I think the war started when you bible thumping nuts started stealing men, women, children, and whole families, and then proceed to sell them off into slavery, separating children from mothers, brothers from sisters, husbands from wives.

The trick is not who can strike first and catch their enemy off guard, but who can show restraint, favour will be shown by the rest of the cluster to those who have war brought upon them by force, not by choice.

You know, even by this definition the Ammatar would still be race-traitors.

The "war" started when your precious Empire came and ripped us from our homes and put a forced and violent end to our peaceful nation. Until all Matari are dead or free of your people's grasp, the war will never truly be over.

You can't have it both ways. You either want peace, in which case you should be looking to make whatever concessions are neccessary for it to happen, or you want to conquer the Republic, in which case you don't get to whine about treaties.

The battlefield changed with the signing of the peace-treaty. The real war never ended, and that war is the war for the freedom of our people, all our people.

Andreus said all that needed to be said about the true nature of the Amarrian "religion". Bravo.

I'd just like to say one thing to you imperials; if you attempt to launch a full-scale "reclaiming" you'll fail and your failure will ultimately lead to the demise of your civilization. With the vast size of your military there's no doubt that you could defeat the Republic in a one on one confrontation. However, the cost to do so would be extraordinarily high. What would remain of your resources would be spread so thinly that you'd be vulnerable to attack by the other empires, from criminal groups like the Angels or, terrorists like the Blooders, EoM, Nation, etc. The aftermath of an attack and attempted subjugation of the Matari would make your defeat at Vak'Atioth look like a debutante ball as all of your old enemies rose up simultaneously to finish off what was left of your empire. This would be a best case scenario. More likely, however, the Federation would join us against you and your Caldari allies and plunge the entire cluster into a war that would decimate humanity.

Consider your next actions well, imperials. If not for the sake of the rest of us who resist you then, for the very survival of your civilization.

We're not the ones looking to start a "new reclaiming", Blake. You need to point that quote out to your marginally sane empress and whoever is running House Sarum now.
