It was a day of great treachery and violence. A day the heathen showed exactly what he was made of. The day was 06.10.110 when the Armada of the Elders invaded Bleaklands and Kor-Azor space. Then another heathen force invaded the space over Sarum Prime.
The unprovoked acts of violence continued as the Minmatar struck the peaceful Amarrians on several fronts. But in the heat of battle the unlikely appearance of a Royal Heir would turn the fortunes of an empire reeling from Minmatar treachery.
Suddenly Amarr stood victorious over Sarum Prime. The heathen Elder fleet left in ruins at the now legendary Battle of Mekhios. Eventually the heathen Minmatar were forced to flee our holy empire as Amarr won the day. But many Amarr had fallen.
What could've caused such destruction of Minmatar forces? How did the Amarr turn the tide of battle? In the days after the Battle of Mekhios there was much speculation of a new super-weapon fired from the Abbadon of the now Empress Jamyl I. To this day many Amarrians, myself included, simply refer to this unknown weapon as The Hand of God. For what else could've left a Minmatar fleet in ruins in such a manner but the intervention and power of God blessing His faithful with victory.
That was two years ago. In the time since the battle has raged on as never before. The empire formed the 24th Imperial Crusade Amarr Militia while the Minmatar formed their own forces. Battles over the two years have raged across both empires and unclaimed space between. Systems have fallen from one side to the other and back again while all the major empires have battled.
In that time many have died, many have been wounded and all have been affected by what has happened. Still today the Amarr are stronger then ever and our resolve has not faltered. While battles have been won and lost, systems have changed hands multiple times, friends have perished and material items destroyed our faith in God, the Amarr Empire and our holy mission has only been made stronger.
While the battle rages on we now take a moment to notice where we came from and what we have accomplished. On Sunday, June 13, 112 at 17:00 evetime a MEMORIAL RALLY will be held in the Grand Cathedral of Amarr Emperor Station in Amarr. This event will fulfill the solemness of a religious service, the celebration of a victory ceremony and all the emotions in between. I invite all loyal to the Amarr Empire to this event which will honor both those who have perished and those who have served. We will mark the second anniversary of the return of the now Empress Jamyl I with prayer for our fallen, our comrades and our future.
All who are loyal to the empire are encouraged to attend. The inpod channel for this event will be announced in this thread the morning of the event. The event will start at 17:00 evetime promptly and will feature prayer, guest speakers and some special surprises. Those not able to attend in Amarr directly will have full access via inpod communications via a remote link so you will be able to participate even if outside the Domain region.
God Bless Amarr, the Empress Jamyl I and those who serve the empire.

Maybe we get a Thrasher fleet up to give some Minmatar Militia reminder of that day? That our wreath is coming over you as long as you poision our people with Vitoc, poision our souls with your ill religion and racist propaganda and put our naturally born freedom under the whip and the shackles of slavery.
May the sky above those worlds burn again, burn, burn, burn. As long as a single Matari is held as a slave in the Empire. -- FREEDOM, PUNK & AUTOCANNONS

, really? Let it go. You know every time you "save" a matari slave, another matari dies in the process one way or another. Allow me to put it into perspective for you and your brethren. The Elder fleet came, and stole a large amount of our property, i.e slaves. In return, at the time, Jamyl Sarum, annihilated the Elder super capital fleet, thus destroying more matari lives than what was actually saved.
What you need to do, is be grateful for what matari lives you dont have in slavery, and forget about the ones that Amarr has. They aren't minmatar anymore. They don't acknowledge your republic, your tribal nature, and the majority don't even know your history or some cases or current existence.
There is no justice is ripping them from their lives now and bringing them back to... where ever you plan on bringing them back to. Taking them now, would be just the same as when Amarrians showed up all those years ago and started capturing matari.
Let it go, and save more lives.

A given that Epitoth Fleet Yards and it's Guard will be present.
Last year around this time I organised an event to remember the lives lost during this war and sadly little has changed since. I delivered a speech on how bravely the militia of all sides has fought and gave my respects to all sides.
This year I will be personally delivering a short speech on the events of the last two years and how they have effected Amarr loyalists and our relationships.

The inpod channel for the Rally is: AMARR CATHEDRAL
The rally will begin at 17:00 evetime today.
Scheduled are three official speakers along with openings for several guest speakers. Those who wish to make comments during the service should send me an evemail with a description of what you'd like to discuss. This is the only way to be placed on the schedule.
The rally will be held inside the Grand Cathedral in Amarr Emperor Station. Please be docked in station by 16:55 so you can make your way up to the cathedral before it begins. Those who are unable to be present in the cathedral due to other obligations are most welcome to join the official channel for the event and monitor it from your inpod location. I am told this option is available throughout the eve cluster.
This is a solemn day and while we honor those who fell we also honor those who perservered. It is my desire that this rally remain non-political and non-confrontatial between all who attend as supporters of Amarr. We are here to honor the fallen and offer thanks and prayers for those who still fight n the side of the Amarr Empire. That is the focus today.

Ahhh, Koro...I believe your fall from grace is now complete. I had hoped you would find your way back to the Empire, but now you have burned that bridge and urinated on the blackened remnants of the support pylons.
You have been one step forward and five steps back for some time, but this settles it for me.
May you burn on the bosom of the petty and small individuals you have taken sides with against the Empire... "To bring order to chaos, one must bring chaos to its knees."

Here is what happened at the rally:
Originally by: Archbishop Greetings brothers and sisters of Amarr, friends of the Amarr Emipre and loyal supporters of the Empress Jayml. Two years ago this week the peaceful Amarr Empire lived in harmony with others. Our borders were secure, our mission of enlightenment was proceeding. That all changed one day. Reports came in of fighting in Kor Azor, in the mandate then finally a heathen elder fleet appeared in Sarum Prime.
That fleet brought death and destruction to the innocent Amarrian people.
That fleet stole the property of Amarr and also stole the opportunity of enlightnment for the slaves they "freed".
Thousands upon millions perished that day throughout the empire.
Yet on that day something happend. Like a Phoenix rising from the flames the Amarr Empire recovered.
As the Elder Fleet bombarded from above Mekhios a small squad of Imperial class Amarrian Battleships appeared.
Led by one who would later be identified as the royal heir Jamyl of Sarum Prime. Her small force of loyalist forces took aim with some sort of weapon.
A weapon many of us call "The Hand of God" for it's unknown even today.
What is known though is the result of this one weapon.
The complete and utter destruction of the Elder fleet. Amarr was saved.
The tide of battle turned that day and eventually Amarrian forces led to victory.
After that we had the coronation of the now Empress Jamyl I and Amarr has continued at war ever since.
The 24th imperial crusade has fought valiantly agaisnt the enemies of God.
But it all started at Mekhios.
Those who perished that day were the first warriors of this "new war" that would engulf Amarr.
Today we come together for two things. To honor those who perished that day fighting for Amarr and to honor those who persevered and have fought on.
In the two years since that day systems have been won and lost and won again. Corporations have moved in and out of the militia and back in. Some have joined and supported Amarr in other ways from afar.
But the one constant from day one has been the support of the loyal citizens of our empire and it's loyalist organizations.
The support of God and Empire we all feel in our hearts.
Today we honor those who fell and those who perservered.
Recently the tide of battle turned again in Amarr favor.
Forces of the Amarr Militia have regained ground once lost.
Today I am honored to call Dantalus Portos to speak. He is a member of one of the most successful militia corporations of late.
He is a fine citizen and a good man.
Legatus Portos.
Originally by: Dantalus Portos
From Darkness, comes light.
The light of our Empress transcends the darkness of those that raise arms against us.
May His will and Her light guide us.
May His will and Her light strengthen us.
May His will and Her light unite noble loyalist forces to find co-operation.
Our cause is great. Our determination is unparalleled. Our power is overwhelming.
On behalf of the 1st Praetorian Guard and all those that are true and loyal to the Empire...
Amarr Victor!
The crowd responded by shouting out "Amarr Victor!" at the top of their lungs.
Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

Thank you Legatus Portos.
Please rise for a reading of holy scripture: "For forty millenniums we struggled in the desert. Time of infinity to grief our misgivings. Time of eternity to stray without God's guidance. One can repent and pray for forgiveness. But true meekness is one that has penetrated and laid its roots in the very heart of a man. The stars above will not weep for us parting. The air we breathe won't notice our disappearance. The dirt of the earth will embrace our decadence. Only in God can we thrive and grow. Only God." The Scriptures, Kuria 4:23
Amen.
The congregation at this replied replied with "Amen."
Originally by: Archbishop
While many have fought directly in the Amarr militia for God there are others.
To the south our good friends of the CVA held the Providence region for many years.
Successfully creating a place where pilots could live in relative safety free from the heathen and the pirate.
Our friends in the CVA helped supply Amarrian corporations with tactical and material support the last two years. In return the forces of Amarr helped CVA on occasion with operations.
It is our desire to see all Amarrian forces grow in their relationships with one another.
I am pleased to recognize Rorin Cutter.
A former CVA diplomat, who has asked to say a few words.
Originally by: Rorin Cutter
Good day everyone, some of you may know me, and some might not.
I have spent much time in the last years trying my best to live up to the legend of those brave pilots who on this day two years ago did there best and gave there all to protect the Empire from the heathen invasion.
Of course they sacrificed themselves and paid the ultimate price, and in there memory I would like to say, thank you!
At the same time, I would like to say a short prayer in memory of those that have fallen in both that invasion and the invasion from the terrorists in Providence.
These are dark times for many, but I believe that God through the Empress is our guiding light!
The word of the Lord is pure,It is a shield for the faithful,Brought unto men by the Angels,As a guiding light in the darkness "- The Scriptures, Book of the Prophet Anoyia, 8:15
Oh God Bless the fallen in your name! Give us Victory oh Lord; we beseech you for victory against your enemies!
For we are your people, your retribution incarnate, and your angels of vengeance, and we will overcome in your name! Amarr Victor Brothers and Sisters!
To which the crowd responded with "Amarr Victor"

Originally by: Rodj Blake
Thank you Archbishop.
And thank you to the Star Fraction mole who is kindly relaying this service to the masses in Amarr - you are saving Archbishop a job!
I would like to talk today about service, and the difficult decisions that we need to make to carry it out.
Two years ago, Jamyl Sarum returned to the Empire and defeated the Elders at Mekhios.
Since then, all of us who are loyal to the Empire have had to make some difficult decisions about the nature of our service.
Those of us who have been fighting for Amarr for many years have in recent times been joined by some pilots with a less than savoury reputation - pirates, heretics, thieves. I'm sure you all can all think of some examples.
We have at times therefore been forced to choose whether or not to support them.
I shall return to that shortly, but before I do I should inform you that PIE was recently approached by an alliance that by it's very nature is hostile to the Empire. They informed us that they were preparing an attack on one of our enemies. We had to decide whether or not to side with them.
I think that the words of one of my fellow Admirals sums up our decision quite nicely:
"So enemies of Amarr, terrorist mercenaries and supporters of the Tyrant Shakor are all trying to kill each other. Good. They all deserve to burn. No Praetorian is to offer cooperation or support to either side."
That is essentially the attitude that has kept PIE true to its founding principles for a very long time.
Unlike many of our opponents who will shamelessly throw aside their principles when it is expedient to do so, we do not subscribe to the belief that the enemy of our enemy is automatically our friend.
We have often found that it is better to allow two sets of enemies to tear each other apart like the dogs they are rather than to get involved.
And so it is that we return to those unsavoury groups who claim to fight for Amarr.
I say let them do so.
Let them die for us.
But in saying so, I should point out that whilst PIE will not prevent them and the Shakorites from tearing into each other, we will not provide them with assistance either.
We will fight the war according to our principles, not theirs. Their past sins are still sins for at least until they seek atonement for them, and whilst we may share a militia with sinners we will not ally ourselves with them.
For without our principles, we are nothing and this is a war of one set of principles against another.
The principles of faith, justice and civilisation that underpin Amarrian society against the principles of sin, anarchy and barbarism that our enemies support.
We will not win the war by abandoning our principles - and so we won't.
Rather, we shall acheive victory by remaining true to our Amarrian heritage.
We shall use the the shield of faith to protect us from our enemies and the sword of justice to smite them.
We shall win.
Amarr Victor.
Once more the chamber echoed with cries of "Amarr Victor"

Grr flickered onto a large viewscreen for all to see.
Originally by: Grr
My apologies for not being there in person but business keeps me busy
Thank you Archbishop.
A year ago it fell to myself to help lead a fleet into the republic where Amarr loyalist forces delivered speeches reflecting a year of war and lives lost.
The event was of course an outstanding success but despite our flag of peace, the fleet was shot at by republic navy forces, terrorists and pirates.
It left a bitter taste in my mouth to deliver words of how bravely all sides had fought while under fire from those who we took time to visit and give our respects to.
This year IÆm pleased to see Archbishop step forward to organize this memorial and have offered him my full support.
In keeping with this change of location however and with last yearÆs experiences in mind IÆll not focus on the enemy and instead speak how the war has affected Amarr loyalists.
While last year our fleet sent 1000 freedom fighters to their deaths with our energy weapons, this year I will try and temper the loyalist here with the weapons of words.
Unlike Rodj and others here I am no wordsmith, most here have come to respect the ideas I try to convey. So much so that not long ago I was voted ôAmarr Loyalist of the Yearö by many of you so IÆd like to think at least some listen to me.
I must warn you that my words today may offend some but I only offer the truth and say these words out of love for you and our Empire...
The past two years I have seen a major failure to communicate between the Amarr loyalist paramilitary corps.
I have seen pilots argue in our intel channels about what they name their ship, all the while our forces were under attack.
I have seen entire loyalist fleets slaughtered because they could not work together.
This must stop.
The issue of piracy has reared its ugly head a number of times causing conflict among loyalists that used to work so well together.
How do you define a pirate? Does a nullsec alliances NRDS policy have a place in the warzone? These are important questions but when they drive a wedge between brothers, they become pointless.
IÆm pleased to say that after many incidents and arguments things have calmed down a bit between us all. The problems still exist however and should not be ignored.
Now is perhaps a good time for CVA to review its militia war polices and perhaps a good time for old loyalist corps such as 1st Praetorian Guard and PIE Inc to work together harder than ever before.
There is also this myth that direct involvement in the war is the be all and end all of being loyal to the Empire. This is simply a fallacy as a number of corps and alliances work hard to protect or develop the Empire in their own ways.
ItÆs not all negative however. There have clearly have been some successes such as the ôconfido,ö a group of like-minded Amarr corps whose goal is to win the war yet upkeep a set of standards while doing so.
Recently weÆve seen them really drive forward the war effort working hard to help achieve our victories and so I can only offer my thanks for their efforts.
On other fronts the Caldari Militia have done extremely well because of one important reason: cooperation.
Perhaps the Amarr militia can learn a lot from our allies here.
IÆm entirely confident that if we can swallow our pride, work together as brothers weÆll see the end of this war a lot sooner.
It would be fantastic to see in one year from now the Amarr bloc celebrating a victory at this time and cooperation is key to achieving it.
I leave you a small piece of scripture to contemplateà
"Surround yourself with the faithful, Stand together, for there is no strength like it under the heavens."
Thank you for listening.
Again, the assembled loyalists shouted "Amarr Victor"
Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

Originally by: Archbishop
I would like to close with a piece of scripture - please rise.
Which test reveals more of the soul - the test that a man will take to prove his faith. or the test that finds the man who believed his faith already proven?...
...If you know this answer, then you also know which of these challenges bear the greatest penalty for failure...
...The gates of paradise will open for you one time only; woe to the soul who dares to knock twice.
Remember these words brothers and sisters and other friends of Amarr. Do not even for a moment leave the path.
Though the road may be difficult, may have agnoy and loss, may have pain and suffering, if it is the road of God it must be followed.
Do not take the easy way out or indulge in personal desires and pleasures.
There is work to do. We must all do it.
In any capacity you can, some mine, some build, some fight and some conquer.
We all serve Amarr and God and our work is not yet finished.
Now a prayer.
Lord God of Amarr. Continue to watch over the Amarr Empire and bring your wisdom to our Empress Jamyl I. Guide her hand as she leads us to victory over the heathen and salvation in your realm...
...Give us the strength to support you as we should. ...Give us the truth as you always have as our weaopn agaisnt tyranny and evil. ...Give us the courage to put aside personal dispute and petty differences and the ability to rise together as one massive army of God to smite the heathens.
We humbly ask you give us these things in your name. For we are your humble servants.
Amen.
As tradition dictates, the crowd responded with Amens of their own.
Originally by: Archbishop Thank you for attending. But before you go. I have a surprise. The loyalist organization ZERO HEAVY INDUSTRIES and PIE Inc have donated some ships to be distributed to attendees. You have all been secretly assigned numbers based on your order in the chatwindow on the right
Of course terrorists and enemies of Amarr are not eligible for prizes.
The first number is 8. Derek Schaeffer. You are awarded an Armageddon Battleship. Use it well against enemies of the Empire and God
However, Derek Schaeffer declined to accept his prize, saying "Keep it. Perhaps use it to live up to your high words and fight the enemy at our doorstep. I am sorry, I cannot sit here any longer." At this point he departed from the ceremony along with members of the Khanid Provinical Vanguard corporation.
Silas Vitalia had the following to say:
Originally by: Silas Vitalia Let's away, these words of Amarr Victor ring most hollow considering the war targets nearby. Call us when you people are serious about ther real threats.
Archbishop continued:
Originally by: Archbishop
The second number is 10.
Eliana Narai.
Use this apocalypse battleship to strike fear inito the hearts of the heathens.
Upon acepting her ship, Eliana Narai saluted and said "I am honoured, Admiral."
Originally by: Archbishop
The third number is 12. Greyon. Use this apocalypse to destroy heathens!
The next number is 20. Liamn Use this Apocalypse against those who would rob us of our way of life.
The final number is 28 - Sten Mattson. This Abaddon was built by my own factories. Use it well.
Liamn thanked Archbishop and humbly accepted his vessel. Greyon said simply "I am honored." Sten Mattson expressed similar sentiments.
At that point, and amidst congratulatory shouts and cries of "Amarr Victor", Archbishop finished proceedings with "This concludes the rally of rememberance."

Edited by: Jakiin on 17/06/2010 18:00:51 I retain, as always, some repect for PIE. That they decided to include our comments speaks either to their honour or their political sense, both good qualities though it's difficult to tell which is displayed.
However, that respect is somewhat tarnished. I have had disagreements with PIE in the past over their preferred tactic of "Ignoring the issue and hoping it goes away", and now the corporation which I represent here does as well.
Whilst the people of PIE sat inside and spoke at great length of the glories of God's Empire, the very enemies of that empire sat outside and crowed their heresies to the Heavens. And what recourse was offered? None. PIE continued on, ignoring them despite the fact that between them and ourselves (Whom the Fraction had also declared war upon) we had the firepower to clear them from His domain.
No member of the Vanguard recieved any requests for a joint purging from PIE. No sign was made that PIE had any intention of lifting a finger to remove this stain from their own event. Had we believed they would, we ourselves would have made contact. But as the ceremony continued and the 'surprise' turned out not to be that PIE was going to mount some sort of offense against the Fractioneers, but rather that they were going to give door prizes, we knew there was little chance of that.
When Guardsman Schaeffer recieved the first ship, he spoke what was on his mind. What was, of course, on all our minds in the Vanguard and I dare say on those of a few others gathered there. Milady added her own words, which of course Archbishop treated with the same tactic PIE was treating the Fractioneers: Ignore it and keep with the schedule.
The Khanid Provincial Vanguard, as a whole, now begins to question PIE's effectiveness in the Reclamation. While they were once a great ally in that cause, and arguably are responsible for more good than any other Amarr corporation in that regard. However in the present all they seem to do is what they have done here: Talk of glories past.
The glories of the past are smeared by the insults in the present which PIE does not refute adequately. Such is the shame. * Jakiin Torash Holder Heir of the Kingdom Chief Diplomatic Officer

PIE has always been serious about combating real threats to the Empire and the Amarrian way of life.
It's why we not only belong to the militia but also have a track record of maintaining wars against a number of targets.
However, the Star Fraction are a long way from providing such a threat.
If the Khanid Provinicial Vanguard wishes to co-operate with PIE in the future, I suggest that discussing such matters privately in a calm and rational manner rather then throwing public hissy-fits is the way to do it.

Brother Jakiin,
I believe a moment of remembrance is intended for warriors fighting a continual war to not focus on killing, but to focus on the costs of war, our losses, instead.
During the ceremony I was completely prec-occupied with the losses my own family suffered during the attack on Mekhios. My grief was to intense to even think of monitoring other channels during the ceremony and I certainly not to shout with enthousiasm about the glories of the Empire.
At the conclusion of the ceremony I undocked and visited Mekhios itself for a private moment of remembrance there, shared with ms. Dougans. I ignored the enemies I encounter and only after honoring the dead and my ancestors properly would I start to think of war. I will not let my enemies dictate my timetable if at all possible.
Which leads me to what I believe is an oversight in Vanguard intelligence. I don't believe sufficient firepower was available. Besides mutual hostiles in the Star Fraction, of which some were waiting one system beyond Amarr to hide their true strength, I counted a significant number of ships only hostile to PIE. These ships were fitted for sniping and carried copious amounts of Radar ECM. It is my estimation that a engagement right outside the station would likely have resulted in a bloodbath.
I can only say that the Star Fraction chose an excellent time for their momentary war declaration. Either they would defile the moment of remembrance by spilling the blood of thousands of loyal crew or they would defile it by defaming the Empire on public channels during the ceremony. In short: a win-win situation.
The biggest impact on me during the ceremony was made by admiral Grr, who spoke in length about a subject I would suggest the Vanguard study it at more length. ____

I am sure you know as well as anyone the power of words. Though the Fractioneers have long erred on the side of quantity rather than quality, their ability to appear unchallenged in the heart of the Empire, at the heart of one of your own events, deals as much damage to the Empire as any battle fleet.

We have no such intentions towards PIE at the current time. Our opinion was made public by your own transcription, and so we felt the need to elaborate. Deride this if you will, but if this is a 'hissy fit' then your response is blind arrogance.

Your actions, Lord Merdaneth, are not on what I speak. I speak on those of PIE, an organization to which you no longer belong and so my issues with them are not directed at yourself.
