Amarrian royalty is forbidden from being cloned. Furthermore, as far as I know she was not actually a capsuleer, and it was her escape pod which was destroyed, not a hydrostatic capsule. That being said, it's commonly stated by players on the forums that she's a capsuleer, but I don't know anywhere in canon that outright says that. (I could very easily have missed something, though)
Even if she was a capsuleer, the no-cloning part makes it a irrelevant point.
Don't know where your CEO gets his theories, but she dead.

OK, so this is the fiction thread. You don't have to be in-character here.
Just because you are 'piloting' a ship, does not mean you're a capsuleer, although I will concede that nowadays that's heavily implied (like I said, she very well COULD have had capsule implants, but I am unaware of anywhere in official lore that this was stated). The ship could very well have been flown with her just sitting on the bridge with the ships crew.
Capsuleers make up an unbelievably small portion of the population. To become a capsuleer you not only need the financial means (or a sponsor) but also the correct genetic markers, not to mention willpower. Without the right genetics, you risk wetgraving, your nervous system becoming irreversibly locked to the capsule.
The doctrine of sacred flesh has been around for a very long time. Anyone belonging to a royal family is forbidden from cloning. The Amarrians believe that cloning is an affront to God, and costs a person their soul.
In the Amarr empire, the church IS the state. The emperor/empress is as much the ruler of the empire as they are the head of the faith. The only body that is strictly religious that holds nearly the same kind of power is the Theology Council, but even they answer to the empress.
Pomik Haromi was chosen as Court Chamberlain because of his ties to the Sarum family, and loyalty to the empress. It's unlikely he is behind some dastardly plot to seize power...
In no world would the Amarrian empress and Court Chaimberlain sit watch over some kind of 'lessons'. She's the empress, she has an empire to run, an empire consisting of hundreds of solar systems and tens of trillions of people.

Where did you find that little bit, True? I always though the IGS were an immortals-only club, inaccessible by anyone but capsuleers (or mercs), news agencies, and CONCORD.
If that's true, then that really changes the whole nature of the IGS.
