This, is the voice of the Ushra'Khan. Today we deliver a message to the denizens of Slaver Providence & Catch.

Heed these words.

This message is being relayed across Sylph territories and into the wider Providence and Catch holdings of the Slaver and his allies.

As I speak to you here, my brothers speak with me across the span of light years.

We speak in unison, with many voices but one message.

Many of those listening to this may never had heard its like before. You may not know why our ships stalk this space, ever watching and hunting.

Of late the 'Kari pipe' has undergone heavy interdiction by our forces, but do you know why? Do you know where this began, pilot?

Listen well and learn our story. Understand the why and choose where you stand with care and knowledge of the facts.

It has now been over three years since we first deployed our forces into the Providence region.

Many hearing this broadcast likely cannot imagine how much this region has changed since then.

When we came; there was nothing here. Nothing but scattered pirates, a handful of small time Capsuleer prospectors. And the Slavers.

The Sansha had long lurked out here on the fringes of Empire, but we did not come for those zombified drones, those walking relics...

We came because the Capsuleers of Amarr had begun their so-called 'Operation Deliverance'.

Amarrian Imperialists seeking to expand their holdings and spread the foul practice of slavery in the name of a twisted god.

They began to settle in the south, expanding their way out of Misaba. We in turn moved into the north, out of the Thukker outposts in Derelik.

It was there that we chose to draw the line, and there we began to build a counter point to Imperial expansion.

It was there, in 9UY4-H, that we raised Unity Station, only the second outpost to be constructed in the region.

The space about us was founded as free space. Any who did not support the slaver were welcome within our borders.

This might surprise you, but even today we operate as 'NRDS' outside of Providence and Catch.

For a time there was a balance. But eventually the Slaver pushed closer to Unity Station until they were ready to assault it openly.

It was then that we saw the true worth of our friends... and sometimes their failings.

As the Slaver's power grew we saw swift changes come to Providence.

For a long time we had supported our neighbours, sometimes to our own detriment and distraction. While some joined our fight others remained neutral, and this we respected.

Two years ago, the Sylph Alliance repaid this respect by choosing to side with the Slaver when the tide of battle turned against us.

When things were at their most bleak, they openly turned to side with the Slaver. On that day Sylph earned themselves a special place in our memory.

There can be no forgiveness for the traitor.

We have been asked by some in Sylph why we pursue them so tenaciously, why we single them out amongst our enemies after so long.

It is because we take loyalty very seriously indeed. We stand by our allies even through the hard times.

The world can slander us for our choice but we shall ever stand by those choices and that commitment.

We do not throw our friends to the wolves for mere expediency.

So we will not forgive those who have done this to us, especially when that choice sees them standing shoulder to shoulder with the Slaver.

For Sylph there can be no forgiveness. And there shall be no mercy or quarter given. We shall pursue them to the end.

There will be no negotiation until the entity known as Sylph is no more.

---

Quote:

---

That shall be the punishment for their crime. To be a mere footnote in the history of greater men.

But you, Providence dweller, what of you? What is your crime that we so hunt you?

Since the day Unity Station fell, Providence has been the domain of the Slaver, answering to his law.

That law might seem agreeable to you, Pod Pilot, for your needs. But have you looked deeper?

This space is beholden to the laws of the Imperialists and the teachings of their twisted beliefs.

It is your presence that fuels their expansion.

Your commerce and your coin that forges fresh chains to bind innocent men to lives in servitude.

You are complicit in their crimes. By your acquiescence they commit atrocity.

It is by this failure to accept responsibility that you became our enemy. And that is why you shall ever be our quarry while you live under the rule of Slavers.

But for you, perhaps, there remains a way out.

You are free to remove yourselves from this conflict. You are free to choose again.

Depart Providence and our quarrel with you is done. Go, remove yourselves from this tainted place and find an honest home, one not built upon the backs of slaves.

Or stay, and fight alongside us for a better world. A world where all peoples of New Eden live unfettered and free of the stinging lash.
Perhaps, pilot, it is not too late for you to choose more justly.

But for the traitor, there is only blood. The war goes on and continues to grow.

Our strikes on your installations shall continue. We are watching you closer than ever.

We are finding your lapses and exploiting them at every opportunity. We are the knife, lingering so near to your throat, ever waiting for your guard to slip.

The war shall go on, there shall be no respite, no safety to be found in Providence nor in Empire.

You have made your choice and you shall be held to its consequences. The years might pass but our resolve and conviction does not.

We are the Ushra'Khan, and we come for our people.

And where do these pirates reside now?

10 out of 10 for style, but minus several million for accuracy.

Just a couple of questions based around your statement.

1, Sylph is currently made up of both leadership and members who were not present during the CVA v UK war. Is this a case of just sour grapes now ?

2, Was this outburst of nationalistic pride prompted by any particular event ? Have Sylph made peace overtures and this is your response ?


3, Your members may bad mouth Sylph as traitors and cowards, yet they still seem to hold Promethia station AND have added more stations. Who are the "Winners"? Your killboard statistics or their space holding ability?

4, What now for U'K ? More "supply chain" attacks? or will you be executing something more than a campaign of minor irritation? Can we expect to see the glorious sight of U'K capital size vessels engaging in Sylph space?

On a seperate note to Butter Dog, I don't think any entity would remain neutral to their neighbours when they allow attackers to sortie from their stations. Sylph tried diplomatic channels but were ignored. U'K left them no choice but to pick a side. Good job they picked the winners really

Perhaps once U'K command realized that Sylph couldn't be turned and would stay neutral in the best case, they decided to burn the bridges, look the other way and allow their allies to use Sylph space as hunting grounds.

You recall incorrectly. In fact CVA had specific orders not to dock or use Promethia and to avoid passage through the system, despite the fact that we had docking privileges at the time (as did Ushra'Khan).

so in words of a gallente vile dog fighting for the terrorist cause, going head-to-head involves bringing a BS-heavy gang of 25 murderers piloting 15 BS, 4 HACs, 1 recon, 2 BC, 2 bombers and 1 inty vs 20 Sylph pilots flying 7 BS, 1 bomber, 2 BC, 4 T1 cruisers, 3 inties and 2 T1 frigs. my guess is that a lone carrier came to aid the Sylph fleet afterwards, when it was probably too late. the linked recording of that unfortunate encounter also shows the unremitting resolve of some of the Sylph pilots: one of them brought an atron after losing his dominix, refusing to give up until his last breath.

I am sorry guys, like I said, all of you are very efficient at hunting down ratters, some of you are efficient at hunting down PvP ships in groups, fewer of you are efficient in small fleet skirmishes, you excel at hit-and run tactics, and you by no means have the short end of the stick, and are very decent PvPers on some fronts. But in comparison, and in my time in sylph, one or two fights against any sized AAA fleet would have more of an impact on the people on an alliance scale than all your efforts combined in the entire year I spent in Sylph. A single fight against a 30 man Pandemic Legion fleet for example yielded a larger discussion, improvements, tactics re-considerations etc. than all your assaults combined.

Admit that you simply like to shoot at things, take pride in the fact that you are very effective at hunting down ratters and at stealth hit and run tactics, and fight to re-claim your space because you believe it belonged to you in the first place / whatever. Shooting people, threatening to shoot people unless they join you or "your demands are met", making public statements against hulk pilots who only go to prov because that is the only place they feel they will not get shot by every single person in local is NOT liberating - it's plain and simple terrorism. You can't do both. Sorry.

Ok I am new to this whole Galnet transmission thing here as I have been silenced for so long but I am confused.

Are you attacking Sylph because of a past grievance or because of the whole Slavery thing. I mean one second it is Salvery then it is past grievances.

Someone said refining ore in stations is paying slavers coffers but Sylph has there own stations and they aren't slavers, that is CVA. So when that fact is brought up it goes back to the Unity Station thing.

So I am a litte confused there. (checks to see hair didn't turn blond) Anyway to Shanda, I can only imagine what happened in that fight .

Ah yes, you know, Poreuomai, when we in the Star Fraction were fighting the Kimotoro Directive, a Caldari State loyalist alliance that we eventually destroyed, the disintegration of that alliance was said by our foes to be due to an 'internal crisis' and nothing at all to do with their resounding defeat on the battlefield.

In reply to Volkier Neigh, everyone has a choice to make - support slavery or opose slavery. From what i can see your neutral hulk pilot who mines ore then takes that ore to be refined at a ststion is paying the slave master's to refine. There are plenty of other regions in space that they can mine and make a living in. But they choose Providence and Catch, if they stopped mining and makeing isk for the station owners how long would the Providence holders stick around to raise their 200 ship fleets ?

Providence and northern Catch are NRDS to make money. Your are sampling your own holy wine too much if you think it is for a higher purpose.

Umm... no, it isn't the same policy. Corps that practice piracy outside Sylph space no longer remain blue to us.... and certainly will not be allowed to operate "within" Sylph space. CVA also does not tolerate piracy outside its borders.
True that you cannot "dictate" bahaviour outside your sovereign space... but you certainly had a way of "rewarding" corps that did with continued good standings.

A good 4-6 months earlier. When I became an executor back in January or February one of the first things I was told was Clan was discussing leaving Sylph. Drakmor was fed up. However after talking to Drakmor, and the two CEO's that were causing the most greif at that time left. Clan decided to stay. However i could tell that Drakmor was getting weary from all the BS from most of the CEO's

That is what caused good corporations like Phantasmal Collective, Venom 72 and others to name some to leave when they did.I joined Sylph a year ago and I would have to say since the fall of IAC. I can tell back to October of last year this was beginning. It is why I chose to get involved and try to make it better.

So the root causes go back much further than you even think, unless your spies were around then and they can tell you as well.

Kueen is the safe option , and youl,l just mass recruit from the coffers of the young inexperienced pilots in empire as you always do .

Im sure that current Sylph pilots would object to being called useless and unimportant and would like to know where this large personal isk reserve came from at a time when the alliance reserves are lower than could be expected.

Still, it is heartening to see people leaving the umbrella of imperial dogma. Progress is always good and you should be congratulated and wished the best of luck in your future free endevours.

The Ushra'Khan's dismissal of Sylph as pets is quite amusing, given their current relationship with Against All Authorities.

Does this UK Capital fleet that has been mentioned have cloaks fitted - hence why it's so well hidden? ::D

Can we expect to see the glorious sight of U'K capital size vessels engaging in Sylph space?

I must ask, have you never even heard of the cyno jammers which these slavers deploy?

Windu , I,ve never heard of you as a Sylph pilot , or even a U'K pilot .
In fact I doubt your sincerity in all of this , even you yourself question your own employment history .
Nice try though

But even the truest of true blood Amarr will acknowledge that slavery in and of itself is not a purpose, but a means to achieving holy purpose. From observation, the purpose of Amarr remains pure.

Your purpose on the otherhand is difficult to distinguish from the rabid dogs who fly belt to belt desperate for finding some meaning in violence.

Quick question to Unity.

I know that if as Neut I fly into providence CVA and Holders will leave me alone and eventually embrace me.

If I do the same in Catch will -A-, Atlas and you do the same?
or
Immensia for that matter?

Since you don't control any space except a solitary system in Catch gifted to you by -A- the policy of 'NRDS everywhere except Providence and Catch' has almost no practical meaning.

If you truly believed in your cause you would be expending more effort creating your own stretch of 0.0 which was neutral friendly and slaver free. You brand every neutral pilot using Providence and Catch as a 'friend of slavers' and yet make no alternative available to them.

Many of the traders were simply concerned with making money with no realisation that they were supporting slavers. And now they are aware they are asking 'where else can I go'? If you fail to offer an alternative to them then you will never win, the power of economics will drown your principles and rhetoric. If you make no attempt to offer safe space in 0.0 for neutral traders then you will simply be considered terrorists, and history will not be kind to you.

At the time I was known as Kai Tempest although it has been a long time since I have gone by that name as it is flown under a different person. The fact that you do not know me does not change the my view on events over the last few years. That is why my publicly viewable employment history is inaccurate. Currently known as Kirra Liu on the most part however she has gone on a posting holiday for six months. Anyway back on topic, my point's have been accurate to how I have viewed the situation between your alliance and Sylph.

So, can we expect more direct action against those alliances who support the slave trade?

Looking at the market in the Catch region the only stations buying and selling slaves belong to Against All Authorities, I look forward to your attempts to eradicate them.

Fear of -A- is surely a powerful factor, they could take your space from you without a thought.

I'm sure the slaves forced to work for -A- still support your cause, even though you refuse to suit theirs.

I believe the greatest mobility and fluidity comes from the asymmetric application of your guiding principles so that they can accommodate your current position.

I'm largely trying to play devils advocate here, it is a complex set of issues.
