Does this mean the amarrians now have to say Hail Emperor Maximillian Singularity the VI First is his Name?

I'll take this particular comment as an excuse to say something to all Imperial capsuleers.
I have no reason to mourn for Jamyl Sarum, but I won't speak ill of her at this time. I understand your grief, even if I don't share in it. But I urge you - remain calm. Do not panic or lash out. The Drifters strength lies as much in their unity of purpose as in their technology. New Eden cannot be united in leadership, but to effectively combat this bizarre and mysterious threat we will need to be similarly united in purpose. The Drifters demonstrated today that they possess unspeakable power - they can simply walk into a system and assassinate one of the most powerful individuals in the cluster cooly, calmly, without any fanfare or grandstanding and leave as quickly as they came.
This is not Sansha Kuvakei who would clog up local with badly-written, self-aggrandizing novellas. This is not something that can be threatened, or intimidated, or even communicated with in any meaningful way. They do not fear the Imperial Navy, nor apparently do they fear capsuleers or even death itself. They are not something that can be opposed with our current technology without horrendous rates of attrition. As it currently stands - as was aptly demonstrated today - if they wish to destroy something, they will destroy it.
Faith in God alone will not stop the Drifters. I'm sorry to say it but if you wait around for God to deliver you from this threat, there'll be no-one left to save. If you wish to honour your God, to honour the Empire, to honour the memory of your Empress, search for weaknesses. Fight alongside the other pilots of New Eden. If you possess scientific acumen, search for answers to the Drifters' terrible technological power.
We must all hang together, or we will asuredly hang seperately.

The only answer, Gallentean, is their utter destruction. We shall purge them from the cluster, along with any who stand in our way...

I couldn't have said it better myself, Andreus. Thank you.
I am receiving conflicting reports regarding the events that transpired regarding the Empress' body. The official narrative was originally that the Tyrannos took it, but I have heard from several pilots who were within a few kilometers of the engagement that a neutral frigate scooped it and retreated. Can anyone confirm either way?
If a capsuleer holds the body, they are in possession of arguably the most coveted object in the cluster, but will also be the most hunted individual in recent memory.

No, I'm not that kind of doctor.

Sentiments and veiled threats like this help no-one. Either the cluster co-operates and we find some way to push back the Drifters, or we fight each other and they win.
The choice really is yours. If you choose to turn against the only potential allies you might have in this fight, you have doomed not just yourself, not just the Empire, but the entire cluster. The Drifters have demonstrated that they do not know fear. They can slip past any defence as if it were not there. They can obliterate even the largest capital ships without only a token effort. They have the manufacturing capacity to turn out thousands of ships that are more than a match for any ship currently available to capsuleers in New Eden. Even if they fall their superweapon allows them to destroy subcapital ships that oppose them on a nearly 1-for-1 loss ratio. This is not something the Empire can fight simply by throwing everything they have at it - and you certainly can't afford to be starting wars with the rest of the cluster, either.

It was our Empress who was slain, look to your own borders Gallentean. The Empire will no longer defend against the Drifter threat, we will take the fight to them. God wills it!

Considering the usual goings on regarding ascension and the kind of people in and out of power involved who will want to take over the throne, I think the biggest immediate threat to the Empire is not Drifters at this time.

How, precisely?
You have no idea where they base from. Every single fight the Empire has gotten into with them has resulted in horrific losses even if the Drifters were eventually chased off - I should know, I helped out during one such incursion. Bar today's events, all Drifter incursions thus far seem to have been probing exercises with no clear goal other than to test responses. Once the Drifters formulated a clear goal - in this case, the death of your Empress - its execution took less than a minute. Jamyl was already dead before Afod Hokshmi issued orders acknowledging their presence, and gone before the Imperial Navy could respond. Note that they didn't even defeat your defence fleet - they ignored it.
Blindly throwing yourself at the Drifters out of rage and bravado is sheer vanity and will avail you nothing, much less the rest of the cluster.

Your empire can feel free to shoot blindly into space in all directions. Can you say exactly where they are? Then how can you bring this fight to them? Information's kinda important, and you don't seem to have any.
Good luck...

Cowardice? I'm ready to fight the Drifters if a tactic that doesn't involve clogging their guns with the wrecks of our ships is suggested. As for the Empire's "mighty war machine" - well, the best it's done so far is lose tens of thousands of crewmen and one Empress to the Drifters while inflicting no significant losses upon them.
And let me respond to "if you aren't with us, you're against us" by informing you that that mentality will only gain you more enemies in a time when you sorely need friends.

I wasn't thinking of pledging allegiance to the Empire. It simply seems as the Drifters are presently the greater threat to all the cluster, and joint effort is called for. Who would call the meeting of the nations?
