Disgusting ungrateful swines.

Yet if Roden where to get offed by the drifters, you would likely part just as hard.

I am hardly a fan of the Empire or its slavery practices.

That being said, Jamyl I was much more moderate and even progressive than several of her would-be successors. It would have been impossible for her to make the Empire perfect in any amount of time measured in less than centuries. For what she started with, I think she did rather well.

I understand the Matari glee at seeing the Empire take a blow. At the same time, if they truly do care for their enslaved kin, they should understand that the lowest ranks of society suffer the most from a power vacuum. It would be better spend their efforts trying to alleviate the imminent suffering rather than throwing spiteful parties.

What could anybody not in the Empire do to help that situation? Nothing. Amarr will have to sort that one out by themselves.

They party because a person who represented everything that oppressed them died in amazingly ironic fashion.

EDIT: maybe I should clarify. The arrogance that lead Jamyl to believe she could control the Superweapon and rout the Elders is that same superiority, that same superciliousness, that same infuriating haughtiness that lead Amarr to believe they had any right to enslave and deport an entire race. Well, guess what happened with the Superweapon? The Blood Raiders almost got it. That weapon oneshotted an entire capital fleet. I have no doubt it could have taken out the Iapetan Titans. Well, that didn't happen, thanks to Thukker resourcefulness and quick thinking. Instead, the lesser of two disasters happened: the Seyllin Incident and the opening of w-space. Drifters were never even dreamed of until Seyllin. There's no reason to doubt they never would have appeared if Seyllin hadn't happened.

Jamyl's hubris let the Drifters out, and the Drifters executed her with as much power and prejudice as she did the Elders. I'd call it karma, or at least cruel irony. Suffer not the Minmatar to feel justice was satisfied.
