The Empress arrived for the transfer of the TES Auctoritas at the station in Safizon when a fleet of several hundred drifters appeared and doomsdayed her Titan, destroying it instantly.

They then immediately destroyed her escape capsule.

Her Imperial Majesty is dead.

This is a dark day for the Empire.


Here is a link to the Court Chamberlain's confirmation of her death.

Here is a video of the Scope News breaking segment.

Here is an image I managed to take of the destruction of Her Majesty's titan being destroyed.

I don't have any on hand, but there are many other images such as the one above, including images showing tactical readouts of the Drifter's making their attack on Her Majesty's capsule. And some of her body.

The Scope is reporting that her condition is unknown. It is not the first time she's assumed dead only to resurface.

I will remain skeptical that this is the last New Eden has seen of her.

Curious.

Most curious.

If she was cloned, though....

More correct broadcasting would only say that the ship believed to be carrying the empress was destroyed. Anything else is sensationalization.

Astonishing news.

If it proves true that the Empress has indeed been killed, then my condolences are offered to the Amarr Empire in their grief.

Humanity has won its battle. Liberty now has a country.

It is a sad day. Even if The Empress is alive there are still thousands who have lost their life. I hope this is a wakeup call to those who still underestimate the Drifters as a threat.

My thoughts exactly, on both counts.

It is a sad day indeed, I was present at the time...
We had no time to react.

But we must not loose faith, God is greater than The Drifter demons!
Amarr is greater than a single death!

We shall overcome this...

but for now, we mourn.

I am utterly shocked by this.
I fully expected a Drifter attack. I never expected a drifter execution.

What a terrible, terrible day. Unbound Drifters are rampaging through the Empires and killing our rulers.

Yeah, now might be a good time for the powers that be to speak up, considering one fourth of them just got melted in a single shot.

This is very, very sad day...whole Empire mourn our beloved Empress who was martyred by those Drifter demons.

But day of reckoning with Drifters will come, and than:
"The Lord loosed upon them his fierce anger
All of his fury and rage.
He dispatched against them a band of Avenging Angels"
- The Scriptures, Book II, Apocalypse 10:1

I pray this day comes soon!

"I will not hesitate when the test of Faith finds me, for only the strongest conviction will open the gates of paradise. My Faith in you is absolute; my sword is Yours, My God, and Your will guides me now and for all eternity."

Then she's proven herself unfit to be Empress, and everything Max says she is.

As for The Scope: those of us on-field saw the pod get hit. Bets on it being tougher than the Seraph?

About time.

Burn in whatever hell is reserved for your kind, Sarum.

Despite that, Drifters cannot be ignored if they can simply get to one of the most heavily guarded people in all of New Eden. Let us hope they do not plan on sending all of us to that same place.

Saw a pod get destroyed, that is all. Is it angainst sanctimony to have a fleshy piece of soulless clonemeat be destroyed?

This is a major shock, I believe its high-time we started showing these drifter monsters what for.

I mourn the loss of those countless lives of crew lost. And while I hold little affection for the Empire or its leadership, I find it would be distasteful to decry them at this moment.

That said, I do think it speaks volumes that the Drifters exfiltrated immediately upon the pod's destruction. There is obviously much we have not been told about goings-on within the highest echelons of Amarrian military leadership that led to this event.

A sad event, and an omen of a nasty future.

Not so much from the Drifters, I think. They've been found all over but contained their main combat operations to Amarr space. Looks like they smelled something rotten and are trying to figure out the extent of contamination.

No, the fear lies in the idiocy that will be done in religious fervor by the Empire. Empress Jamyl was if anything a moderating influence; I fear in grief and rage the Imperial Pendulum will swing too far the other way and catch billions in its path.
