MasuatGÇÖaa Matari Red Book
In line with the 10 year celebrations it has been agreed that selected portions of the MasuatGÇÖaa Warrior Code a.k.a the Red Book be declassified and shared. This is given to every recruit on initiation. With this in mind over the coming four weeks these selected portions will be published to the I.G.S. as part information part history, and will hopefully contribute to a wider understanding of -MM- .This second extract concerns the nature of the war against slavery.
The first section can be found here;

The Long War
GÇ£Our revenge will be the laughter of our childrenGÇ¥
The MasuatGÇÖaa is currently engaged in a military effort that has been characterized as the GÇ£long war.GÇ¥ The long war has been described by some as an epic struggle against adversaries bent on forming a unified Amarrian cluster. While the Minmatar bear the brunt of this struggle be clear that the religious imperative behind slavery has only one illogical conclusion and that it the enslavement of ALL. To understand the impacts that this long war will have on the UshraGÇÖKhan, MasuatGÇÖaa and on Freedom Forces in general, it is necessary to understand more precisely what the long war is.
Put simply the long war is a battle of will. This battle has many fronts and while the warriorGÇÖs mind will be foremost on confrontation with the enemy it starts first inside the soul of each of us. To fight the long war you must be prepared.
Be prepared to fight and know how to fight.
Morale
GÇ£War is not only a matter of equipment, resources, group troops or fleet; it is largely a matter of moraleGÇ¥
The long war will see many defeats as well as successes and you must be able to put aside the temptation to revel in the emotions associated with each.
False Hope and False Despair are one and the same. False.
To win the long war means resilience. Victory will come to those who can endure the most.
Be sure that the enemy knows the importance of morale and will attempt to undermine ours at every turn. High morale is the most important quality of a Warrior. It is a quality of mind and spirit, which combines courage, self-discipline, and endurance. It springs from infinitely varying and sometimes contradictory sources, but is easily recognizable.
In time of war, it manifests itself in the Warrior's absolute determination to do his duty to the best of his ability in any circumstances.
Every individual has their part to play in sustaining morale.
War of the flea
GÇ£The guerrilla fights the war of the flea, and his military enemy suffers the dogGÇÖs disadvantages: too much to defend; too small, ubiquitous, and agile an enemy to come to grips with."
To fight the long war the warrior must first understand the concept of the GÇÿlittleGÇÖ or guerilla war. This has come to be known as the war of the flea.
This form of combat has deep roots within the Matari and was used extensively during the Great Rebellion and has been adopted doctrine by both the Republic Fleet and Capsuleer Organisations. It can be seen in the design and purpose of our ships.
Our enemy is large in size, organized, disciplined and capable. However, these attributes can be turned against them. The strategy and tactics of guerrilla warfare focus around the use of a small, mobile force competing against a larger, more unwieldy one.The guerrilla focuses on organizing in small units, striking quickly, as well as taking advantage of space and circumstance more accommodating of small units.
With size and discipline comes slowness. Use this to your advantage. Break into multiple small vectors of attack. Hit and run. Confuse. This is the way.
We Come For Our People.

Put your weapons down for a moment and think. If you continue war, you will spill lots of blood of your people. Is this what you want?
There is always a road to the peace, to preserve your people, your land, your cities. Enough of senseless destruction. Turn yourself to God, and let Him guide you away from unnecessary violence.
Remind me again who was responsible for the Day of Darkness ?
War and Death were brought to us.
We will return it with interest.

You're not returning anything with interest, from what I've seen, all you're doing is laying in more and more debt for your own people. I wonder that they haven't already let you know that they're sick of cashing cheques that you write in their name.
1/3 of my people are enslaved now.
We are coming for them.

Chaos ? How did we ever build one of the most advanced civilizations pre our encounter with the Amarr slave fleets. This sneering you see from outside the tribes is laughable.
So Tribal ! The injustices ! When will they ever be like us ?
We Remain True.

We Remain True. You were so advanced that it took a day to do most of the work required to conquer you.
Oh Rodj, you know better that lasted generations.
I count it a mark of of that Matari civilization that we never enslaved the other races of eve... as would most right thinking people.

We Remain True. If you had one of the most advanced civilizations, you would be masters and they would be slaves.
As I already posted above we don't count as civilized a society that thinks in terms of master and slave.

As I already posted above we don't count as civilized a society that thinks in terms of master and slave. Marus Why? You certainly have had slavery in your far past. Perhaps you've evolved beyond that point now (although Havohej would suggest that you are certainly capable of devolving back in that direction) but you certainly have the concepts within your culture - even before the Amarr could have put them there.
Please feel free to enlighten us on the history of slavery within our culture and it's relevance now.

I, like with the first installment, really enjoyed reading this and look forward to the next. I also found the section on the effects of moral really intreating. The whole thing in general gave me plenty of food for thought. Thanks!
Appreciated.
The 'war of the flea' is as old as warfare itself and the Flea Fleet doctrine appears to have been making headway in the warzone recently.
Given the response the first two installments have had (degeneration into our usual positions in the trenches) the third installment will be an exposition on the meaning of Freedom and Slavery as understood by the Masuat'aa.
My only hope is that the wider audience of the IGS rather than our regulars are getting a better understanding of who we are and why we fight.
