Intergalactic Summit

I beg to differ. At the time of first contact with the Amarrians the Tribes had long since ceased fighting against each other and were enjoying an unprecedented era of global cooperation, peace and prosperity. We were a technologically advanced spacefaring people who had traveled to and settled several planets within the Pator system. While it's true that the Amarr possessed superior technology, which helped them conquer the Minmatar Empire, it's false to state that you brought technology to us. As for "liberation"... well, if you see enslaving, forced cultural conversion, mass murder, terrorism and stunting our civilization's growth for nearly a thousand years as "liberation", then we have vastly differing understandings of the meaning of that word.

You are correct in that the Amarr did give us a purpose; to forever despise them for what they did to us and cause many of us to seek revenge.



Oh really? But aren't you subservient to your deity and what Kernher called "your betters", the True Amarr? I can understand your bowing before your deity but, to do so for another man? I also wonder what your church's orthodoxy would think of you seeking peace through Adakul rather than prayer? Sounds a bit heretical to me but, I admit that I'm far from an expert on your religion.



I agree with you that there is indeed far too much violence and needless loss of life that stems from hate. I fail to see how the Amarrians can claim to extend peace through waging never ending war against those who don't wish to embrace their religion, culture and traditions. That's the truth that I see. Whether it was fighting the Ni-Kunni on Athra or the Jove at Vak'Atioth I see a people incapable of accepting, much less embracing, differing world views.

As much as I might like to ignore the past it's simply not possible to overlook the damage done to us by the invasion and occupation of our worlds, especially in light of the fact that your government's/religion's stated goal is to one day return and enslave us again.




I'm not so simplistic to believe that the universe is binary. I thank you for your wishes and for responding to my questions. I hope that at some point there will be accommodation and understanding between our people

Adakul is a spiritual philosophy and in no way conflicts with the Scriptures. It's widely known of and a few Amarrian monasteries have incorporated Adakul practices into their traditions.

The church orthodoxy has no problems with it.

Remind me again: who attacked the Federation with dreadnoughts because of a minor extradition dispute?

Stones, glasshouses etc.

The True Amarr and Khanid joined to defeat a powerful enemy that they both had an ongoing dispute with.

While I'm at it, the Udorians were slavers. In many ways, slavery in the Amarr Empire is a product of Udorian culture and its integration into True Amarr and Khanid social systems. Don't be too mad with them though. A far few number of Khanid warlords practiced scorched earth warfare, grabbing up attractive men and woman, taking everything of value, and setting cities ablaze. No slavery there!

It's important to remember that traditional Athram culture is a product of three different races, even if one appears to have been wholly consumed in the process.

Thank you.

I have often believed that if you want to understand a people, you should closely examine their roots.

Two wrongs certainly don't make a right, Ms. Rella.

However, your words are certainly true in the sense that one wrong can be significantly more grievous than another.

If you're referring to the incursion by the Kador fleet, you may recall that Lord Kador was reprimanded for his actions. The Republic is apparently unwilling to even apologise for its actions



There was a dispute, and it was started by the Udorians.



I don't hear too many objections from the Ni-Kunni who are alive today.



And look at what "freedom" has brought those Matari who rebelled.

I wonder, when people are killed is it still just criminal trespassing?

With so many opposed to the action how did the heathens fill a fleet?
