Perhaps I shall contract it to Blake. It sounds like getting hold of one of these dolls is the only way he might beat Ava . . .

... and the doll is even made for it.

Normally I'd be sarcastic and accuse the Amarr of being greedy bastards, so I'd say yes, but now there is also actual sovereignty at stake. I wonder what Lord Vaari's reaction to Sosan being forever lost to the Minmatar will be, and whom he will hold responsible. Oh, and honor. The Amarr care about that, right?

Falsifying CONCORD paperwork

You're saying that the worst that could happen is that Vaari is made unhappy?

Things are going better than I anticipated!

I will not have people talk about the hero of Providence in such a manner.

You should be using his full titles when saying such things.

Most people would claim that the opposite is true, namely that the Amarrian forces of freedom from barbarism are on the back foot against the legions of Shakorite oppressors.

Of course, most people don't appreciate the strategy of sucking an opponent into your territory to stretch his supply lines before cutting him off from his means of retreat and crushing him.

Disturbing news from the front lines, where the Forces of Freedom are currently winning against the Legions of Oppression !

Top Minmatar militia ace, Matar Colonel Avlynka Surionen, better known by her call sign Ava Starfire, has been publicly accused by opposing forces (which of course include the Caldari), of heinous war crimes!

On the contrary, there are quite a few of my corpses out there. I believe that in the past some of them have even changed hands in return for ISK.

An article with a decent message. I wish Gutter Press would stop getting man-on-the-street style interviews, though. They tend to muddy things.

I have known Ava for a long time now, and both her friends and her enemies can attest to her honour. She fights hard, and she fights fair, and I know that she is concerned with the cause of peace, rather than with the cause of war.

Capsuleers committing crimes?

Who would've thought.

Except she didn't. It's capsuleers making up accusations of other capsuleers committing crimes. Which is far more likely.

Though these allegations are baseless, our alliance would likely not consider them to be crimes anyway.

Does your alliance not have regulations regarding the ethical treatment of enemy personnel?

The welfare of those that wish to enslave are people are not our concern.

Not everyone you engage will be interested in doing so, captain. Indeed, there are many that I've met personally that would rather simply defend their space from further incursion than do any manner of enslavement and many more who do not even keep slaves.

In fact, the only ones in the Empire even capable of maintaining slaves are Holders, which are the higher class of citizens and thus the minority of the population. The people you engage on the opposite of the battlefield are fighting for a variety of causes and not all of them are seeking to enslave your people. Do not let yourselves become the monsters you so eagerly seek to destroy.

This is nonsense.

The 24th Crusaders are fighting to keep us from freeing our kin, which means they're fighting to keep them enslaved. It also means they're fighting to enslave yet another unborn generation of Matari.

I care little for whatever self-deceptions these pilots use to assuage their guilt. Their motives mean little compared to their actions.

They claim to be solely defending their "home". Which is the right of any people, save those that build their homes upon the backs and misery of others.

I make no bones about that war, I fought it to kill Minmatar.
I fought it to protect an Empire that was brutally invaded and subject to a war we didn't want.
I fought to protect my family and home.

Whatever misguided goals you give yourself should not be covered in a thin veil of self righteousness.

If you want to free your enslaved bretheren an exchange might be arranged, your head for theirs.

YOU were brutally invaded!! The first aggressive act was committed by the Amarr on The Day Of Darkness You might not of wanted a war but you will certainly get one.

Our best form of defence against the slavers is to continue our push into the Bleak lands, Amarrians will be given no quarter as none was given to us.

The future is bright, ... and rusty-coloured. The Tribes are on the march!
