My friends and fellow pilots,
I come before you today to tell you all of a crime most foul. A crime that truly strikes at the very hearts and minds of all pilots here in New Eden. We are a immortal race, forever moving forward due to the advent of clone technology, but we must always remember that life is still fleeting and precious.
Azia Burgi realized this and over three years ago built the EVE Cemetery, a massive graveyard dedicated to memorializing the fallen. It was considered one of the sites to visit by you and other pilots when traversing the various regions, indeed many commented that it was one of the wonders of New Eden.
This dream came to an end just over two years ago, when members of anarchist alliance of Goonswarm destroyed the EVE Cemetery in a fit of pure stupidity and childish tantrums. An action that they further denigrated by actually ransoming off the bodies of the interred to their current personages and then when not paid the ransom, destroying them on public vid feed.
New Eden mourned the loss and indeed its founder and sole caretaker, Azia, wept.
In a show of pure selflessness and tenacity Azia picked up the pieces and started again. She was determined that the fallen would have a place to sleep, a monument to their works and efforts in New Eden. A place where their current personages could come and contemplate their own lives. When it went online it was once again heralded as one of the wonders of New Eden.
In the two years Azia has managed to more the double the original size of the cemetery, a sign that the greater majority of New EdenĘs pilots saw the place as sacred. Those that visited commented that it was an amazing site and indeed the movers and shakers of New Eden even donated their own corpses to be interred.
Now this great work, this monument to the fallen, this sacred site to our deeds, our suffering, our blood and tears has once again been targeted by the foul anarchist movement known as the Goonswarm. Again these terrorists, for that is what they truly are, have targeted one of New EdenĘs most harmless pilots and her monument to your deeds, your efforts to make New Eden yours.
I humbly come before you all to beseech your aid in protecting this wonder of New Eden from these terrorists and to lend your arms to destroy the Goonswarm wherever they may be.
The Cemetery itself sits in Molea 2 Moon 1 and the war-dec was filed today at 1330hrs New Eden common time.
I ask you all to please set aside your differences for a short while, to stand shoulder to shoulder with each other, to direct your arms not against each other but against the fanatics of Goonswarm and show them that this type of action will not be permitted in New Eden.
Your humble servant,
