Just read the Caldari POW description
"Caldari Prisoners of War
Caldari Prisoners of War All of these Caldari P.O.Ws show the signs of appalling treatment over an extended period of time. Even the most well-off are still suffering from starvation and serious malnourishment. The worst of them are barely alive after enduring sleep deprivation, physical abuse and other more excessive forms of torture. The women in particular, have not fared well under their Gallente jail masters, who have remorselessly taken whatever they desired from their captured prey. "

Man that really makes me want to kill some FDU scum, vile, and depraved monsters. There is no such thing as prisoners of war anymore... They just die and clone spawn back to base. This refers to the Mortals, we are not allowed on conventional battlefields, and are only used to counter the other side picking using us. And in such context this act is morally reprehensible.
If it were myself this would not matter, I could withstand it, and I would choose to endure it over a mortal.... but to do this to those who could die.... is beyond my capacity for mercy....though I have no delusions about my own people housing POWs....

Either way Arkena those worlds belonged primarily to the Intaki, not the ethnic Gallente ( according to what I know) This is a whole chain of events. If you're going to talk about the bombardment of Caldari prime, you might want to mention that they razed an entire city, to a man, completely. Every single person in Nouvelle Rouvenor died. No survivors. Oh, you can blame that on terrorist groups, but that was the catalyst for the Gallente-Caldari war. And what does it matter which precise ethnicity was victimised by the Caldari, if they're still Gallente? The Intaki people have their own identity, but they are still a part of the Federation. So, how does those people being Intaki Gallenteans rather than ethnic Gallenteans make any difference?
Again I am not interested in tit for tat politics. It was you who brought up the selling of worlds but I fail to understand how this impacts on the poor treatment of POW's within the Federation despite such heroic posturing.
No act of war nearly a century prior warrants this treatment of humans, especially amongst those who champion human rights.

Again I have not mentioned here my stance on the Empire, it is not necessarily within context. I merely speak of the state of half a dozen Caldari POWs transferred to a ship I was stationed on while on active duty.

I am not angered by the incessant posting, but instead by their assumption that I am open to discussing the entirety of New Eden, such a topic would require a much vaster and more knowledgible group of individuals to tackle, which here we seem to be sorely lacking beside Arkena, and another Matari who has shown me today his people are capable of rational thought.

Wait, then who is Satja to you then? You specifically state she is a slave in her bio. Unless she belongs to someone else? She does not belong to me, she is indentured in my service on the behalf of a Holder to serve as my aide and support in my duties. I would not state it is uncommon for Templars to be able to own slaves, though I myself am neither held in such high regard not in veterancy.
To me she is more than a slave though and a very close friend, someone who saved me when I was at my lowest.

It is a sad shame that many are under the illusion that all of any race can be pure of heart. The ignorance of people who believe this sickens me to the core.
While I do hope that one day all four empires will endure a period of Pax Aeterna, I fear that this day will outlast even the life of mine, which is said to be immortal.
However, I refuse to sit here and lie to myself and say "The Gallente are evil by nature and the Caldari State is the embodiment of all that is holy and pure". For all races, all empires, and all bloodlines have all inflicted great suffering on others at one point in their existence. Even through millennia of technological and social advancements our human nature will never change. We are all cursed to live in a cycle of pain, anguish, harm, and suffering. I did not state that either, though the meaning of my original state me was clear it seems not all Gallenteans have even registered in mentally yet.

Some Amarr are traditionalists who would venerate the old ways of our people, blood, conquest, and brutality in the name of the Faith.
Others and increasingly more so in recent years look to new ways to spread the Faith. Conquest is a double edges sword, effective in most circumstances but wounds taken in battle slowly heal.
These newer reformists as I would call them are more and more outspoken in the opinion that slavery is not necessarily the answer or the most efficient way to achieve spiritual enlightenment, and though I shall do as I am instructed by my superiors I do it with earthly regret, since no act in the name of God is to be regretted.

Either way this is not relevant to the context of the discussion.
" Please stop pointing out the various atrocities my culture has inflicted while I am busy pointing out an atrocity this culture over here has inflicted. That is not how the game is played."
The original comment was intended to spark discussion about the Caldari and Gallentean plights, not about that of the empire, had I wished to be inclusive of the empire or exclusive of Caldari and Gallente when in discussion about our plights I would have made a comment about my own people.
As such the discussion is constantly being pushed off track.
However if you wish to discuss the Amarr I am always happy to do so, just not here or now, as it undermines the point of the original comment.

Also do not forget a fleet of Minmitar attacked The Gallente over a Minmitar Bruton who was accused of killing multiple Gallente people & The Minmitar called it obvious self defense but none the less they attacked The Gallente

And as previously stated many times this discussion is not one of my own personal empire though it most certainly could be. This is a statement to all who know the Gallente as the champions of civil liberties as failing themselves.
There is no reason for them to treat Caldari POWs so by simply comparing themselves to the Amarr or the other Empires. This is their issue and an issue that I find morally reprehensible, as I am sure any Gallentean might as well.

It's not like we would just as easily control them. I'm sure they are scared as hell of us. Think about it: We have nothing to lose but ISK. We could die a thousand times, and still live. We can survive all kinds of ****** up ****, do whatever we want, and the can't really stop us. All we have to do is rise up and fight them. Anyways, although I'm Gallente, and I went to the Academy, i've already died before. I'm just a clone of my former self, and wasn't even made into a merc the usual way. But that's another story for another day. I have no doubt they can stop us.... and it is because they are mortal that they are the only ones who can do it.
We could throw, endlessly, clones at one another, with a single life a man fights harder than an immortal knowing he may well die. They are inspired to acts of patriotism that we can never know.
Currently the control of clones is likely to primarily in the hands of Mortals will Genolution cornering the market on such commodities. When clones production stops and is limited by mere millions of clones we become no different from mortals don't we?

Then why are you here in a discussion about the Caldari and Gallente and not in one about the Amarr and Minmatar? I am confused, this is the wrong place to vent your dislike of my empire.
I am not accusing you of slave driving, I have never said you have made use of slaves, far from it your histories depict slavery as abhorrent, however I am discussing why the Gallente champion human rights then violate them so against a specific group of people.... this is the question I am wishing to pose to those gathered here.
Address this issue directly please, do not hide behind your baseless accusations.

VAHZZ wrote:Ok, not slave drivers but war criminals..my point still stands...the Amarr have done far worse, i never said i agreed upon which my people have done in the past..since it was not civilized, but i will not push away facts.
But that is precisely my point. With your current argument of "I cannot and wont accept something bad someone has presented with physical (digital) evidence so I will try to denounce my reasonable opponents argument by throwing accusations at him".
Firstly and I will deign to address this now, you say the Amarr have done far worse but you do not specify what. If you mean to imply the slavery that has defined us throughout the ages then you must know that the slaves we take are not taken so the sake of a cheap labour force nor because the Amarr think of the other races as sub human.
We engage in such practices because we believe that subservience and trial will bring a person closer to God. The Amarr themselves were driven from their lands on Athra to the Island of Amarr by the Udorians many millennia ago, while the Gallente and Minmatar sat on paradise worlds and received none of the divine callings we did.
It stems from our belief that when one person is toiling is service to our God, they become closer to him, a part of the larger whole, a cog in the great machine, and in doing this their actions become eternal and far more meaningful.
The practice of slavery is for all intensive purposes a term of indentured labour, all client races are eventually emancipated when they are determined to be ready for the responsibilities of taking up the Immortal Destiny of the Amarr peoples. An example of this are the Ni Kunni who were enslaved before the Minmatar. They were willing to submit to the Faith, they did it meekly, and embraced the cultural tenets of the Amarr and within one generations nearly 95% of their indentured peoples had been made free citizens of the Empire.
If you mean to say that the Amarrian treatment of slaves was and has been callous throughout our time, mainly in the case of the Minmatar, I cannot deny this, prior to the Rebellions our people had not met a race like the Minmatar who were so obstinate in the face of cultural change. In order to pacify the slaves taken, the elders had to be separated from the peoples and rather barbaric tools had to be used to attempt to drive the Matari into subservience as all previously effective tools had failed.
Post Rebellion, in his later years Emperor Heideran came t regret the turn his people had taken and outlawed the mistreatment of slaves under pain of death or slavery itself. Mistreatment is still not fully eradicated from our society, it only perpetuates now because of the way our society works. It take a great many resources, evidence, and time to move against corrupt Holders and nobility.
As for any other concerns that the Amarr are actively committing openly evil acts I will be happy to address them, though I hope my latter statements have helped you to better understand our people. What you perceive as slavery is to us a necessary part of the acceptance of people into the Empire.
Poignantly and with regreted, and in ignoring many of my previous statements, can you personally refute that the Minmatar were once slavers? That they killed their own people and took them as slaves? Do not be so quick to denounce what you do not know.
Will you refute that when Empress Jamyll emancipated the 9th and bove Generation Slaves and Theologically educated servant that the Minmatar did not gather and massacre a gathering their blood kin for remaining faithful to the Amarr Faith?
I am not interested in this tit for tat, admittedly I have started it in this instance, blood for blood is a barbaric and ignorant practice. I prefer what can be done here and now.
Why is there not a single Gallentean that can accept that his people have done this on a massive scale throughout the federation, and be saddened by this poor treatment of humans and the violation of their own cultural tenets.

I was simply clearing up false information, I can't stand ignorant people spouting out things they have no clue about. Speaking of which, I'm still not Gallente or Federal aligned. Get it right.
My apologies, seems that the Gallente have one less rational and intelligent individual amongst their ranks.
I also cannot stand the ignorance of the Gallenteans, they show utter disregard for factual evidence, reasoned arguments and a self centred system of thoughts and values that will never allow them to push their views to all of mankind.
((Note when I state this last point I wish to highlight that the Amarr think everything they re doing is a gift to the other peoples of new eden, don't mistake its meaning))

Contrary to popular belief, the Amarr are actually quite nice to their slaves, and have laws that regulate how you can treat them. I may not agree on why they do slavery, but they are not brutal slavers unlike everyone here thinks. Since you believe everything you are told, I am Jovian. Seriously though, those laws are only on the books for show. If you haven't personally experienced the horrors of slavery, I'd recommend you not lecture us about it or try to tell me and my brethren and how the Amarr treat us. So you denouce the lore as false this sounds similar to that 1 Gallentean saying "Don't believe everything you read." problem is he researched & got the evidence also since you haven't researched the lore & facts nor as perhaps being a new generation Minmitar says you yourself may not have experienced it yourself so how do you know if they were good or bad? It depends on the person some could be good some could be bad. But the fact is if the bad are caught mistreating the servants can be punished VERY harshly.... If you researched it, you would know what punishments can & have been done. History is written by the victors. @True The emancipation is a joke. Releasing those who've been enslaved for 9th generations, likely broken of spirit and will, is nothing more than a slap in the face. If she truly cared for the plight of the Tribes, she'd free all slaves and gives the Tribes reparations. No reparations, no peace.
Reparations for what? Seeking to uplift your people, to join them with our own, to give you the God we hold so dear? These are all things we have done for you.
In anycase the Matari are not blameless in this as well, millions died in the rebellions, Amarr, Minmatar, and more, our conflict spiralled out of control and more were dragged needlessly into it. As for the 9th generation slaves I see no issue with that, the slaves are not treated unfairly, except by angered Minmatar on their return to republic space, they are given educations, both in the religious nature of the Amarr and in the wider universe around them.
After they are freed they have no obligation to remain faithful, yet many still do, while other simply return to their peoples to live out their lives as normal Matari. It is in our mandates that we free all of those who are ready to receive God's blessings and continue to educate those who are not.
The Empress does of course care for the Minmatar, we see you as our own people in rebellion, but she has her duty to uphold the Empire first and foremost. You do not arm your foes and starve your people do you?
I do not believe reparations are a necessity to making peace, I also wonder what your ideal of reparations are.
Of course you might consider the emancipation a slap in the face, many Matari much more mild in temperament than you, they would be happy to have their children and family members back, however of course many still cannot reconcile themselves with the past and will continue to war.
I have seen very few movements from your governing parties to reconcile our differences. Long my Empress Jamyll Sarum's, and Emperor Heideran's influences guide our actions into the future.

Okay now you are slipping into stupid Gallentean.... I have spent this entire thread telling people this is not with regard to the empire. You cannot throw accusations at my people and use that as a cover justifying your vastly different social climate and political structure as a means of justifying and act that goes against all that your people and the Gallenteans here so often say they support.
I am not attacking you from an Imperial Stand point, but instead from the stand point of one who has witnessed these people suffering, seen their scars and been outraged.

One guy stated that he kidnaps Caldari women and sexually tortures them. And now you say that it is perfectly fine to treat another human being unethically for the simple sake of their humiliation? Please, you are insulting the small remaining intelligence that is left in New Eden. Please leave.

The Nation's slavery on the other hand is the stuff of nightmares. Seriously if you want to rag on slavery, go read the lore on the Nation. I have had my run ins with the Nation before..... horrific things they do to good people.
The Blood Raiders also have particularly barbaric side to their slavery, the blood pens are not a pleasant sight.

Such things as Gallente Battle-Cruisers gunning down evacuation ships carrying thousands of innocent civilians, just to kill one Caldari Official. Some slave masters in both The Empire and The Kingdom, who do not understand the purpose of the practice. The Caldari holding a whole planet of civilians hostage, even if it was their original homeworld. The Republic Elder Fleet's rampage, only brought to an end by The Empress, not to mention their tactics throughout the war. I digress, in the matter at hand of Gallente vs Caldari, I more often than not trust the consistent nature of the Caldari, to the variable so called "Freedom" of the Gallente...that's not to say Caldari are any more or less evil than the Gallente...they'll just usually kill you to your face (if they kill you).
Oh my god I didn't think one of my own brethren would say this.... and be this stupid.
Whether or not you agree with Amarrian slavery is irrelevant, amarrian slavery itself is irrelevant in this topic. The issue is CALDARI and GALLENTEAN INTERESTS!
Not our own, nor of the Minmatar, purely CALDARI and GALLENTEAN....

Also you seem to be under them impression that I cannot separate my duties to my Empire from my personal opinions.... this is a fallacy. I am of the Kingdom, and while part of The Empire, my loyalties are to The King. I merely listed the mistreatment (which is misusing the practice of uplifting) of the slaves, in order to demonstrate that there are many sides to the issue, and I did go back to the issue at hand, stating that: In general, I trust Caldari over Gallente. Caldari is the lesser of two proverbial evils in the issue at hand. I have made the relevant text more easily discerned from my previous post True enough Khanid the mistreatment of slaves however is a breach of the Empire's Laws. Such laws are enforced by those loyal to the empress and the Ministry of Internal Order.
Laws set forth by Emperor Heideran, and any who dare contravene those laws are not of the Amarr.

That I agree with.
And that is all I wanted.
A Gallentean to openly admit there was a problem, and that they too agree this is not right.
Such an admission reflects better on your people than the denial of guilt in overwhelming evidence, and brings me one step closer to relinquishing my long held dislike of the Federation.

And I did not care.... recent events.... have forced me to revise my previously help opinions.
Prior to now I could at best been described as haughty and arrogant, solely concerned with the business of the Empire and a known denouncer of the Matari for the least of simple sins.
That time is done, arrogance is a weakness in me that I have tried to leave behind.
....In seeing these people first hand though..... these mortals so poorly treated... well I suppose its well known I have a soft spot for mortals.

You see, before Vitoc came around, slaves were not exactly treated well, and by that I mean they were worked to death by the thousands. Whipped, beaten, tortured, you name it. That may not exist anymore, but ONLY because Vitoc makes your slaves nice and drunk, happy to live in a stupor, because if they don't get the mind-numbing antidote, they die a horrible painful death. Yes, this sure is much more humane. How far your people have come... Or lets not forget the more recent debacle of the 62nd printing of the Pax 'Ammaria'. If you do not know about this one, and I suspect you don't, let me give you the short and sweet version. All because of this one simple typo: spelling 'Ammaria' instead of 'Amarria'. The court chamberlains order for the misprinted copied to be purged due to what was a perceived grandiose error, meant that the Ordinators of the Court Chamberlain began their ferocious hunt for the books, and since it was ordered that ALL copied be purged, and the word of the office of the Court Chamberlain is absolute, as the books became harder and harder to find your own people went as far as USING ORBITAL STRIKES ON AMARRIAN COLONIES SUSPECTED OF HARBORING A SINGLE COPY. You government has literally killed thousands of its own innocent people because of a spelling error. Enjoy digesting that one. I believe the point of all this is, that every empire has committed its own atrocities. Were Caldari POW's mistreated? Most likely yes, both in this case and many cases before. But have no doubts that Gallentean POW's have been equally mistreated by Caldari jailers, and Minmatar and Amarr POW's also maimed and tortured by the other. As long as people from one empire hate those of another for no reason, this will continue. No one empire is cleaner than the other, no matter how hard you try and convince yourselves. By the by, source of the Pax Ammaria story Here Yes, this is public knowledge. I also have access to a copy, if you ever want to borrow it...
((Will respond properly at lunch...though you cannot assume my character knows everything that is public in New Eden.... he is limited by what I know, and I know only so much....I have not had 5 years to learn it like you might have))
Suffice my argument, which I shall expand upon later, I can accept what my people have done in the past, though it is not a reflection of me or what I represent. However the Amarr and Minmatar are not a facet of this discussion. Please do not get side tracked by the buzz word Evil in the title. This is more about acknowledging a problem within the Federation that openly contradicts much of what the Gallente supposedly stand for.

The Nation's slavery on the other hand is the stuff of nightmares. Seriously if you want to rag on slavery, go read the lore on the Nation. Some of it isn't as bad as it sounds, some of it is far worse than it sounds. Have you ever seen a minmatar girlchild willingly walk to her molestor for a dose of vitoc? I have, in fact I've seen worse. I doubt you have ever seen a Holder....

I feel that Gallenteans are either below Amarr or below Caldari. I feel that no one empire can be truly labeled evil, but the Amarr and Gallente have more stains on their history compared to Caldari and Minmatar. That's from my knowledge of the empires. That's and odd perception though understandable I suppose since the Gallente and Amarr are expansionist empires not matter how you look at it.
