Many of you peasant may have heard of Providence region, yeat you avoid it for no reason. This will be official guide to the Providence region.

Our beloved region, the Providence is open territory to all decent folk from all cults and religions as long they keep their heresy secret.

Our mighty Providence can support independent corporations, who seeks to hunt and mine with ease. Sovereign corporations are inspired with God, and there is no doubt you cannot negotiate conditions sufficent to your corp.

Our God fearing organizations make sure you will kneel before the allmighty God! The Church of Providence is ever vigiland, and the Defensores Fidei knows no rest when it comes to the purity of faith and upholding it.

Is your corporation much more oriotented in industry than warfaring? Providence is for you! Remember this word "Imperial Pharmacy invited us" after that, there is no reason your to be interrupted.

Remember to pay tithies to the Church of Providence.

Fear the God and honor the Empress!

Hail Lord Vaari,

Of course you are correct about being ever vigilant when it comes to upholding the faith in God Almighty.
Having said this, there are many "cults" that are not wanted and are KOS to CVA. So inviting all "Cults and Religion’s"
to providence might not be a great idea for those that come to our fair Providence and expect to find open arms.

I look forward as always, to working with anyone who shares our values, and love of God and Empire. Please be aware
that we never ask for a tithe, we only ask that citizens of Providence help defend her when the time comes as well as that they conduct themselves with decor and decency while interacting with the residents and citizens of the area.
If anyone has a question to what is or is not allowed in the area, do not hesitate to contact me or any CVA diplomat in the cva-diplo channel.

VAARI! We missed you so much! Big smile

That almost makes it sound as though you consider heresy to be fine as long it happens behind closed doors.

Pictures, video, witness something or it didn't happen.

Also its a very easy going spirit you have there with liberty and freedom. What happened to innocent until proven guilty or are you willing to set aside your 'beliefs' in the same way your accusing her Ladyship?

Slander, smear propaganda and hypocrisy all in a neat little post my dear Andreus for all to see. What great role model you set for the Federation and the Republic!

There are a very large number of people - some of them Amarrian capsuleers - who saw her die in a pod. Now she's alive again. She's a clone. It's not rocket science.

I find it hard to believe that a puppet of the Amarrian state is allowing those they deem heretics safe passage.

The Theology Council decided that there was no heresy, and the Privy Council agreed with them.

You're right about one thing though - it's not rocket science you should look to for an explanation. Try theology instead.

*Kithrus bursts out laughing*

That's all you have? Name calling and poor excuse for what you call 'behind close doors'? I'm quite sure her return was quite public.

Sweet!

Whenever I go to Provi I will now say you invited me, Vaari. I know I will be treated with great respect and hospitality.

Is the friendly invitation also for members of the Minmatar Militia? Well, it might be that some of us shoot a slaver if they see one, but that should not be a problem, isn't it? No slavers in Providence any more I presume? They all did came to make up their mind about this minor issue? Just friendly miners and patrollers of belts? Sounds real easy for me.

Or is that just propaganda?

The Matari and Gallentean malitia are not welcome in providence as CVA treats it as Amarrian high sec. that said however CVA only prerogative is to make providence have all the benefits of high sec while people who wish to make money off the space are welcome to do so. we are there to police the space where we can. Our objective is this and only this, slaving of any kind is not in our mandate however....

Providence though by extension of the Amarr loyalists is defacto Amarr Empire space it is not official Amarr space so slaving outside of the Empire is prohibited.

So no it is not propaganda and if you see anyone conducting slaving in Providence I'll will personal see to it their head is on a platter.

In the Providence according to Vaari, yes, that would seem so to be the case. So long as you keep it a secret. Just make sure to pay your tithe.

Fortunately for everyone but him he has no authority outside of his own capsule, though.

I have all the authority I need, for I am Lord Vaari! Im noble earl of Sosan VII, founder and despot of the Imperial Pharmacy, skilled industrialist, proggressive socialist, defender of faith, overseer of virtues, self proclaimed prophet, golden mountain, world's most beloved hero, archbishop of the Church of Providence and humble servant of her majesty.

Providence has housed weird cultist for years, some have been heretics openly, and I still cannot remember very many cases where they were prosecuted as it would be proper. My invitation to the people is actually very strict, for it contains the demand to keep their misguided thoughts secret.

Fear the God and honor the Empress!

I really don't see the point of arguing over what is ultimately a non issue. Providence being NRDS should pretty much be self explanatory. What do you suppose Gall and Min militias are, red or blue?

And as for heresy in this day and age, more important than one's personal beliefs are his actions. And actions, not beliefs should dictate whether or not you're blue or should be awarded a spot on any Providence alliance holders' KOS. Just saying...

Be wary, though, for CVA is indiscriminate and unforgiving. If a small fleet from a corporation commits even a single act of violence in the region, a corporation of hundreds can find itself flagged "kill on sight" for months, resulting in new recruits finding themselves flagged hostile in a case of guilt by association. I have seen this happen to friends who had little recourse but to vacate Providence because they were recruited into a corp which CVA deemed "unacceptable" according to their self-appointed laws.

But yes, if you want to live under the thumb of an oppressive regime which levels heavy fines for the crime of daring to speak in local, or naming your ship something which they have deemed inappropriate, or any of the myriad other abusrdities for which CVA pet alliances and their members might be fined, go ahead and live in Providence.

I would suggest that it is not that people fear Providence, but that they see it for what it is: an area more restrictive and rule-bound than highsec, yet vulnerable to roaming gangs which CVA itself struggles to repel. They can't even prevent camps on the HED-GP gate and yet pretend to have some sort of significance in the region. The last time any of my group operated there, we enjoyed resounding success in our war against a CVA tenant.
