The Empress arrived for the transfer of the TES Auctoritas at the station in Safizon when a fleet of several hundred drifters appeared and doomsdayed her Titan, destroying it instantly.
They then immediately destroyed her escape capsule.
Her Imperial Majesty is dead.

The Scope is reporting that her condition is unknown. It is not the first time she's assumed dead only to resurface.
I will remain skeptical that this is the last New Eden has seen of her. |

More correct broadcasting would only say that the ship believed to be carrying the empress was destroyed. Anything else is sensationalization. |

Astonishing news.
If it proves true that the Empress has indeed been killed, then my condolences are offered to the Amarr Empire in their grief.
Humanity has won its battle. Liberty now has a country.

It is a sad day. Even if The Empress is alive there are still thousands who have lost their life. I hope this is a wakeup call to those who still underestimate the Drifters as a threat.

It is a sad day indeed, I was present at the time... We had no time to react.
But we must not loose faith, God is greater than The Drifter demons! Amarr is greater than a single death!
We shall overcome this...
but for now, we mourn. |

Yeah, now might be a good time for the powers that be to speak up, considering one fourth of them just got melted in a single shot.

This is very, very sad day...whole Empire mourn our beloved Empress who was martyred by those Drifter demons.
But day of reckoning with Drifters will come, and than: "The Lord loosed upon them his fierce anger All of his fury and rage. He dispatched against them a band of Avenging Angels" - The Scriptures, Book II, Apocalypse 10:1
I pray this day comes soon!
"I will not hesitate when the test of Faith finds me, for only the strongest conviction will open the gates of paradise. My Faith in you is absolute; my sword is Yours, My God, and Your will guides me now and for all eternity."

Then she's proven herself unfit to be Empress, and everything Max says she is.
As for The Scope: those of us on-field saw the pod get hit. Bets on it being tougher than the Seraph? |

About time.
Burn in whatever hell is reserved for your kind, Sarum.
Despite that, Drifters cannot be ignored if they can simply get to one of the most heavily guarded people in all of New Eden. Let us hope they do not plan on sending all of us to that same place. |

I mourn the loss of those countless lives of crew lost. And while I hold little affection for the Empire or its leadership, I find it would be distasteful to decry them at this moment.
That said, I do think it speaks volumes that the Drifters exfiltrated immediately upon the pod's destruction. There is obviously much we have not been told about goings-on within the highest echelons of Amarrian military leadership that led to this event.

A sad event, and an omen of a nasty future.
Not so much from the Drifters, I think. They've been found all over but contained their main combat operations to Amarr space. Looks like they smelled something rotten and are trying to figure out the extent of contamination.
No, the fear lies in the idiocy that will be done in religious fervor by the Empire. Empress Jamyl was if anything a moderating influence; I fear in grief and rage the Imperial Pendulum will swing too far the other way and catch billions in its path. |

Then lead. Become the strongest beacon in the cosmos. Is hard to stop a pendulum, bit at the hight of the swing, even a small tap can change its direction greatly. But that moment is brief.... |

A gallery of events for anyone who was not present to witness the Empress's passing. We have given credit for those images our own camera drones did not capture.
We are filled with sorrow to have captured the exact moment Bishop Alizebeth Amalath's heart broke, today.

I have picked up on some bits and pieces of phrases in ancient vernacular over the years, mainly from archeological work.
The term that would apply here at this point is "it's on".
The action was carried out a if it were a personal vendetta. The best and worst times to be a capsuleer are upon us.

In light of earlier events, where it turned out she was not dead after all, I took the liberty of asking one of my locator agents if they could trace her presence. Let me directly quote my agent:
"She is at Chaven VIII - Moon 1 - Imperial Academy station in the Chaven system, Parud constellation of Domain region."
I guess we will have to wait for either a official confirmation of her dead or a new Minmatar invasion for her to come around.

Search and rescue... at a station? At the distance the TES Seraph was from the Amarr Navy facility, and lifepods for the crew have long-since docked. |

Given that there were only about ten seconds between the Drifters' arrival on grid and the Seraph's destruction, I'd estimate that only people who were right next to the lifepod doors when the proximity alarm sounded would even have had time to get in them, let alone initiate the launch sequence - and that's being generous enough to assume that the Seraph's XO even had time to set Condition One throughout the ship.
For comparison, the reason so many survivors were rescued from the Shiigeru was because its demise had been forseen many minutes in advance, giving a lot of the crew enough time to complete evacuation proceedures.
