Then the True Sons and Daughters of Athra will await the words of our Empress. As the scriptures say Book of Reclaiming
"I give to you the destiny of Faith, And you will bring its message to every planet of every star in the heavens: Go forth, conquer in my Name, and reclaim that which I have given." - The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 22:13
Perhaps the Empress will consider it time to Reclaim the Matari in God's name.
However I sincerely hope Lord (Merimeth) Sarum does not do anything foolish, my oaths of Loyalty to the Sarum Family are binding, my honour is on the line, and should House Sarum make any moves against the Tribes it is my duty to back them.
"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." - The Scriptures, Prophet Kuria, Paladin's Creed
The Paladin's Creed is my creed. I must live by it. |

Ooohhh man if she goes for this we can finally start restoring the glory of the empire. There are a lot of immortals waiting to see how this one plays out :-) I hope you will support us brother. Going into combat alone is a daunting prospect indeed. If Lord Sarum diverges from the Empress' will I do not know how I shall deal with the repercussions with PIE.
Glory to the Empress. |

With immortal troops and the 1st gens that handed themselves in she has the force she needs to get the ball rolling Yeah it would get messy for me since I am tied to the Sarum Family but the empress is also a member of the Sarum household.... Such is a test of faith. |

Its because your people are so volatile that you suffer and this suffering is of your own doing. We Amarr will uplift you from your ignorance and squalor and bring you into the empire where you may all know true peace equally as children of God. |

Screw profitability, I don't care if I go broke buying up gear and vehicles fighting against this invasion. I swear on my dubious honor I'm going to do everything I can to make that little yappy dog upstart succumb to shame and failure for trying to use my people as a stepping stone for his ambitions. Then why don't you blame the Gallente for using your race as pawns? |

We only fight with such anger because it seems as it everyone is pulling and pushing us. Slavery is not the answer for such "uplifting". I mean you have to drug us just for us to be happy with your so called uplifting.
You just don't understand the nature of Slavery in Amarrian culture. Its is our test to you to see if you are ready to join the Empire.
In any case what your people want it not an issue. The Amarr are the chosen children of God, they who are to bring the light of the Lord to the furthest reaches of space, to reclaim the stars in the name of mankind, and they who are to unite the galaxy under one banner. |

Jedah McClintock wrote:So we get to prove we are worthy with backbreaking labor and the Amarr get to benefit from free labor. That's awfully convenient for their religion. As for the Gallente, they have a lot of hyprocritical bigots but left to our own devices we have little to worry about. Last I checked, the leadership among the Gallente isn't calling for holy war to expand institutional racism. As I have said before the Amarr suffered greatly on their home planet of Athra, we seek to allow you to go through those same trials so that you may understand the word of God in better context.
"Only through many hardships Is a man stripped to his very foundations And in such a state Devoid of distractions Is his soul free to soar And in this He is closest to God" - The Scriptures, Book of Missions 42:5 |

Take the same man on the same job, but two scenarios. The first he is a free man, the other enslaved. Do the Amarr really get off so much on taking away his agency, his dignity, that it's worth all the extra costs of keeping him down as opposed to paying him the market rate for an honest day's work? A slave will do what he has to in order to not be beaten, starved, or otherwise abused in ways I'd rather not dwell on. A free man selling his labor will do his best to cement a reputation for quality.
Besides, nobody gets slaves to handle a stock portfolio or to perform surgery. All that human potential is squandered for the benefit of an elite. Aren't you also screwing over your lower class peoples by shutting them out of low skill jobs you impose on slaves? ((Going to go out of character for a bit, so forgive me. It really irks me that no one actually looks at how slaves are treated in Amarr society and instead look at how slaves are treated in the history of Earth.)) Let's be honest here, if the Empire were to reinstate a Reclaiming in the traditional sense of conquer many Minmatar would end up with better living conditions and a brighter future than they do currently.
Agreed but in all honesty our treaties with CONCORD would cause serious issue for any real form of reinstatement of the Reclaiming. However there are other ways to Reclaim the stars without sending in thousands of ships. |

Let's be honest here, if the Empire were to reinstate a Reclaiming in the traditional sense of conquer many Minmatar would end up with better living conditions and a brighter future than they do currently. Don't the Ammarians give Minmatar slaves drugs? Viotic or whatever it's called just to make them think they're having a eurphoric feeling. I mean that doesn't sound like fun. ((Ooc: I think it's easy to think about Earth's slavery and that comes to mind first. Ammar slavery seems more like a reeducation camp than anything.)) Its a drug that is highly addictive and ultimately toxic unless doses are regularly administered to the person who is addicted. Whle it sounds like a terribly fate the fact that Matari would live more comfortable and peaceful lives in the Empire cannot be disputed.
((Its less of a re-education camp than it is the Amarr adopting the Matari. When the two races first met the Amarr were already a technologically advanced race with conquests under their belts and a desire to unite humanity. They considered the Matari to be like children and saw it as their duty of uplift the Matari from their tribal customs to be a strong and committed part of the empire.... which they partially succeeded in doing with the establishment of the Ammatar Mandate. In terms of the Holders who rule the Matari slaves, the Emperor Heidreran proclaimed that all slaves were to be treated with respect and kindness and that their handling was to be in such a way as to make their transitional phase between serf and equal as comfortable as possible.)) |

Galm Fae wrote:"There will be neither compassion nor mercy; Nor Peace, nor solace For those who bear witness to these signs And still do not believe." - Book of Reclaiming 25:10
To truly hate an enemy, I find it is best to learn their ways. I am familiar with your scriptures. You would see the entire universe incorporated into your faith, and those who refuse murdered. You are monster, and none of you deserve my sympathy.
Unlike the Gallente who push their ideals across the galaxy, or the Minmatar who would wage a war of vengeance because they cannot put aside their anger, I would point out the flaws of the Caldari but I respect them as allies, and would not want to insult them for their support to the empire has been loyal and unswerving.
Your anger is misplaced Galm, we are not the enemies you seek, we are the cure to corruption and sin, and that is all I shall say on the matter.
I am done.
As you have said, "There will be neither compassion nor mercy; Nor Peace, nor solace For those who bear witness to these signs And still do not believe."

Get ready for that loss Amarrian. :) Mataris we are strong people who won't go down without a fight. I do agree with you though. I'd rather have peace than more war. Mataris are only.angry because their people were enslaved and don't even get to practice their home rituals. Sure some are given jobs but they still live in poverty. Don't you think they would like to live back with their tribes? You know he doesn't speak for the general beliefs of the empire. That is never going to be a stance that the empire will ever take on the Matari
Also In the E,pire no slave lives in poverty. Where ever did you get that idea? |

Rumors amongst the tribes talk of slaves that live in poor areas. I've never had to deal with slavery or my family thankfully, but that's the words that were around in my Vherokior tribe.
.... Right listen to the words of those who would spread lies.... hey guess what I heard yesterday.... a Vherokior slave came up and thanked me for helping her see God's Light. |

I can't say all Gallente citizens share a dislike of Minmatars, but majority do not like us for reasons I'm unsure of. Maybe it's how much us Minmatars have influenced their youth with our fashion sense and our ritual of Voluval. You'd be surprised how many teens I've seen with Voluval like tattoos. (( The Gallente basically played the opportunistic saviors and used the Minmatar to get somebody fighting with the Amarr so they did not get al over aggressive with the Federation. They also tried to impart their government on the Matari but that never really stuck with the minmatar since they hate being told what to do)) |

Fae-haan: as much as I may have some sympathy towards your feelings on the Amarr, they are allies to the State. Their expansionistic tendencies are held in check by their last couple of centuries of difficulty expanding.
Templar Crusader Ouryon: the Amarr may have more technologically-advanced weapons, but the Matari have gotten good at using what they have. You may wish to ask some of your naval compatriots their thoughts on the Hurricane-class battlecruiser or the Vagabond-class heavy assault ship. Both are capsuleer favorites, and not because they are outdated and toothless. Quite the opposite. ((hurricane FTW!))

You cannot force our people to accept your "Help" if we havent asked for it. I can and I will if it means to save your people. I have my duty to the Emfpire and my duty to the Vherokior servant who supports me. She speaks of becoming a soldier of the empire. I I ever had one reason to fight with the 24th Crusade besides my faith it is so that my people, my family, and the people I care about do not have to war. |
