freighters undocking during that campaign, either—no need for it—so the odds of people stowing away in cargo on a JF to 'escape' a situation that threatened none of their lives are... small. If non-combatants were attempting some idiotic and unnecessary evacuation in a capsuleer-piloted combat vessel, that is not our fault, and not our problem.



Since you've identified the vessel as a capsuleer's ship, that capsuleer, and no other, bears the responsibility for undocking in an active war zone with civilians on board. After all, are you seriously advocating we could roll a fleet into Provi unchallenged by saying 'we've got civilians on all our ships'?



No more than any other act of warfare does. Entosis warfare does not endanger the structural stability of any stations. What few civilians are employed on TCUs and IHUBs have two full days to evacuate in an orderly fashion, and capsuleers cannot target baseliner non-combat vessels. Attempting to paint it as our atrocity when some idiot Provibloc capsuleer ignores the fact that any baseliner who needs to evacuate can do so safely and puts them onto a ship that can be targeted is... let's be nice and call it disingenuous.
