Considering the problems of Kameira soldiers and units being openly available on capsuleer markets, becoming lost or disenfranchised from the Empire by capsuleer ineptitude and neglect, and the event of aforementioned individuals and units coming under the employ/unwilling control of parties/entities not of Imperial origin and/or hostile to the Empire, it falls under Praetorian responsibility to take efforts to secure authority over Kameiras that have been separated from their normal duties by capsuleer involvement and to return them to work befitting the nature of such servants of God and Empire. PIE representatives will identify groups of Kameiras that are inappropriately utilized by other capsuleers, negotiate (as appropriate) for their release to PIE jurisdiction, and induct them directly into the allianceGÇÖs ground forces. Considering alliance involvement in the CONCORD Emergency Militia War Powers Act Amarr/Minmatar warzone, Kameira units that fall under the PIE banner shall be utilized to secure Amarrian civilian settlements and assets within the warzone and ensure they are protected from the growing threat of clone and conventional ground forces employed by the Tribal Liberation Force, their contractors and their associates. This will be achieved by deploying set numbers of Kamieras to conflict zones in order to act as special op supplement forces to baseliner military forces and to provide additional training to such forces. PIE Kameira forces will also be tasked with providing/distributing material aid to affected civilian populations and to directly protect said populations when they come under attack.

// - Phase 1: Acquisition of Kameira Units

Amarrian agents often contract capsuleers to transport goods, equipment and personnel that are vital to the functioning of their respective corporations and the Empire at large. These contracts sometimes include the transportation of Kameiras to various postings around the cluster. Regrettably, not all capsuleers fulfill the contracts and will keep the Kameiras in effective limbo within their own hangars, or will 'sell' the rights to transport them (their original destinations long forgotten) to other capsuleers who have no business retaining ownership of them. As the Empire's preeminent independent loyalist capsuleer organization, it is PIE's solemn duty to re-secure these units of Kameiras, re-induct them to the Imperial fold and utilize them to the best effect for the good of Greater Amarria and her subjects. The re-securing phase of this task shall be accomplished by designating several of our members to cost-effectively purchase Kameiras found on the capsuleer markets either on contracts or the standard goods exchanges, request that capsuleers who have Kamieras in their possession to come forward and offer them to us as a donation or at a fair price, and by identifying capsuleer groups and individuals that inappropriately hold Kameiras for their own purposes and to negotiate for their release and/or pursue hostile action against them when appropriate and with the Admiralty's EXPRESS approval.

// - Phase 2: Induction of Kameira Units into the Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris

Due to several complications and legal barriers concerning the interaction of CONCORD regulations and Imperial law, it is often impossible for Kameiras that have been caught up in the capsuleer markets to return to active duty at their original postings. Because of this, said units will have to fall into our own sovereignty as a capsuleer organization. New acquisitions must be medically and psychologically screened, inquisitioned for any potential heresies that may have arisen during their time away from the Empire, and then educated on the nature of their current legal status and a future within PIE. Should the Kameiras decline recruitment by PIE, as decided by their commanding officers, they shall be allowed to pursue whatever endeavor they wish so long as it does not indirectly or directly conflict with the Empire's interests. Should they accept, the Praetorian Oath shall be administered and they will fall under the normal rules associated with baseliner staff of PIE with special provisions that accommodate for the unique nature of Kameira fighting units.

// - Phase 3: Deployment of Kameira Units to the CEMWPA Warzone

PIE's primary concern as an organization for the past five years has been participating in the 24th Imperial Crusade. As this theatre of war is subject to intense fighting both in space and, more recently, upon the planets and installations within each system, there have been many egregious examples of civilian collateral damage and even direct assaults upon Imperial populaces by unscrupulous TLF commanders and the clone soldiers they employ. This is a state of affairs that cannot be allowed to stand, and with the induction of Kameira units into PIE comes the opportunity for the alliance to put these fighting men and women to a most righteous and noble task in protecting and aiding civilians caught in this most ignoble war. Kameiras are specialized forces that generally do not operate in massed battalions but instead act as support for larger, more standardized militaries. As such, PIE Kameiras will be deployed in small units across the breadth of the warzone EXCLUSIVELY where Imperial civilian populations are located. They will then be attached to the already present baseliner elements of the Imperial Guard, Imperial Navy, Holder-held militaries, planetary defense forces, and, if necessary, civilian police forces and militias, that have already been tasked with the protection of Amarrian civilians. The Kameiras will act as force multipliers and trainers to these armed groups which are often under-manned and out-gunned by their attackers. When no active threat from enemy forces is present, the Kameira units will double as an aid organization, securing, transporting and distributing relief supplies to war-affected civilian populations that are suffering from the destruction and disruption of the normal infrastructure in the area.

Guess I should post here, before someone reports me to PIE for *Holding Kameira's against their will*

There's indeed Kameiras aboard the Arcology Project, but they are employed by high ranking Amarr. The majority of them are under employment of a renowned Amarr scientist noble who assists our research into the Oura M Syndrome.
The other Kameiras have been assigned as bodyguards for various high ranking Amarr aboard the Arcology Project, assuring their safety. Concerns of possible heresy should be none, as the Arcology Project houses an Amarr Preacher to satisfy their spiritual needs.

This program is being presented in its entirety to the population of Kameiras that have come under our jurisdiction after the attempted exploitation of unscrupulous agents. Those who wish will assisted with all means to take advantage of this offer. It is not our intention to comment or concern ourselves with how we may be perceived in this matter but only to offer to those in our care an opportunity that they may wish to take of their own accord. As a matter of accountability, we will report our activity here should any transfers be made.

Kameiras are soldiers, not servants. They are good for one thing and one thing only: killing. They are good at killing people in wide range of techniques. There's spotting for artillery, long range sniping, medium range automatic fire, CQB, hand to hand; I'm sure you get the idea. They are not for bringing someone wine, peeling grapes, waving a fan, or any of that other bullshit that worthless Minmatar slaves should be used for.

I do not recall saying that they waved fans or did the work of servants. Anyone who is familiar with who I am knows they are used as military personnel and treated in the highest martial regard.

I do not find it appropriate to discuss my business in public. Nor is your tone, Kameira. If you wish to make your point, you would do well to remember your place. Your disrespecting a holder, especially on the IGS, does not seem to be in the traditions of PIE, unless they have stooped to coarse words and ignorant hostility regarding unfounded assumptions, as well as directly insulting my charges, which in turn is a direct insult to myself. If so I shall be greatly surprised.

However, I highly doubt that is the case. I shall assume this will not happen again, and will grant grace.

My offer to PIE still stands if they require reinforcements.

You're taking a lot of offense at a rather innocuous and bland statement, sir.

He's Amarr. It's in their blood to take offence and be tyrannical and such.

Your ignorance is astounding.

All Kameiras who have forsaken their oaths and refused service to Further Foodstuffs and other legal Amarrian corporations (as the Disciples of Ston/Molok have alleged) have not only forfeited their lives but stand utterly condemned before a holy and righteous God. Such traitorous Kameiras ought to suffer the most exemplary punishment imaginable GÇö to be blooded alive, one by one in front of their peers GÇö and the holoreel of their punishment must be played before all Kameiras everywhere so that they understand that God Himself commands their service to Further Foodstuffs (and the rest) and the punishment for those who derelict such duty is the punishment for those whom God has given over to destruction GÇö ritual blooding without mercy.

That the Empire does not do this is yet more evidence of its slide into liberalism. Amen. Amarr Victor.

So in other words, Kameiras who grow tired of killing for a zealous theocracy that views them in much the same regard as one might view a well trained slaverhound, can become freelance mercenaries, rejoin their ancestral people and live as free individuals within the Minmatar Republic, or if their conditioning allows, even set aside their violent pasts and enjoy a life of peace and prosperity within the Gallente Federation.

ritual blooding without mercy.

Is the letting of blood a prescribed punishment in traditional Amarrian culture, according to the scriptures? I did a smart search of my copy of the annotated Compact Scriptures (clearly I don't have access to the whole thing), and I found a lot of mention of bloodletting, but never as a deliberate punishment for transgression. Am I missing something in the interpretation, or is this in a more obscure portion of the body of work? Or is this heterodoxy?

I'm sorry for the questions, but I'm not sure whether I should be classifying Mr Nauplius as orthodox or Sani Sabik.

Once again the Amarr Empire shoots itself in the foot with it's own hardline zealotry, and once again the Federation stands ready to welcome those affected and offer a chance at a fresh start and a better life within a culturally diverse progressive society that is "the only true democracy in New Eden".
