Intergalactic Summit

To All Capsuleers of Note:

Loyal and Faithful Peoples of Greater Amarr, Honorable Allies of the Caldari State, and Welcomed Guests,

We of the Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris formally announce our intent to host a fleet that will attend the military procession accompanying the coronation of empress-elect Lady Catiz Tash-Murkon, soon to be Empress Catiz I, long may she reign. Upon this momentous occasion, the apotheosis of a year-long ordeal in the wake of the loss of Empress Jamyl I, God’s peace upon her soul, the united peoples of Amarr now celebrate the crowning of the next ruler of our divine Empire.

We would like to extend an invitation to all capsuleers who declare loyalty to the Amarr Empire, Khanid Kingdom, Ammatar Mandate, and Caldari State to join us in the procession and in honoring the new Empress. Other guests will be accepted at Praetorian discretion. We ask that those intending to join us make a public request on this thread and we will grant approval or denial privately in a timely manner.

Form-up will commence in the Amarr system on September 27th, one hour before the intended time of the procession, which is now set to be 20:00 New Eden Standard Time. Thus, the fleet will be beginning formation at 19:00 NEST.

Preferred ships will be armor battleships and armor logistics ships of Amarr design. Energy neutralization and tracking disruption capabilities are also requested. We demand that heretical (Equilibrium of Mankind and Blood Raider, specifically) ships and colors not be displayed. Non-compliance may result in exclusion from the fleet, standings adjustments, and/or destruction of the offending ship.

This is a formal and important occasion, and all fleet members will be expected to abide by suitable decorum and discipline while accompanying the Praetoria. Any who are considered to be breaking decorum or fleet discipline will be removed. We thank you for your consideration and cooperation.

I will be there.

You may assume that I will be there on the wing of Lady Newelle in whatever ship she wants me in.

Neutral Catalysts on the prowl probably.

Yes. What is your point?

That that particular bit is a meaningless, empty threat unless Aldrith both actually intends to order the fleet to lose their ships at the hands of CONCORD's rapid-response teams and expects people to follow that order.

I expect I will be in the area, barring odd happenings.

You doubt we would have the will, Lady Tyrathlion?

I have relayed the invitation to our militia Coalition.
I will try to be present myself.

Far from it.

What I doubted is that you cannot see the grave tactical error it would be to carry out that threat, suiciding one's fleet over some random idiot's poor sense of taste in ship decoration. Especially when doing so would prevent you from addressing any real threat to the proceedings.

A grain of sand on the sidewalk is no impediment to traffic when compared to the boulder in the middle of the street.

The threat is not empty. The fleet reserves the right to destroy any ship the fleet commander deems to be a threat or an insult to the sanctity of the occasion. No, we are not stupid enough to suicide anyone to do so, but if CONCORD rules permit it, the order will be given.
