A Hamrite Journey (formerly: Amarr for the Glory of God)

Edit: The name change of this thread reflects a bit of the changes that have taken place inside the heart of one man whose goal it has been to follow the heart and ways of the late Arzad Hamri.

Today I walked into Choonka’s Diner with 40 Republic insignia dog tags jingling around my belt, proud of the work I am doing in faithfulness to my God and Empress. There I sat with faithful brothers as we ate and drank and celebrated the righteousness of our cause and the assurance of just motives that we carry into every battle, conflict, and mission.

I tire of all the unfaithful talk that is common these days. I tire of traitors, of heretics, of the irreligious. Amarr is the greatest of all the Empires and the only true light of God in New Eden. For those who think we will fade or compromise or forget the true calling to bring in all God’s Wayward Ones, think again. The call to reclaim this universe is still as fresh as the day it was first given.

Let all the faithful remember this and hold true in the face of all the blasphemies that are hurled at you. Let not your hearts fade my brothers and sisters.

Implying there is a "God", of course.

And this is why I simply love blasphemy, because it just isn't any fun unless someone is chastising you for it.

There's this Caldari pilot, what's her name.. Diana Kim. You two should meet up some time.

One day, we'll encounter an empire bigger than all of New Eden combined, also claiming to be the chosen people of God.

You'll be ****** then.

let's see then.
Minmatar ... Republic.
Gallente ... Federation.
Caldrari ... State.
Jovian ... Directorate.
Amarr...

By Jove you're right... the Amarr ARE the largest 'Empire' ......

Considering that they are the only ones to term themselves as such, that's not overly difficult. One man, living in a repurposed asteroid could be the largest Hegemony or any other term for a people, if he chose a title no-one else was, at that time, using.

Still... time and cleansing fire will fix ALL your problems.

Empire is commonly used as term for all five of the quote unquote great empires of New Eden.

And, factually, they are the largest of those, in terms of size and population.

Don't let your hatred outweigh your objectivity.

No, I take pride in defending our children, women, homes, households, held ones, and a way of life from those who would seek to destroy. And when I kill those who refuse to be reclaimed, that must be. Yes I am proud of those I work for in particular. The Theology Council has been the most upstanding employer in my short time as a pilot. I am proud to serve them and to be identified with the 24th IC.

No one is trying to destroy anything. Actually you're the empire which means a state with expansionist behaviour. Provided you release all the people you cruelly enslaved and stop trying to conquer and enslave more, you will be left alone with your backwards children, women, homes and culture.

You should try working for MIO. While they have absolutely no sense of humour, they pay well and will put you to work against targets that deserve your attention such as Nation and the Raiders. This endless stalemate war is a drain on resources and human life, there is no glory to be found in its existence or participation.

When your gut instincts tell you something is wrong, trust them. When your heart tells you something is right, ignore it, check with your brain first. Accept nothing, challenge everything.

So much zeal, so much fervour...

It's kind of cute, but this kind of line is why large amounts of New Eden is quite happy casting us as the bad guys. Patriotism is one thing. I would happily call myself a supporter of Kingdom and Empire alike. But this reclamation nonsense is anachronistic and does nothing to improve relations. Would it really be so hard for us all to just get along?

Wait, of course it would. Let me try again - does it not occur to people that spreading the word of God and salvation to all mankind really doesn't work if you're doing it with a megapulse laser? We managed it in the past by beating the crap out of civilisations until the only thing left was ours, and then we assimilated what was left.

Not terribly enlightened, and these days the last people we tried it on are mounting enough artillery to match us shot for shot.

Call me liberal, call me unfaithful - hell, call me a heretic, it wouldn't be the first time - but it wins us no allies and certainly doesn't do anything to secure our future.

And, God forbid, I find myself exactly aligned with Mr Marellus. There are far better ways to defend what is ours. Imagine that, Cael: us agreeing to a 't'!

Do not forget not to let your mind fade too.

O.K. "Lips" For starters take a look at the many coprporations dedicated to the destruction of Amarr. Second, here are a couple pilots who hate Amarr so much that they nick named themselves kill amarr and kill amarrians.

You and I both know that there are plenty who wish to do a whole lot of destroying.

Lol

I think that particular clone might be allergic to lipgloss. Or Matari ass. I'd get a refund.

HAHAHA, you make me laugh. It`s also interesting to see you resorting to nicknames... I'm sure it means something.

You enslave an entire race and expect no retribution? After the initial exaltation brought by freedom and the wish for vengeance, I`m pretty sure the Minmatar and everyone else would be quite happy to resume their own lives in peace (With you).

It`s just that your zealotry and slavery is a too big menace to reasonable civilizations and thus requires some preemptive offense. Maybe when you settle down as the "Amarr Kingdom" and limit slavery to your own kind, you will be worth of being left alone.

Hey, what's the difference between a Minmatar serf and a Caldari vassal? Give up? Nothing!

What needs preemptive offense is your unbridled hedonism and material aid to terrorists. Fix the moral bankruptcy in your own Federation before casting stones at the Empire.
