The U'K have used their outposts as bases to launch terrorist attacks against the Empire.
This will not be tolerated.

Originally by: Revan Neferis Returning from vacation and tunning IGS always brings interesting news. Things happening here and there, The Amarr loyalists and the livestock minmatar eating each other for a piece of dead space... how "amusing"
The obstinacy of the indolent and weak is less conquerable than that of the fiery and bold.... Interesting Times.
I'm sure that your other half would be very interested to hear you say that.

Again wanting to presume what my beloved and I discuss in our "private intimate" moments or trying to get a share? Don't even start, you may find yourself in an ackward "position".
Continue to kill yourselves, loyalists and Slaves, both considered to me the same cast of inferior beings. Sani Sabik thank you for the purging.
You should do some research and compare the number of SF pods lost during this campaign with the total number of loyalist pods killed by anyone in QR-K85.
It just strikes me as odd that you would be grateful to us for purging your lover's alliance.

Purging?
Odd kind of purging when the capsuleers in question were repeatedly able to make use of advanced cloning and related transhumanist technologies to rejoin the fight; several, indeed, participating in the destruction of a Revelation class dreadnought flying under the flag of the CVA even after having suffered clone-death.*
I don't say this to try and pretend our losses were meaningless. I am not so foolish as to attempt such legerdemain. I simply say it to refute the notion that anything that could meaningfully be described as a 'purging' of the Star Fraction alliance went on.
The Cosmopolite
* Parts of a certain batch of microwarpdrives performed admirably there, I may say. Some people may overestimate the imperialist sentiments of their workers.
Purging was not my word, I was merely using it in response

You'll need so much more to Purgeanything related to my loved one or myself. You're not even close to see the full show. Problem is, some people entered the wrong theater while my beloved and I were at vacation. There is a much nicer spetacle to be seen than mumified priests and brutor slaves shooting each other for a dead end space. I repeat, my best wishes on blooding each other.
There sure were a lot of SF around last night. I'm surprised that they found the time to come down to Providence in preference to this nicer spectacle elsewhere.
Perhaps you should avoid commenting on events in Providence since you clearly have no idea of what's going on down there.
Maybe you should put your maid's uniform back on and get back to cleaning your mansion in readiness for your party and let the rest of us get on with the serious stuff.

In the matter of motivation for involvement in the defence of Karishal's Defiance we say that we were disposed to respond to a call for help from those who hold to ideals of freedom we would recognise: the Ushra'Khan.
I find it curious that you consider the ideals of a territorialist alliance to be ones that you agree with.
I must say that I never thought that I would see the Star Fraction defending somebody's territory. Not just because of their views on territory, but also because of their views on self-sufficiency.
Interesting times.
I won't pass judgement on the rest of The Cosmopolite's statement except to comment that I find it intriguing not because of the things that he says but because of the things that he's left out.

Where people offer the facilities of the outposts they have constructed, purchased or otherwise acquired with their effort and investment, on reasonable terms of fair exchange we have no problems with them.
Sounds like the CVA to me

Originally by: Kade Jeekin Territorial control is a means to reach our goal. Not the goal in itself.
The same can be said for any alliance or nation.

Originally by: Tharrn Or you just need to get informed? Ask the neutrals living in the Deliverance area - the CVA does in fact promote a very liberal policy.
Ridiculous. You have probably had it too easy for too long to allow these pointless misleading nonsense snippets of half-truth to stand unchallenged. CVA operates a standings enclosurist regime and desires the expansion of hardline Amarri milita interests into the frontier. Still, why bother talking when shooting is more honest?
If shooting is more honest, why were SF forces strangely absent from the theatre of operations the last time I checked?
The fact of the matter is that Amarrian-administered Providence is an oasis of calm where neutrals can freely ply their trades. Furthermore, unlike the U'K, the CVA does not tolerate the presence of organisations that operate "NBSI" policies.

Maybe an agent search?
And why would I do that when it's quite clear that the "next steps" alluded to by The Cosmopolite involve a withdrawal from the area?
Why would I want a precise location check on someone who is irrelevant?

Since you seem so keen to contribute to this thread Jasmine, perhaps we could have your reaction to the news that Ushra'Khan no longer hold sovereignty over QR-K85?

Staying true to ones ideology and acting consistently are perhaps the greatest "proof" of ones dedication to any goal. The loyalty and consistent actions of the Amarrian loyalists in defending our home against terrorism and the fact we've never waned from that goal is proof we are who we say we are. The benefit is that our word actually means something as you always know where we stand and how we'll react.
The Amarrians will not say one thing and do another. We will not abandon our ideology when it's "in the way" of doing something we want to do. We will not abandon our ideology and our morality when it suits us and use any excuse to justify any action.
We are who we say we are. Isn't it greating being Amarr.
Archbishop
Interestingly, SF also maintains it ideology. Its just that their ideology has more thought and depth in it than the motivations of a story character created by a 13 year old for his school project. Just because you don't understand it as your narrow mind can only perceive in a shallow, 2 dimensional, scriptureÆsque fashion, does not make the SF any less true to its ideals.
In my experience, if someone talks like a flip-flopper and acts like a flip-flopper then they almost certainly are a flip-flopper.
But enough of that, perhaps you would care to answer the question that I presented to Jasmine earlier? She appears to have gone strangely quiet since then.

Speaking for the Star Fraction, we regard this as unwelcome news. It is a matter of regret that the Defiance Operation allies were unable to prevent this. The Freecaptains of the Star Fraction do not regret for one second our involvement in the matter. We express continued support for the Ushra'Khan in their struggle with the forces of imperial tyranny represented by the CVA, other Amarrian paramilitaries and the lickspittle vassals of the Amarrian bloc.
On the question of ideological consistency, those who are truly interested in deciding for themselves whether the actions of the Freecaptains in this matter were in line with our ideals or not are invited to consult some notes on the Political Philosophy of The Star Fraction which reflect the long-held and maintained core ideology of the movement.
Yes, your charter is a very interesting read. I particularly enjoyed this part:
Originally by: SF Charter * We believe that policing other peopleÆs safety as a matter of course is akin to mutually regressive servitude; since the protector is obligated to defend the indefensible (since ignorance and vulnerability invites oppression) and the protected is maintained in a status of nanve victim-hood that establishes an entirely unacceptable caste divide between fellow residents of the frontier.

I am so glad you enjoyed that section and I am sure you will appreciate that it is in no way in conflict with any actions we have recently taken. Anyone less sophisticated or in tune with the subtleties of our ideology than the paramilitary, Blake, is invited to attempt to show how we have acted contrary to the letter or spirit of the statement he quotes.
The Cosmopolite
Yes, because of course intervening in a war in order to protect the assets and personnel of the side with which you feel an affinity is in no way policing their safety.

I do apologise for taking longer than an hour to reply Rodj. I'm afraid I use my primary clone implant slot for an Infowar mindlink rather than a direct Neural spike to the Galactic Summit "new posts feed". (each to their own though).
So you were asking where we were? Getting ready to humiliate the Emperor's finest in the capital system of the Amarr old chap - Where else?
Actually, no, I wasn't asking where you were.
Like I say, you're irrelevant.

Originally by: Wren Fool, they are not policing our saftey, they were trying to block the expansion of slavers and their archaic oppressive beliefs.
Try to 'get' what is going on before speaking.
Whereas allying yourselves with pirates and anarchists is presumably the epitome of progressive thinking?

You spend a lot of time trying to convince yourself of that fact - getting jittery Rodj?
Not at all.
After the events of the last few days, I'm feeling quite chipper.

Originally by: Wren Agreed. The distinct lack of support from Minmatar companies in the face of such obvious 'Amarrian Reclaimation' is disturbing.
If you sit back and do nothing, you just might find golden ships on your stations tomorrow.
You insult the Republic.
You put a bounty on the head of the Republic's leader.
You provide a resting place for the body of a thief and traitor.
You ally yourselves with pirates and anarchists.
And then you have the gall to complain that Minmatars aren't defending you?

Furthermore, the same individual has repeatedly solicited further comment from the Star Fraction in this thread.
Not so much since you summoned up the courage to answer the question (which was designed to get the discussion back on track) rather than go off on a tangent.
