I wonder if it was ever a possibility to face the Drifters on the ground. I'd like to shoot one up.

I would like to give one an ice cold Quafe.

Of course you would lol. When I think about it, this is some embarrassing **** on the Amarrian's end. They just swooped in and took out the empress.

That's not exactly fair on the Amarrians. They were transporting the Empress in a titan, the biggest ship in the game, in their own high security region space. It would be akin to driving the president down from the White House to the Pentagon in a mobile bunker.

The Drifters have the tech to basically appear anywhere, at any time, in as many numbers as they want, with tech that far outstrips ours. If their target had been -any- other higher up from any empire they would have met a similar fate.

The fact that they are able to target such high value targets, apparently at their leisure, is what should be so terrifying.

The fact that Concord did not even react should make the empires lose a great deal of trust in them.

Luther Mandrix WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL RUST415 607	Posted - 2015.08.21 20:42:00 - [1] - Quote https://www.themittani.com/news/breaking-amarr-empress-dead-drifter-attack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46aRYr0IZi0&feature=youtu.be SAFIZON: At approximately 18:07 New Eden Standard Time (NEST) Amarr Empress Jamyl I (aka Jamyl Sarum) was killed when her Avatar-class titan came under concentrated fire from Drifter-class battleships. The alien ships appeared some hundred kilometers from the titan and fired a short barrage that left the Avatar a crumbling wreck. Empress Jamyl, a known capsuleer, was killed moments later in a follow-up fusillade targeting her pod. The Amarr Navy escort fleet of Aeon-class supercarriers have left the field and according to Amarr senior officials have set course to Amarr where 'their presence is requested". All Amarr forces are reported to be mobilizing to engage any threat present. The Avatar wreckage remains on the field, perhaps showing it will be some sort of monument. TMC will provide continuing coverage of these events as they unfold. UPDATE: News agency The Scope has released a video of the attack, stating 'the condition of Empress Jamyl Sarum remains unknown', but numerous capsuleer witnesses have confirmed first-hand observation of the Empress' capsule being destroyed. UPDATE II: TMC has been provided with the following image of the capsule under fire from the Drifters:

Anyway, this is actually surprising, but I won't really believe she's dead until an official CCP lore source says she's definitely dead. She might be using the immortality technique capsuleers use, despite her religion's stance on the subject for its leaders (she could hand-wave the issue and say she was magically transported by a miracle from God). Also, I don't know if they would kill off the only female head of state right now in the lore. If she is really dead, then I'm guessing someone really awful will take her place to reignite Amarr vs Minmatar conflicts to a new level. Perhaps I'm remembering this wrong, but isn't it already known that the Empress is a capsuleer (to us people, not the Amarr people) and therefore cannot die? I thought she already did this once before and came back in said Titan to smite an entire fleet? She has to have a clone installed in a station somewhere.One capsuleer died permanent death when the station his clone was in was destroyed so he had no (respawn location)

En route to formally commission the Amarr NavyGÇÖs new Imperial Issue Abaddon class flagship TES Auctoritas, and welcome her to The Throne Worlds Defence Fleet, Empress Jamyl and her Imperial Guard escort were ambushed in the system of Safizon as they arrived. The assault on the Amarr Navy, which saw the destruction of the Avatar class titan TES Seraph, piloted by Empress Jamyl, is believed to be the largest and most costly loss of military hardware that the Imperial Armed Forces have suffered in over a century. In the statement, released just moments ago, Chamberlain Haromi confirmed that Empress Sarum was GÇ£killed in action, defending GodGÇÖs will, GodGÇÖs chosen, and His EmpireGÇ¥ before paying tribute to her GÇ£extraordinary strength, selflessness and humility before the watchful gaze of God.GÇ¥ With tributes already pouring in from across the Empire as billions of Imperial Citizens flock to their places of worship, and messages of condolence arriving from heads of state across the cluster, Chamberlain Haromi reassured the Amarr people that GÇ£the Imperial Armed forces are on full alert, and will stay that way until such a time as the Court Chamberlain is satisfied that a stand down is necessary.GÇ¥ Speaking before the Imperial press, the Chamberlain concluded the statement by saying that GÇ£All branches of the Imperial Military have been instructed that their primary objective is the defence of the EmpireGÇÖs borders, her people, and GodGÇÖs will.GÇ¥ After the statement, the Office of the Court Chamberlain confirmed that handover of leadership from the Emperor Family to Chamberlain Haromi was completed less than an hour after the confirmation of the death of the Empress, and that his first actions were to place the entire Amarr Navy on high alert and call the heads of all branches of the Imperial Armed Forces and the Imperial government to Dam Torsad. It is expected that in the coming hours, the leaders of the Ministry of War, Amarr Navy, Ministry of Internal Order, Imperial Chancellor, Theology Council, 24th Imperial Crusade and representatives of the Imperial Heirs will meet to assess the situation.
