Greetings all,
As many of you know there are numerous groups and divisions that dedicate themselves in some way, shape or form in order to preserve the Amarrian way of life and its peoples. Many of these groups by force of arms give diligent service in this respect, and through their efforts have won great fame across the realm of EVE. The way of the sword has done much to ensure that the peoples of the Empire stay safe from the ravages of foreign affairs, and it is only through the self sacrifice of our pilots can any modicum of peace and tranquillity be preserved.
The works of these great groups such as the Aegis Militia and the Curatores Veritatis Alliance have made their mark, and it is something that all within our lands our thankful for.
The Royal Fleet Auxiliary has since its creation mere days ago elected to take on a different path in order to serve the Amarrian Empire. Despite the call to war against the many foes of the empire, the need for trade and logistical necessity is a resource that has largely been maintained as a secondary concern in order to feed the war effort throughout the paramilitary groups. Trade and industry, the lifeblood of civilisation are factors that have been relegated by many, with few loyalist groups willing to take on the mammoth task of shipping ammunition, food and supplies across the four corners of the Imperium. The Auxiliary has taken on this challenge, focussing its members to live their lives as they see fit and operate in close harmony to ensure the necessary transportation needs are fulfilled.
The numbers that comprise the auxiliary are not merely limited to those of Amarrian heritage, infact all are welcome who have fostered a good relationship to the Empire and itÆs peoples. Past transgressions are of little concern for us, the sins of yesterday are forgiven and forgotten for those who wish to embrace a more peaceful way of life. From great champions of conflict to the lowest of the low, all are offered sanctuary should they prove loyal to the cause of preserving the EmpireÆs needs.
Though some including myself are no stranger to conflict and death, we are not warriors like our esteemed brothers in field. We hold no grudge, no loathing for those who have through misguided delusions fought tooth and nail to bring down this great nation. To the outcast we offer safety and purpose, to the misguided and the wrathful we extend our arm in peace. In these early days of the Auxiliary and for those under my command I ask both friend and foe to consider these matters, in order to perceive the possibility of peace across all nations.
If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them.

Welcome to the Maelstrom.
A serious question though: are RFAUX operations primarily internal to the Empire or will you engage in import/export also? You mentioned the four corners of the 'Imperium' but I wonder if you will go beyond them.

A fair question Cosmopolite.
Of course, trade and industry will not be purely limited to the Imerium. Although the needs of the Empire must and will be the primary concern of the auxiliary including the support of her allies, efforts will be made to promote further works further afield. A series of bases are under construction to allow corporate affiliates to be able to perform their labours across many areas, even across other nations such as throughout the Caldari state. As a primarily non-combative group we do not encourage any possible public view of our numbers being a military force. This means that any dealings that we chose to partake in will not be overshadowed with any underlying concerns with business associates.
We are considering our current position at this time, and so are researching foreign associations with similar interests in order to initiate diplomatic relations.

To Lucca, your offer is most appreciated, I am sure we can find a place for you if you express a wish for it.
To Ardor, although I do not believe we've met in person I am well aware of your extensive presence within similar matters of politics. Those that chose to enlist within the Auxiliary are answerable to it's command group, and shall be dealt with as necessary should any issue contrary to the group charter arise. For the most part it is a simple matter, we do not welcome those who wish to prey on others, a ruling that can be addressed promptly when required. Responsability is a matter we take very seriously, make no mistake on that.

Ah, paramilitary, referring to an ARMED group yes?
Perhaps it is your view that mining barges, trade vessels and similar craft are suitably denotable as weapons of war?
Now, far be it from me to note upon the obvious and fundamentally flawed reasonings going on infront of what is obviously an inflamitory comment, but if you must try to cause a disturbance in this otherwise civil line of communication then go for something more suitable. Tano of the Ushra'Khan managed to portray his peers admirably, perhaps you are not up to the task?
If for some reason my misguided friend you still believe the auxiliary to be a mighty war machine of the despicable and evil oppressive Amarrian monsters, perhaps now would be an elequant time to note that many of your own countryman serve within its ranks.
Now, go away and study common sense like a good lad.

Listen Amarr,
At least I dont try and delude people with illusions. For one thing, I stick to reality. Reality is, you are a Pod Pilot. It is our nature to conduct warfare and industry. And by proclaiming yourselves to one of the Empires patsies someone is gonna be shooting at you.
And you expect others to defend you?
<looks into the screen with his cold Detietis eyes>
The universe is a cold and unforgiving place. You will arm yourselves to murder others. It is an unavoidable truth out here. So you are a paramilitary group regardless of what name you choose to call yourselves. So do not insult my intellegence by trying to sidestep around the issue, because I am certain your eggers will not roll over and let themselves be attacked and slaughtered with the hope that someone will come "rescue" them.
And one more thing,
Do not assume that I think of the Amarr as "evil monsters". You are placing your own sterotype on yourself.

I look forward to conducting business with you Holder Tellen. Please contact me with a list of your products/services. I know we could definitely use them.
You've also gained a measure of respect for your method of dealing with people, both loyalist and heretic. You are a patriot, a businessman, and a statesman. Hard to find these days.

But perhaps alot cheaper than other options.
Where you get the idea that all pod pilots are paramilitary units I dont know.
PIE and AM are paramilitaries... groups not part of the real military that train like a military unit and follow a military structure.
In its simplest form an independent pocket army.
Just because you arm yourself, however, does not make you a paramilitary.
A merchant fleet works for a differant purpose than a paramilitary, if they must use guns to defend themselves, sobeit... but they dont seek out such situations.
And indeed just because a group works for a government, or raises a government's flag does not make them a paramilitary.
Or would you say that every single Amarran Merchant transport is a part of the Navy?

Do not patronise me on how the world runs Ly'sol, I have served my time in the theatres of war to realise common nature. I have claimed my share of death, stretching past my years of service to PIE and beyond to my service to the now legendary first praetorian guard. I have released my desires to see further wrath in order to embrace a more pure and unsullied service to the Empire and its people, a path that has shown and great promise in the eyes that I have come to admire and respect. Perhaps beyond the snide and witless comments that you so prattle on about Ly'sol you show true cowardice regarding being unable to follow what you so un-eloquently preach?
We are here to ensure that the trade lanes of the Amarr Empire and beyond remain open, as well as to ensure that a peaceful and alternative existence to those who wish to serve the Imperium is at hand. Of course the merchant fleet shall and will bear arms as is the right of any Pod Pilot throughout EVE, and we are MORE then aware that we shall sooner or later attract unwanted attention from more.... nefarious characters.
The status of those within the auxiliary as merchants does not mean that they shall be without defence; we are currently building our own fleet defence force to offer assistance to those merchants who will be travelling through dangerous areas. However, one of the core tenets of auxiliary membership is to remain un-confrontational in the face of continued existence with our pod pilot neighbours. We shall not turn our guns at those that wish us no ill will; such aggressive actions have no place in a group that is predominantly serving aboard merchant vessels. Peace shall and WILL be the order of the day make no mistake, and we shall judge those who greak this most fundamental of laws.
Aside from our own methods at repelling aggressive groups, we shall no doubt have the assistance of those who have similar allegiances to that of the Empire, as well as direct allies in terms of business and friendship. To say that we will be unarmed and unguarded is at best a poor demonstration of thinking and judgement, an issue that I would certainly recommend reconsidering.
Are there any further questions?

Actually, a further point of interest on my part. Are Ly'sol's words representative on behalf of the Jericho Fraction? I would be most interested to see if these indeed are, and whether such obviously imflamitary words have any alternative intent?
I remain intrigued in my corporation's esteemed peer's reply.

No more than mine were. When you get an official Jericho view or statement we make sure you know it. We're individualists who believe in freedom of speech.

Here we go again...
I personally wish to see the destruction of the Gallente Federation no less than I wish to see that of the Empire.
We're not all Gallente and not even those of us that are harbour unvarnished admiration of the Gallente Federation or Gallente 'ideals'.
Some of us, admittedly, do favour Gallentean ways. Others favour the Caldari way. We have Intaki Nationalists and even an Amarrian Patriot (though he is a patriot of the people, not the corrupt Empire).
What we hold in common are certain ideals that by no means originate with any single state, empire or race.

Yet your ideals are not those of Amarr in any way shape or form. They arent really those of Caldari either, and Minmatar ideals are basically Gallente.
So as your particular ideals much more resemble Gallente ideals than any of the other major races... well expect to be called on them.
In fact I would say that your ideals are more liberal than those the Gallente profess.
I would say that calling post-humanists Gallente is probably an insult to the Gallente.
Either way, though both sets of ideals go against the teachings of God and I really don't believe it is possible for a faithful Amarran to understand them fully.
God is with us. |

While perhaps not including ideas from the corrupted religion many Amarr presently follow, I would maintain there are strands of thought from Amarrian political thinkers and historical trends as part of the makeup of our universal philosophy. It's a subject I may expand on at some future date. Suffice to say at the moment I offer that as my opinion. You are free to differ, as no doubt you will.
As to your remarks on other races, well... I leave it to members of those races to comment on such sweeping generalisations. Though, I will say that I don't agree with what you say there.
In any event, I absolutely expect simplistic generalisations from theologically conditioned minds incapable of making nuanced connections between the ideas and philosophies of the various races our species has produced. It is water off a River Flapper's back as far as I'm concerned but I do think it important to correct such views when they are stated.
Speaking purely personally, I would say in some respects I may be more 'liberal' than your average Gallentean and in others I dare say I am wildly illiberal compared to your average Gallentean. You've been conditioned to think in such simplistic patterns as 'Gallentean' equals 'liberal' by years of Imperial and religious propaganda so in all honesty I can bear you no malice for saying such things. Pity suffices.
While it's possibly the case, they would find being called 'posthumanist' insulting, again I leave judgement on that to the Gallente. Anyway, I'm a transhumanist, not a posthumanist, and there is a difference. I won't bore you with it here (I just know it would bore you).
As to your last point... you know, I think we agree on that point. *grins*

*grins*
In time perhaps you will see, amarrian, that under all the rethoric and speeches amarrians and gallentes are quite similar when it comes to organization: at the top there is one leader to conduct the masses, even if how that leader becomes so is of course very different.
They both also have this... taste... for beating other races into submission, again for different official reasons but in practice is the amarrian boot in one case, the gallente in the other, upon other people's neck.
Considering the above... perhaps you will see why Jericho has a certain allure to those that distrust the wisdom of one single leader to conduct all the rest...
...including among those atracted an amarrian (by race) anarchist, and a few Caldari traditionalists as Ly'sol and myself.
No... not gallente ideals, my amarrian friend.
That being said, and duly noticing that discussing the finer points of Empire politics was not the objective of your thread (and apologizing if need be for this detour), I wish you good luck in your venture and profits in your endeavours.

Ahem. You're hijacking the GalNet feed, gentlemen. Please take the debate elsewhere.
Holder Tellen, I've not seen you in-flight for a few days, and I've a mail waiting for you. Please do reply to it, I'm eager for an answer.
