Pilots,

Today, 27th of the month, during the Imperial Dreams and PIE Unity fleet, loyalists to the Amarr Empire, gathered Allies and neutral observers were attacked unprovoked by Drifter battleships. This thread will not be a report on that action.

After the battle, I along with other officers of PIE organised an immediate Search and Rescue effort to recover the crews of the Capsuleers involved.

As of this time stamp [20:06 27/06/117] relief efforts on field have been ended and medical teams are currently treating crews for their injuries. The remains of dead crews will be identified by DNA testing, and returned to their Corporations for proper burial procedures. Survivors will also be released to their respective corporations once their conditions are stable enough for transportation.

Those pilots who would like to personally come for their crew may come to Sarum Prime III - Moon 2 - Imperial Academy. My personal assurances are extended that all crew, regardless of race or corporate affiliation are being treated in the same fashion as any Imperial or Caldari Citizens. This SAR operation made no distinction to whom we assisted, other then the priority of their treatment according to the extent of their injuries as is normal procedure during a medical emergency.

I would like to thank the following PIE officers and other Pilots for their assistance, whether on grid or in delivery of supplies.

Templar Thal Vadam - Assistance in Triage efforts on Station
Bishop Alizebeth Amalath - Assistance in Triage efforts on Station
Lunarisse Aspenstar Daphiti - Assistance in ongoing Medical care and deceased repatriation.

CONCORD Vessels were on grid during the time of the operation conducting relief and SAR operations independant of our own.

If I have missed anyone off that was present, please let me know and this post will be amended. I thank you Pilots for your concern in assisting in these efforts.

God's Blessings and Kindd Regards

Two questions if I may:

Did the Drifters only attack capsuleer/combat vessels?

Did CONCORDintervene against the Drifters?

Thanks in advance

They attacked Imperial Navy vessels that were in attendance as well. I cannot confirm if there were CONCORD ships on grid as I was busy following my fleet's orders.

If you excuse me, I won't be able to reply on this thread for a few hours while I assist in triage efforts.

Drifters attacked anyone present, regardless of ship.

CONCORD did not assist. The combatants present were the capsuleers and elements from the Amarr Third and Throne Worlds fleets. Amarr Navy reinforcements also arrived during the battle to assist us.

Guess they were too busy hunting down 4 pilots who had the audacity to find a missing person in a flippin' unstable Drifter wormhole for them and then got mad when the pilots had questions about why they wanted the sliver of biomass so badly that they were threatened with force.

Sir, while I appreciate your concerns, this is not the thread for that. I would appreciate if replies here could focus on the crew members who died, who were wounded, who were rescued. We're currently having to quarantine large numbers due to hightened levels of radiation exposure. Assistance in medical supplies for these patients would be appreciated. Triage efforts are still on going.

I can arrange a transport of medical supplies, just tell me where to. Is there anything else needed?

In fact CONCORD even hindered rescue operations by not intervening when pirates attacked S&R vessels.
It is to be suspected that bribes were paid.

The day showed both faces of our world.
A united front of brave capsuleers stood in defence of mankind while a hoard of cowardly vultures waited for the
fog of war to settle to prey on stragglers and loot the wrecks while some might well contain survivors.

I thank all those who who fought with us and hope to meet you all again.
Let this be the beginning of strengthened bonds and mending old grudges.

Thank you, brother, for your words. I am sorry we couldn't have that meeting, but circumstances came between us.

We need radiation treatment medicine as a top priority.

I am happy to have been of assistance.

Anyone searching for information on missing crew members may contact me directly. I am still working to establish the identity of the patients at the triage facility we have set up at the Imperial Academy station, though this task is complicated both by the sheer number of patients, and the fact that some are not presently able to be interviewed.

If you are seeking to verify the identity of missing crew members, it would be helpful to send images or genetic profiles, and any relevant medical records that might assist in treating their various conditions.

I am turning over continued operations in Triage efforts to Lady Terranova. I thank everyone involved, and send my prayers to the further efforts ahead for all the crews.

My crew continues to work hard in assisting with the identification process of those of Caldari ethnicity who were recovered at the scene. I can now report that a significant portion of the survivors been identified. All those who retain State citizenship of good standing are being offered transport to State sovereign territory and medical facilities. Those unable to travel due to the sustained serious injuries in the incident or who refused transport in wait for pickup by their employers as well as the remains of those who have been found DoD will remain in the care of ms. Terranova and Imperial medical facilities until further notice. My CBD trained medical staff will remain on site and continue to aid the Imperial medical facilities as well as ms. Terranova's staff with the care of all injured Caldari until their presence is no longer required.

Any inquiries regarding the identification and status of missing Caldari crew members should be directed to ms. Terranova who is in charge of the operations and is continuously briefed on the names, status and location of all those Caldari who have been transported to State territory.

My condolences to all those who lost valuable crew members in this incident. My gratitude to those pilots, crew and Imperial medical staff who have been working tirelessly to provide care for those who have been rescued as well as treating those who have been lost with dignity and respect.

((New to Eve/Roleplay. If you have any advice and/or criticism regarding my character, please contact me via mail and be straight about it.))

i did what i could..

I feel pain for the people i lost, some of the closest people to me outside of my family wiped off the face of existence, im not sure if anyone else felt that way about their crews but i pretended that they also felt the same pain i did and pitched in

Mainly i wanted to be there to recover the survivors of my crew, see to it that they are treated.

I thank you for givign me credit Utari..I doubt the Empire would even acknowledge a lowly mercenary such as myself..But you did..But i also say that you should not give me credit as i did not do this for the Empire..i did this for my people

Something ere concerns me (beyond the obvious loss of life).

Why are the Drifters only seemingly focused on Amarr? It isn't because they are the strongest Empire since the four Empires have relatively static borders with no one having the edge over the other.

This strikes me as a very much specifically targeted attack, something that seems personal (on a mass scale). It can't be due to the Entosis link work or even then new structure shields. These are widely used and now produced across the cluster. Pilots of all Empires have been active in wormhole exploration and exploitation.

This is something else, if the Amarr ruling houses have any information regarding this now would really be the time to share it.

More so... CONCORD may be in league with the enemy.

Not only did they not intervene, after the Drifter Armada was destroyed by Coalition forces, with damaged ships and heavy losses, it was a ripe opportunity for Pirate and Lawless heathens to take advantage of the situation for which they began engaging coalition forces.

Rather than celebrate the victory, it was soured by our need to withdraw due to the heavy damage taken which would have impeded our ability to effectively engage the rabble.

I will write a separate note on this later.

Respectfully, neither I nor those involved in continuing medical aid efforts of the crews can answer that question. I would emplore you to take this directly to either CONCORD, one of the Imperial contacts, a scientist or perhaps another thread for speculation. At this time I would preffer this thread to focus on continuing efforts in behalf of the dead and injured crew.
