Well i have a mixed feeling towards this news

Slightly afraid of the drifters now. Well I'd imagine this will spark up some dangerous fanaticism on the Amarrian side.

OOC:

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.

Drifters are the ultimate pub stompers.


They make officer weapons look like Militia variants.

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.

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:

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.

Reported for spam.

We need this. It would be so epic

I think it would do the game / storyline a lot of good to have the Amarr go on a full blown bloody offensive conquest of the Galaxy. They are traditionally saw as the "bad guys" (no doubt an Amarr PR agent will be along shortly to contest that....) and I'm sure people would love to have something epic kick off.

That's good, you know I'm English. I get sick of having to play on American servers.
