Lorhak Gannarsein Science For Death 1831	Posted - 2014.02.26 12:05:00 - [1] - Quote I've been seeing this battle used as evidence as to why the Amarr are somehow 'inferior'. The battle was a catastrophic loss for the Amarr. There is no denying that. No Amarr survived the battle for long; those that escaped were executed for failure. However, that the Amarr lost any significant proportion of their military might is entirely incorrect. The Amarr are possessed of the largest military in New Eden, and, as True Adamance likes to point out, it's never utilised more than 25% of its total power in a single engagement [citation needed] Quote: The Amarr Navy has almost twice as many ships as the next two empire navies put together Amarr Navy There's quite a bit of backstory, but essentially the Amarr, being the expansionistic persons that they are, were looking for a new source of 'indentured servants' (in quotes because everyone else will call them slaves) The Amarr sent a single squadron to attack the Jove, greatly underestimating the Jove's information-gathering network (and also the work of a filthy traitor) Quote: The Imperial Navy sent a single squadron, numbering roughly 200 ships, to open the war. - The Battle of Vak'Atioth ...Two hundred golden, gleaming hulls, gathered on the fringes of the VakGÇÖAtioth system. ...such a small force. - The Battle of Vak'Atioth (Chronicle) A small force, though nonetheless one that apparently required the use of what is considered by some the first Titan, (though the Jovian Mothership is a refitted vessel originally designed for a completely different purpose, many consider the Amarr's Imud Habrau the first true Titan) which would presumably have been a large proportion of the power of the fleets of the Jove. Had the Minmatar Rebellion not occured during the battle, it is almost a certainty that the Jove would not for long have escaped the collars of the Amarr, particularly considering the humiliation of the utter destruction visited on the Amarr squadron. Quote: The Empire was shocked by the complete loss to the Jove. It quickly regrouped and planned a second assault, using different tactics that would be capable of countering the Jove frigates... The Empire quickly turned its eyes on the Minmatar and entered into a hasty peace treaty with the Jove. The Amarr were unsuccessful in containing the Minmatar Rebellion, in part because of the morale blow suffered by the loss to the Jove. - Battle of Vak'Atioth TL;DR The Battle of Vak'Atioth is insignificant in the number of Amarr vessels lost, relative to the size and power of the Amarr Navy. Its significance is more that it was that the focus on the Jove meant that the Minmatar could successfully rebel and that the Jove have a significant intelligence-gathering arm. Two hundred years on, the Amarr military has a counter to the Motherships, where plausibly the Jove have not increased. Also, I found this while writing. Amarr Victor! Forge on for great justice! Defend the meek! Destroy the weak! Q-sync breaches into the rectum of everyone else!
Tech De Ra Electronic Sports League 338	Posted - 2014.02.26 12:23:00 - [2] - Quote In a later fight, the rebellion built 3 titans, using one of them to assault one of the throne worlds. Empress Jamyl Sarum was like "these slaves are hilarious", told a disciple to go to the eve gate because she predicted a terran weapon would be around there that the jove haven't cloaked or stolen. She was correct, the disciple brought the weapon back so Jamyl decided to put it to good use She ducktaped the weapon to her ship, warped to zero on the titans (because why not, she's like the steven seagal of space), told the rebels that she wanted to clear the sky so that the annual deadmau5 concert could take place in peace. The rebels were like "lol daumau5 is really bad", so Jamyl was all "u wot m8" and then in a single shot instantly killed the titan along with most of the rebel fleet **** yes, Jamyl Sarum PS: The amarr also invented slavery, child prostitution, dust mercs, and the element gold Tech De Ra for CPM1

Aisha Ctarl Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 3575	Posted - 2014.02.26 12:38:00 - [5] - Quote Not really seeing how this makes the Amarr inferior. Everyone is inferior to the Jove, period. Amarr is superior to the other three races, period. Yes we lost to the Jove, but we had mandates stating it was illegal to flee battle because we have faith we will always win whatever battle we engage in. We were actually doing well until the Jove began moving, once they began to move, our fleet became confused and couldn't track their fast moving ships. When it comes to the Minmatar rebellion, they attacked while we were weakened. In short it's like attacking the schoolyard bully when he's already been kicked in the nads and has had dirt kicked in his face...you'd have to suck complete ass not to beat him. I could list the ways how we Amarr are better than you, but your lesser mind wouldn't comprehend it.

Heathen Bastard The Bastard Brigade 1024	Posted - 2014.02.26 13:25:00 - [8] - Quote Jeesh. Ya got your asses kicked by the jove because you morons decided to attack them. stop trying to spin it like you won anything, they could have annihilated your entire empire if they felt like it. they probably felt it was funny that ants were trying to fight the sun so they let you continue to exist. the mothership was not "required" it was a show of force, to teach you not to bite the hand that feeds you. It was a swift, emotionless backhand to teach a child that being stupid hurts, which you apparently learned nothing from. and yes, you have vast armies that have never seen combat and will break lines at the first bullet and you've possibly developed a counter against retrofitted medical ships, good for you? You seem to forget that their frigates were eating your battleships alive even before the mothership showed up. If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

True Adamance Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 7639	Posted - 2014.02.27 00:42:00 - [11] - Quote I need to find the quote, but anyone with access to Templar One should be able to find and instance of Mordu speaking about the Amarr Navy and its military strength, and battle history. Cited from EVElopedia "It was the meeting with the Jove, however, that shattered the Navy's illusion of invulnerability. The Amarr Navy utilized a single squadron to attack the Jove at the Battle of VakGÇÖAtioth. The squadron was only a fraction of the NavyGÇÖs full force, comprising a diverse mix of cruisers and battleships. " No titan was deployed, no capital class vessels, and a mere squadron of some 200 Ships between Cruisers, standard small vessel, and Battleship class. This most certainly does not reflect the Imperial Navy. "Just know that though our enemies may only #YOLO, through God's grace we can #YOLF at his side." - Disciple of Kesha

True Adamance Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 7764	Posted - 2014.02.28 20:39:00 - [13] - Quote Sergamon Draco wrote: Ammarrians have lost to jove,gallentes,minmatars,one question when they have won anything without terran super weapon? They have never truly lost to the Gallente, wisely the Empress chose not to plunge the Empire into a war across the cluster against the Gallente. Simply put I don't really think you should claim that having a force 4x the size of that of an Heir Fleet, and having to deploy an Erebus was necessarily that respectable. Especially considering the personal fleet of one single Heir is not representative of the Imperial Navy.....and considering our fleet is the largest in the cluster....there isn't a way for the Gallente to outnumber us.

Hate to break it to you bud but in Templar One Mordu canonically confirms the Amarr have a mighty Naval force which is not only holding off 3 other Empires but at the same time winning the battles. We mainly do not see true War amongst the Empires because it would not favourably benefit one Empire or another, and there is too much uncertainty to risk by instigating war.

Secondly if you tried to take back luminaire you would have lost more than half of your fleet due to gate camping. Tibus heth only activated a small portion of the state at that time. He left the systems navy less but we had more land military waiting for a possible invasion. You wouldn't have gotten any systems without losing great amounts of life. The Caldari defenses aren't all navy sir and it would take a very large fleet to take one sytem. Which the Caldari had 1 planet away from luminaire which at the time had only a small number of ships in between the to.

The Amarrians have the largest OFFICIAL navy in New Eden but the Caldari actually have a comparable sized total fleet. This is because each of the 8 major Caldari corporations maintain their own private army and fleet. Considering that these forces are not counted as official components of the Caldari Navy and Army it would be unreasonable to say that the Amarr have the largest fleet "by far" as there are plenty of non-commissioned Caldari Military vessels.
