Sarum Prime GÇô In a speech on Mekhios, Royal HeirMerimeth Sarum declared the need to bring an end to the GÇ£tepid victoriesGÇ¥ of the Empyrean War, stating that the GÇ£time to bring the Minmatar back to the fold is upon us once again.GÇ¥ Popular minor holders also spoke, some audaciously dismissing the CONCORD Emergency Militia War Powers Act as being incapable of holding GÇ£the might of the Empire in its holy mission back.GÇ¥ Many holders also claimed to have the support of the Empress, though no official word from the Imperial Palace has confirmed this. Sarum holders who have supported the war thus far are being promised extensive resources from any conquered systems. Holders who were not so enthused about hostilities with the Minmatar are now pledging support. |

He is going to find himself sorely disappointed.
First, it is perhaps too easy to speak so boldly when one does not actually share any borders with the enemy. As someone who actually does, we know better.
Second, he is making a grave error in numbers. While the Golden Fleet is vast in both power and numbers, bringing their entirety of it to bear upon a single foe without leaving far too much of our territory unacceptably vulnerable is simply not feasible.
Third, he is confusing this previously mentioned fleet with his own personal assets. That he would simply assume that the Empress would support him, and more importantly lend him access to the vast amount of Amarr Navy assets that he would require for this undertaking, speaks of a foolhardy level of gall.
Fourth, he is not factoring the capsuleer factor into his accounts. The current failure in the Bleak Lands has not been the failure of the Amarr Navy against the Republic Navy, as for the most part they never seem to come into direct contact with each other. Rather it has been entirely due to the actions of the relatively tiny number of capsuleer forces in the area that obviously carry a weight far greater than their small numbers would seem to indicate. It also clear that in this particular area the number of Republic capsuleers outnumber the number of Amarrian capsuleers by a significant margin. That they have received far more backing from their respective government is also obvious to everyone who takes even a cursory glance at their equipment manifests. This combination of the imbalance of power between capsuleer versus conventional navy, further multiplied by the even greater imbalance between Imperial versus Republic capsuleers, and the further complications in that it is quite obvious that the Republic has spent the last several decades designing all of their ships specifically to destroy ours and the we have done nothing to improve our own ships in compensation...
Sarum is walking a path directly into disaster. If the Empire ever wished to launch an attack against the Republic, it should have done so back when the Caldari/Gallente conflict reached it's peak and we could have more safely pulled assets from the Federation border (at least for a little while). Even then we would have only been able to secure a small number of planets at best, and such small victories only serve to instigate the Republic to even greater levels of terrorism against our people - for when it comes to sheer brutality and mindless bloodlust, well... we call them savages for a good reason.
From a purely practical standpoint, then, any military action that can not promise the complete & absolute conquest of the entire Republic in a very short amount of time would be a pyrrhic victory at best. Nor do I imagine the Jove offering us their assistance at any point in the near future, either.
Also, when considering the racist & genocidal "all Amarrians look alike" attitude that the Republic indoctrinates into their people it is not hard to predict that the Amarrians who suffer the most in terrorist reprisals will not even be Sarum's supporters. Instead it will most likely be the the mothers, children and various innocent people of the Faith who are brutally killed by these terrorists simply because they were closer & easier to get to. People such as everyone living in the Ammatar Mandate, for instance.
Thus I daresay that there are those who do not back Sarum, even if only out of enlightened self interest. He will fail and, in his failure, he shall bring reprisals down up us instead of himself. If he truly believes himself to be superior than his enemies then he perhaps he should begin by exercising a modicum of higher intelligence as opposed to primitive chest-thumping for the sake of his own ego.

The visionaries and idealists are rarely the ones responsible for putting their ideas into practice. That task falls upon the generals and civil servants, who almost universally have a far more realistic view of the situation than those that command them, and upon the soldiers and secretaries who strive underneath them, upon whose efforts the overwhelming majority of responsibility for the practical implementation lies.
Sarum can call for war and glorious Reclaimation all he wants, as can you, and while the undertaking may indeed bring glory - most likely in the form of a spate of noble deaths - it doesn't make it a good idea. Rarely enough do I agree with a wheedling Imperial apologist such as Katherine Devonshire but in this instance her observations are pretty spot-on. Mane 614

Seriously though, It used to be that an Ammater, in public, accusing their Imperial betters of "primitive chest-thumping" would draw some responses from our good loyalists.
Weather her opinions are right or wrong (they are wrong), is less important than the fact she is making them publicly in contradiction to those above her station. If she were truly loyal she would understand this.

Loyalty is not measured in words, but in deeds. So I don't care much what she says, as long as she continues protecting the Empire. It's as simple as that.
As for House Sarum, if it doesn't get an imperial approval from the Empress, then they can call what they want as it won't make a difference. If they do get the approval from the Empress, we'll follow appropriately and join the war. Until the Empress has spoken, then, there isn't much to say or do on this matter.

Merimeth Sarum does not take a Royal sh*t without approval from the Empress.

Enough to keep the slaver scum on the run and force them into desperate measures, such as arming slaves and recruiting drop troops from outside the Empire. Us cadets have demonstrated military prowess equal and in odd cases, greater than your veteran soldiers.
I wouldn't be surprised if we encountered suicide troops pretty soon, every time we engage the Amarr they seem just a little more desperate. |

Actually I am Amarrian. I emmigrated to the Ammatar Mandate around thirty years ago. You, on the other hand, are little more than a Blood Raider. You should consider yourself blessed that I even deign to speak to you at all.
Silas Vitalia wrote:Seriously though, It used to be that an Ammater, in public, accusing their Imperial betters of "primitive chest-thumping" would draw some responses from our good loyalists.
It is spelled "Ammatar." Was it too much effort to look slightly to the left to get even one thing in your little rant correct? What am I saying? Of course it was! Silly me.

It is "whether," not "weather" and if you had half as much brains as delusions of grandeur you would have done your homework first and realized that I am not speaking above my station in the least.
"Imbecile" indeed.
If you & your heretic brethren want to seek your own deaths at the hands of the Republic then by all mean do so, I will not object. The idea of watching blood thirsty barbarians fighting against blood drinking savages does not trouble me in the least.
In the mean time... the Ammatar Navy shall be protecting our borders from both the likes of the Republic and the likes of your kind as well. See Sue Sing |

It wasn't much effort to derail your response to focus on presentation rather than substance.
If my translator is coming in choppy I'm sure we can debug things a bit.
If you'd like to respond to any of the concepts I've presented now would be a good time.
Mainly why you feel qualified as an Imperial loyalist to criticize one of the Royal Houses so harshly in a public forum viewed by your enemies.
And Merimeth Sarum is about as far above your station as it is possible to be in this existence. Sabik now, Sabik forever |

Ignore the braggart, will you? If you are going to answer to every single Matari that chest-beats about the Empire's supposed impotence... well, you do have a havbit of doing so. Can't blame you for that one.
Pilot Flamesight, may I sugjest you spend less time demeaning yourself and more time fighting or looking to do so? This behaviour does not help your cause. Joining with the Minmatar militia on the other hand might make your search for Imperial combatant easier.

It is quite pathetic how a nation can boast racial superiority, and yet rely on other races in order to get by. Kameiras are just another example of how Amarrians struggle against their competitors when put on an equal playing field.
You appear to be mistaken, I am not a Valklear. Even still, I wouldn't be so smug to look down upon them. The Federation locks it's dissidents up away from society where they receive free room and board and drain the resources of the government. The State sends it's undesirables away and makes them somebody elses problem. The Empire simply has them executed or enslaved, an even worse fate.
Our Republic on the other hand chooses to see where each member of society can fit in best, those who have been selected to be Valklears, who are adept at violence and brutality are now serving their country.

I understand psychology quite well actually. I received high marks in the on my exams regarding psychological warfare actually.
It's simple, the Amarr are cowards, cowards run at the first sign of trouble. On the other hand, suicide is the coward's way out. It wouldn't be hard for Amarrian high command to convince their troops that blowing themselves up and taking a few of us with them would get them a special place with their God.

Part of the reason for the Minmatar Military's superiority over the years is that we don't merely send our cadets in after a set period of schooling and training. We have to prove ourselves on the battlefield first, at least those of us striving for higher ranking positions do.
I could take up your advice and join the militia now, though I'd remain a grunt as a result. I'd much rather lead a special operations unit. |

As I've stated, combat scenarios other than skirmishes where we clearly have the upper hand are had to come by when our enemy is so incapable of fighting in the first place. Us Minmatar tend to have a deep understanding of war I'm afraid. The vast majority of us didn't grow up in opulent mansions where we are pampered and spoiled like our adversary appears to have been raised.

If you think that the Amarr never fight, then you've clearly not been following the war too closely.
Take a look at any of the militia's killboards and you will see dozens of fights taking place every day.
When you've been in some of those fights, then you can talk about cowardice. But not before.
And you also seem to be unaware that the tides of this particular war are somewhat fickle. The Amarr have been on top before (despite being severely outnumbered) and will be again. You would do well to remember this if you don't want to appear like an ignorant fool. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |

Oh, true, because the knowledge to fly ships and fight in a war is something carried in the genetics of the Minmatarr race alone or above all, and you are born already warriors. Or maybe not.
Don't fool yourself, pilot Flamesight, war is something you learn only by fighting in it. It's not a pretty lesson, it shouldn't be a fun one, and it certainly is a dangerous path, but it's the only way to learn about war. You don't know them because "you didn't grow up in opulent mansions" (which, by the way, is something that happens elsewhere as well, most amarrians aren't born in such housing either, shocking!), so you don't know them at all. Engage the enemy, kill and die, capture a system. Repeat over and over again. Then you can talk about war, until then you're only an infant crying in its cradle for her mother to hold her.

So I recently got into some actual combat, turns out war and our enemies are a lot different than I thought.
I would like to apologize for overzealous and juvenile statements. I'm still not very fond of you imperials, but it turns out all of the gung-ho propaganda we get filled with is partially incorrect (though your ships are quite reactive to nuclear ammunition).
So yeah, I'm truly sorry members of the IGS, I think I got off on the wrong foot here. |
