An Ammarrian Journey
It was with great humility and excitement I found myself undocking my Impairor for the first time. Never before had I had the "keys" as it were to my own vessel before. Years had passed since I had left the Khanid, for the Imperial Academy. While my graduation with honors was never in doubt, I had such a feeling restlessness the last 2 months felt as though they might not come to an end. Much training and work had gone into this day. My parent's and our clergy had warned me multiple time's about the godlessness and debauchery that awaited me outside of my previous surroundings. I no longer look at that heeding as baseless. As I undocked I was immediately surrounded by the sounds of gunfire. A monstrosity appeared before me, looking more like the ruins of a once fine vessel as it fired on a fellow graduates Impairor. In a moment of cowardice, I warped my vessel the nearest gate to escape the entire scenario. In little more than 2 minutes I had witnessed first hand the barbaric acts of my new cold hard reality. I tired to bargain with myself with justification for running. "They obviously wouldn't have listened to reason", or "They would have simply shot my barely armed vessel to." I should have attempted to stop the violence, or at least learn of it's reason. Clearly while I received an amazing education courtesy of the Empire, I am still unprepared for my duties. I need to arm myself with the Religious and Martial knowledge to survive in New Eden on my own. It's time to carry forth the work of God through all means necessary, and to what ever end is in his plan for me.

Congratulations on your recent graduation.
Don't worry too much about your reactions. Until you've honed your combat effectiveness, keeping your warp engines prepped is probably the best way to go.
There are many here who are willing and able to assist in your further education. Should your path lead you home to Khanid, drop me a line.
May God continue to light your path.

Always remember to be God fearing and righteous, because heresy and evil finds it way to even noblest of hearth, if it purity is not safeguarded. As your wealth and notoriety increases, more doors will open before you. Vast majority of these opening paths leads to the corruption and spiritual ruination. Also remember, snakes are at the midst of so called loyalists. Watch the world with both eyes open, and do not fear to contact to the more enlightened, if you face moral dilemmas.
This beginning. This birth of life. This dawn of greatness. I can not fail, for I have the Emperor to lead me and destiny to follow. undefined |

With great delight it seems I have stumbled upon a way that I may prepare myself for what lies ahead. I have decided the most prudent course of action is to prepare myself with the knowledge of Gods word first. My training as a man of the cloth has begun. What better way to heed the warnings of other more knowledgeable pilots than myself than to begin an earnest education into God's holy word? I plan to devote the next several months to learning as much as I can in order to become the weapon of knowledge that clearly is so desperately needed in these harsh times. Their is an ancient fable that says in essence "People are inherently good, and the world is worth fighting for." I am not prepared to make judgements about people in broad strokes, but I am inclined to agree with the latter part of that statement. As such I have applied to the Defensores Fidei seminary school, and with much joy in my heart have been accepted. I am sure my parents will be most proud to learn I have been accepted to the only Amarrian seminary school in New Eden.
As a side note I was contacted by several agents of the Imperial Academy not long after writing my first entry. They have been most gracious in helping to hone my Martial and general piloting skills in general. Providing me with spare vessels, books of knowledge in various subjects and of course raw ISK. It seems I can provide for my meager needs at this time which is of great relief to me. Today I completed several tasks using a probe launcher. I was unaware of the existence of various sites hidden to the naked eye. It seems this universe while horribly dangerous, is also overflowing with so many wonders. Who else but God could have created such a masterpiece? Tomorrows task involves combat training. I am excited and apprehensive at the same time for what lies ahead in these next trials.
As to the words of warning and encouragement provided by my readers. I can't express my gratitude in words fully to you. A simple Thank You will have to suffice until I can find a way to repay your kindness. Go with God brothers.

Good luck to you in CVA ranks. Always remember that your duty is to murder me if you meet me. Also you must plunder our stores and stocks whenever you have opportunity and also my industrial oriented members are your targets of opportunity.
Altough some of my brothers and sisters in CVA are just and righteous, you are surrounded by madmen. Be vigilant.
This beginning. This birth of life. This dawn of greatness. I can not fail, for I have the Emperor to lead me and destiny to follow. undefined |

An amazing past couple days friends. A particular agent of our benevolent Imperial Academy has seen fit to teach me the basic facets of combat. I was given an executioner class frigate and armaments to learn these skills in. My first goal was simply to find a group of known pirates calling themselves the Blood Angels. They were not the most secretive of foes, firing upon me for no apparent reason other than being in their line of sight it seems. I was appalled by their actions to say the least. I even attempted to hail them on the comm system before firing, yet they refused to take the communication. I admit I was more than nervous when I engaged the pulse lasers I was given, never before I had I been faced with such sheer disregard for another life. I can only conclude these are some of the most wicked and godless people in the system. As such I am most pleased with the might of the ship I was given. It cut through their defenses in what seemed like seconds, and as I watched the first of their ships explode I will say I felt just doing this. I exhausted all ways for diplomacy before returning fire.
Even more amazingly I was sent after this same group of miscreants a further nine times. To think of how much wickedry their must be in this universes makes me shudder. Every time I re-engaged them they upped their defensive strategy or numbers. At one time I was engaged by six of these criminals at once, and my executioner held strong. It is amazing what the empire can accomplish militarily, being able to send one capsuleer to face a horde of deviants and knowing the machinery will do the job. Not long into this morass of combat the Imperial Academy saw fit to give me an even more amazing ship. I was given a Punisher class frigate with even more weapons and modules to fit to my new ship. As good as the executioner was, the Punisher put me into a whole new class of targets I could handle. Regardless of the enemy, or his numbers the Punisher made quick work of them and even more impressive was how well its defensive systems handled their weaponry. A truly amazing machine.
I am left with a bit of a moral query though. After the first engagement I never did attempt to hail my targets again. Sometimes I even shot first, before they could target me. I wonder if this is the most prudent course of action. The wordly side seems to think I probably made the best decision, as I seemed to be dealing with base creatures devoid of intellect in all but carnal subjects. The Godly side says to me I should have tried harder to reach these poor souls, clearly in such need of guidance. I am a bit torn in two over the matter. On one hand I know there are those who will only see Gods light by the barrel of a pulse laser, yet even amongst the most weak of Gods creatures some must exist who could be taught and enlightened. Obviously there is still so much to learn, walking that line as a man of the cloth while still wielding terrible power. I pray God teaches me to hold my hand to the last, and gives me the strength that when such power must be used to do so with reckless abandon.

Lord Vaari,
Just because your head is home to a naked singularity does not mean the galaxy spins around you.
Brother Nor, congratulations again. You have found a good, true Path and you stand among some of the best people the Empire has to offer.
May God continue to light your way.
