Darn, so no assimilation is considered oppressing? Guess the Gallente are big time oppressors as well!

Don't go thinking that the Gallente are all sweetness and light, check out this story on EVElopedia

Though I must say not a big fan of the Gal either, really on a personal level none of the factions really appeal to me.

After reading the 'gonzalez' trilogy the amarr seem to be the most corrupt and power hungry of the 4 races often using slaves for experiments and pursuing power and wealth at all costs much comparable to the spanish removing incan artifacts for the gold
I chose gallente on EVE because my graphics card was pretty awful and performance lag of my pc pretty much made the decision for me lol

As someone who didn't come from EVE I don't know much more about the racial lore than is provided in Dust, but the most self-centered of all the races is pretty clearly spelled out as Amarr.

They take what they want because its their deity given right and duty to do so.


With that said I had to rally behind minmatar, as they seem to fight for [i]something that matters,[/i ]what had been denied them by their oppressors/owners.

Burning Life isn't written by Tony.

A quick real life comparison of the 4.

Gallente: ancient Greece, modern day France and the Americans.

Caldari: WWII Germany*, imperial Japan, corporate America.

Amarr: pick a religion, make it zealous and hyper fanatic.

Minmatar: pre-industrial age Scandinavia, tribal Africa.



*filters the natsee word

Except the Amarr aren't oppressors, I mean unless you consider providing schools and hospitals, food and shelter, oppressing. But I understand you only know what it told to you in Dust, so it makes sense that you would come to this conclusion.

Enslaving, expansionist, religious zealots? The Amarr empire is by far the worst.

Yeah. Slavery isn't oppressing at all.

We clothe and feed our slaves, we love and care for them as no one else in this vast cluster would, or could.

Slave collars don't count as clothes, and killing the ones who don't agree is not love.

Amarr are the only truely evil race. Down with the Amarr.

Ha you should look around New Eden.

We are the only things holding back half the Sani Sabik Cults from Empire space.

Killing?

Collar?

What are you people talking about?

As a former slave I saw none of these things. We were at times expected to behave a certain way, but Iesa III was and still is a harsh planet to live on. Slaves are not beaten, nor are we ridiculed, or belittled. My masters were good ones, but they are now dead. My new master however is a kind man, sometimes harsh, but his stresses are many.

Evil? That's silly, the Amarr are not evil. They helped me get away from a culture of violence and savagery.

But manage to allow a cult of crazed cyborgs in empire systems lol

Gallente:
good - Democracy, individual liberty
bad - corruption, excessively capitalistic society defined by corporate-vs-individual conflict

Caldari:
good - orderly (low corruption), focused on technological progress and industry
bad - inflexible, run by a totalitarian state, no value on human life whatsoever

Amarr:
good - pioneers of technology, most stable and 'safe' of all the empires
bad - slavery, class structure based on birth, expansion-obsessed

Minmatae:
good - tough, polycultural, generally the sneakiest of the empires in warfare
bad - caste system based on arbitrary factors, excessively violent, hold grudges against people that haven't committed any offense and frequently murder them for it, often incapable of rational action due to adherence to traditions based on 'hit cow with rock'-level society.

Our minmatar culture is rich and diverse, but sadly the Amarrian lies and indoctrination have ruined you. I pity you, but you also strengthen me. Because it is these lies and indoctrinations I fight so hard against. The Amarr seek to control the cluster as they now control you. But I will do all that I can to stand in their way. Never forget the day of darkness.

They use advanced wormhole tech to breach systems, currently no empire can match the sanshas nation for their power and their capacity to strike where and when they wish. Neither can the Gallente, MInmatar, or Caldari stop them.
