Background:
As you may know, it was PIE Inc. and Imperial Dreams who founded the Curatores Veritatis Alliance, and are today still, the oldest known capsuleer organizations still in operation.

I myself have had a 4 year history with the CVA under invitation by Lord Hardin to leave the Providence CLRGY for Defensores Fidei and it wasn't until recently I have joined the illustrious IG. Upon my entrance into the organization, I discovered that our 12 year anniversary was approaching, and decided to set up an event to celebrate the 12 years of our fidelity to the Amarr Empire.

Soon after the planning however, the Empress issued this decree

It was then decided to modify the scope of the event to gather Amarrian and Allied loyalists to heed the Empress' call.

During the course of the event planning, I had been in contact with Admiral Ren Karetta informing him that Imperial Dreams wish to issue the Empire a gift, for which he responded that he would lodge a request with Grand Admiral Ketzi Sundara.

Here is a -BRIEF- account of the events which took place:

Fleets around New Eden began mustering their forces as early as 13:00 New Eden time that day. This included fleets converging on the Domain Region from the Caldari State, the Khanid Kingdom, and various null-sec regions. The Providence Coalition Bloc fleet, lead by CVA Fleet Commanders departed from two Form-Up locations at around 15:00, to arrive safely in Sarum Prime at 15:30.

While organizations, and individuals began arriving, the Royal Starliner Regency Amarr, a Providence class Amarrian Freighter with the words "The will of God: Amarr Invincible" etched onto the hull, anchored at the Mehkios Graveyard, and extended docking planks for various individuals and dignataries to board, and be present within the Grand Hall aboard the RSL Regency Amarr.

Lt. Rytha Main of PIE Inc. served at Master of Ceremonies, and promptly began the event at 16:00, ushering in Lord Admiral Rodj Blake of PIE Inc. as the first keynote speaker. Logs of his speech are available. Next Lord Hardin gave a speech, both pillars of faith who have flown in capsule for over 12 years. Shortly after Lord Hardin's speech, Admiral Ren Karetta or the Imperial 3rd Fleet appeared in system along with Divine Commodore Taidis Rolti. They took the stage, and Admiral Ren Karetta had these words:




There was a massive response from the congregation with enthusiastic applause and replies of "Amarr Victor!"

Shortly thereafter, JedsZero, executor of Apocalypse Now began to give a speech, here is an excerpt:



It was at this point that the proximity alarm klaxons began widly, and the Divine Commodre Taidis Rolti interrupted the Executor to say "DEFEND THE EMPIRE"... at which point all capsuleer could see an Armada of 100 Drifter Battleships warping on top of the loyalist gathering.

At this point aggression began, as Admiral Ren Karetta's ship began taking fire. He gave the order to all local pilots: Ren Karetta > ALL IMPERIAL VESSELS, BREAK! BREAK! CONTACT! CONTACT! BEARING 336, ELEVATION 401.663! FREE FIRE! FIRE AT WILL!

At this point, the main coalition fleet was in parade formation. CVA fleet commanders gave the fleet warp order to a safe location to escort the RSL Regency Amarr out of harms way in order to ensure the safety of all those still aboard and to initiate attack formation. Back at the graveyard, Amarrian and Caldari forces began engaging the enemy.

As always it was an honour to fight alongside the CVA.

Amarr Victor.

I lost so many good people during this fight....I want kill every last god damn one of those drifters..Not for any faction or ideology....But for the people i lost...They deserve to be avenged and i will not fail them like i did in that battle

Anyone ELSE wanna say they're friendly still?

A triumphnant victory, however price was heavy. I fought valiantly middle of the drifter fleet. I also gave order for my alliance members not to run at any situation, but fight to the death. Our alliance too took losses, but in the end coalition emerged victorious.

Please, continue to tell us all about how gathering a fleet in our own space is irrational, and about how we'd all be dying terribly and feeding bodies to the drifters.

I think they'll find it hard to collect biomass when their entire fleet has instead joined the Elder Fleet as a ring of scrap metal around Mekhios.

At Sarum Prime, the Golden Fleet
In great numbers, did they meet

To pray for all the souls of those
That fell defending Mekhios

And others came, but without soul
Drifters poured out of their wormhole

The Drifters fired on the Golden Fleet
But woe to them, for they did meet

A mighty hero, proud and tall
Stood against them, like a solid wall

Twas Vaari, him of many names
And lo, he summoned forth the flames

That burned the Drifters to a cinder
And thus the Drifters failed to hinder

The celebration of brave Amarr Heroes
That shall forever defend grand Mekhios.

Of course it is, but we all have our weaknesses. Mine is that I could be a slightly more humble. I know this, but I just enjoy so much about fame.

I am very disappointed I was unable to attend. It does, however, warm my heart that the Amarr Loyalists came out triumphant against this alien enemy. Congratulations to all involved, and Praise be to God.

DENS honours its fallen dead this day.

As commanded we engaged the Drifter forces and our ships were lost; many crew members died. Not before, however, we saw many of our enemies (for such they now assuredly are) destroyed under the combined firepower of those present.

As we remember the fallen and mourn our losses, we take heart from those survivors amongst our crews, Amarrians and others, who have already resolved to return to their duties as soon as they are ready.

We will return, stronger and with greater resolve to honour the memory of our lost comrades.

AMARR (and allied forces) VICTOR!
