Above post is a work of art.
You don't happen to know anything about how the Caldari deal with criminals do you? Prisons and the like?
I was also sort of under the impression that the Isukone Watch was a sort of famous Caldari unit.

The Watch is definitely famous, but it is indeed a private army.
Oh no doubt. What about the Octopus Squadron Rabbit and Fatal are from? Famous even just for that betrayal. TY anyway, was considering using that in my new Cal toon but decided Drug abuse and overdosing torture by Gurista's were a better draw.

I do know that while they are definitely pirates and do not hesitate to do some nasty things, they could be considered to have a `BIT`more morality and honour than other pirate factions.
True but like all gangs/pirates/ whatever you want to call them, despite having honour they are nonetheless ruthless in their business dealing considering they run the Gray Market amongst other financial deals they have going.
I assumed they made use of people within the State, who make use of unfortunate proxies to do the more dangerous/dirty jobs.

However, us awakened minorities here quickly realize all of the nonsense that goes on here. The confusion, and corruption. It easily allows us to recognise that and become who we truly are, and not the bywords that these nations or empires if you wanna call them, try to label us as.
Even the tribe of Gad: The North American Indians can relate to the Minmatar because they have lost a lot of what they had. But my goodness when you look at factional warfare right now, the Minmatar are giving it to the AMARR!! just sayin, it is true as of now. Or even the Tribe of Issachar: the so called Latin's and Mexicans of today, were actually proven to be from the Indigenous population of ancient Israel by the Spanish/european scribes and scholars that visited their land prior to their destruction in south America, when at that time they were called Aztec/Myan civilizations of the era. They fell to the hands of yet another empire.
And indeed with much awakening, comes the uprising and rebellion from the ways of their conquerors. whether it's realized or not, spoken of or understood, the Tribes that I am speaking of are awakening, in Real Life. In actuality, shows that this game's concept is even deeper than we thought beforehand.
It is interesting to see that such resemblances are depicted into this game. wonderful job again sir. The lore behind this will have much more meaningful direction.
Um you do realise the Amarr are winning FW where is matters don't you?

Um you do realise the Amarr are winning FW where is matters don't you? Then I guess it has fluctuated over the past weeks because at one point the Minmatar had 95% of the area under their control on the starmap. Idk if it has changed so swiftly. Lot's of blueberries have been doing AMARR fw except for a few really good corps that can really steamroll some districts. I honestly can't wait until the new update (1.7), I like the incentives of both the AMARR and the Gallente loyalty points. An Imperial scrambler that fits better than 20PG? sounds interesting.
NO I mean we are winning in Space as far as I know, Dust means relatively little.

Might be quite a wacky and all over list, but enlighten my naive mind of the truth, your words of wisdom mean no bounds to the subject of Eve!
No but seriously, answer whatever you want.
And keep bumping it, we'll always need your help.
The Nation was founded by Caldari business tycoon Sansha Kuvakei, it was supposed to be a scientific haven free of the mandates of the Empires....however his dream degraded slowly as he began testing mind controlling implants on purchased slaves from the Amarr.
Eventually this technology became wide spread in his Nation, as he called it, with the slaves being used for menial labour while the 1% ers continued to live in relative comfort, being implanted, but not with such a loss of personality. abhorrent as slavery is to most empire this even pissed off the Amarr...who under the guiding hand of Jove/CONCORD united the 4 empires to force the Nation to disband.
However in recent history the Nation has reappeared in New Eden striking from behind wormholes, sparking the incursion events we see capsuleers fight again.
Drones sent through the wormholes captured images of massive Sansha's Nation fleet blockading a known Jovian station...leading to the speculation of the Jovian demise and Sansha's new control over the Jovian Space and space stations making him the greatest threat to galactic stability today.
As for his ships they use advanced technology twisted into horrifying forms balancing strong shield and armour with extremely advanced Laser Weaponry enhancements. They are exceptionally rare and expensive vessels.

Do the Blood Raiders have certain rituals or practice when it comes to collecting blood or slaves? If so what are they. I want to do a bit of lore writing and need some info on this.
Do rituals change sect to sect and how much lee way do I have with that sort of thing....I have some very...Khornate ideas......

One interesting thing to note: they view clone blood as more pure and sacred than regular blood.
Indeed they like the blood of children and Clones if I am not mistaken, which makes the opportunity to attack an Amarr training facility for newly made Templar clones almost irresistible.....hence my story.

We still have blood though how that blood is composed or if it is different we do not know as far as I am aware. Though its odd that the Blood Raiders would consider cloned blood to be more pure and special than normal blood....which begs the question what is merc blood made of?
In terms of merc anatomy I will let Dagger field that one though I do remember seeing something some time ago about mercs with multiple organs, hearts, spines, etc.

I will take that to heart
7 ft sorry.
Yeah PS Home does state that we are close to that size, it has a good bit of information that I will try to trawl through in a bit, and if anyone wants to hit me up for some Slay by all means let me know.

Do you know any of the answers to the following questions
1.) What is the process of emancipating a slave within the Empire?
2.) Is the Grey Market purely concerned with the manipulation of Caldari corporate script, or is their more to it like smuggling, etc?
3.) Can I assume the Worlds End arc of the Chronicles is true, that the Imperial superweapon is destroyed and that it had something to do with Seylin? Or am I butchering the text?
4.) What forms of marriage are practiced within the Empires, are there canonical reports of such ceremonies?
5.) Is Templar One worth reading?

Question:I have never bothered with the politics of new edan so is there something that can help me with that? Final question: is there any chance a 1/4intaki 1/4knhad 1/2 cicre could be accepted by the Amarr and not treated as a weaker race? As for the final question the Amarr accept all who hold to the Faith but within the Empire there is still an long held and deeply ingrained social caste system. True Amarr are typically the most well respected peoples within the Empire having held positions of power for millennia.... the conquered races are .....well there are mixed opinions about them.
However for your purposes yes, you can and will be accepted but you will not be necessarily welcomes with open and loving arms. The Amarr value age and experience, loyalty and faith.
For example I might not look down upon you as I consider all God's children to be worthy of His love if they are willing to adopt the Faith....but those who openly spurn or critique the Empire I loose respect for. However other Amarr RPers might be different.
We Amarr like all people have our different opinions. Our Faith is shared, thoughts Uniform, but we celebrate the individuality inherent to us all as it is a gift from God.

Fire of Prometheus wrote:Denak Kalamari wrote:Fire of Prometheus wrote:The Black Eagles aren't really a military unit, they're a branch of the Federal Intelligence Office. The real life equivalent would most likely be the Secret Service of the white house. Alright thanks :) What would be the amarr equivalent of a "black ops" squad or something? Well, I can't think of any out the top of my head, I think Dagger might have a better clue of this(unless you count the Templars). But generally, a black ops unit conflicts the nature of the Amarr in my opinion, and I don't think they have any equivalent of the sort. They just don't strike me as the kind of people who do top secret operations behind closed doors, when their mission is to spread the faith and convert the entire cluster into the Amarrian faith. Fair enough :)
How about Caldari? (I know they have mega corps etc, but which one is top dog?)[/quote]
If we did have such a unit or organisation I believe it would fall under the jurisdiction of the Templar to carry out any and all of that of combat action. Think of the Templarsas not just defenders of the faith in the open, but also as an enforcing arm of the Theological Council as well as I suppose in some circumstances Commando's of the highest Amarrian calibre.
I also hate doing this but I consider the Templars in many respects to mirror the role of the Space Marines for 40k. They are not just soldiers made to defend the Faith, not just the best of the best of their empires armed forces, they fill many roles from front line combatants in hopeless warzones, to elite cover ops at the tip of the spear, to enforcers of the laws both openly and clandestinely, and more.

We are talking about Cops with basic military training who either solve crimes, have to fight down a riot or need to do some counter espionage in theyre mother corp, these guys are more like members of a swat unit than soldiers.
And on the point of Valklears aren't they criminals that were punished to serve in the well now "ex" republics army? These guys reminded me more of the Space marines from starcraft without the "southern states touch" and without the resocialization process. I don't deny that they could kick ass with the experience of a criminal life but calling them a spec ops unit could only work on a few very efficent squads.
Valklears are criminals who are offered a single chance by the Republic to clear their names by fighting and dying for the Republic by tackling the hardest and often times most impossible missions.
"In the great war for liberation the Minmatar tribes, finding themselves desperately lacking able-bodied men. They began pressing criminals into service, creating soldiers from their most dangerous criminals - their thieves, schemers, and murderers. The resulting force, dubbed the Valklears, won many victories and became notorious for their backgrounds. Though the leaders of the new Republic wanted to disband it, the military leaders objected and the program was kept. It has proven remarkably successful and continues to this day. "
See 40k Last Chancers, or the Dirty Dozen.

You should find it near the top of page 1, and I would definitely take a look at the links there if you want to learn a bit more about them, especially the Valklears and Kamieras (there are some links to Chronicles about these two on that post as well).
And yeah, the Valklears are scary mothers.
Mmm I believe their is a chronicle somewhere about them making use of clone soldier grade weapons, despite I breaking limbs due to recoil.....just to get the job done.

You have to admit if someone wants to fight for his/her freedom even in the face of impossible odds that requires a pair of caldari steel balls.
Not if it means the spiritual degradation of his or her people....but we won't have this argument here.
