I think we can discuss the merits of a sword in a claustrophobic close combat situation in the corridors of a ship somewhere else.

Our bodies are just a material we have borrowed from the Universe. We are made from the same star dust that the stars and all the planets are made of. And after we finish using it, we shall return it.
Burning the bodies releases all the atoms and the spirit trapped within. Although maybe less friendly to the spirits, the tradition of returning bodies to the sea or to the space is still dominant during the naval and space conflicts. I think the best funeral ever is launching a coffin directly to the star, where it will be both burned and our atoms will rejoin with the rest of Universe in the cauldron of the creation itself. From the stars we came, and to the stars we return.
Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.
In memory of Tibus Heth, Caldari State Executor YC110-115, Hero and Patriot.

Well said.

On Intaki we have this "reborn" thing which is supposed to be the transference of a memory or conscience from old to new. Some thought a drug could aid in this at one time.
I think it was really a ploy for ancient nobility to retain their status and later to avoid death taxes. But that's like just my opinion on the matter. Some take it seriously. I'm not a claimant of any past memories but the tradition from my mother's side of the family and the passing on the memories woman to woman is still alive. Supposedly my sister has loose screws in her head that are thousands of years old knocking around, stuff from great times 20 grandmas, running from wild simians and in jungles and stuff like that. I don't know.
BTW the last place you want to die is in the jungles of Intaki. Lots of bugs.
Bring back DEEEEP Space!

I say there are many other places that will contend with 'jungles of Intaki' as 'last place you want to die'. Amamake, for example, has worlds populated by flesh-eating insects that will happily eat your limbs if you so much as sleep close to their burrow. Nevermind the dust storms. The non-terraformed portion of Skarkon II and vicinity suffers from seasonal ultra-fine dust storms that will give you something similar to asbestosis if you did not take precautions (and sometimes even if you did take precautions). You don't want to be on a plasma world during mid-day unless you are in a shielded colony.
Seriously, once the sun shows up over the horizon, you will smell the ozone, see the beginnings of a lightning storm and next thing you knew, you are vaporised as the atmosphere of air rapidly transits into an atmosphere of superheated plasma and blows right in your face.
