Archbishop Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2007.12.16 22:34:00 - [1] Edited by: Archbishop on 16/12/2007 22:36:21 The fleet gathered outside Amarr Emperor station. Used mostly as a meeting place for operations and as a ceremonial location the often quiet PIE Headquarters today bustled with activity. Multiple golden battleships and other vessels of Amarrian design prepared for a scouting mission into The Bleaklands. Hope was high some Defiant heathens could be located and brought to justice. Moving away from the massive golden spacestation the fleets golden hulls reflected the sunlight onto the station and nearby monument. Moving into warp the task force of over ten PIE warships, under the command of Admiral Rodj Blake the PIE CEO, moved as one into the depths of The Bleaklands on a mission of faith. As the patrol moved slowly led by an advanced scouting covert ops vessel no terrorist heathens were sighted. It seems this day the Defiants have chosen once again to cower in the dark corners of their caves hoping to evade the light of righteousness and retribution. A wise decision on their part if you ask me. "Warning, pirate vessels sighted". The call came out over PIE voice comms that multiple pirate vessels had been sighted near Auga and Kourmonen. It was well known the Muffinmen pirate corporation operated in this area on occasion bringing death and despair to innocent travellers. The PIE forces moved into the cataclysm and prepared to face off against these enemies of Empire shipping. The PIE Golden Fleet approaches the gate to Auga.... Moving into Kourmonen the fleet sat at the Auga gate waiting. Several pirate pilots attempted to taunt the brave loyalist fleet into moving to a moon to engage in combat but the PIE fleet, disciplined and dedicated refused the taunts, they fell on deaf ears. A brief sermon was conducted by Archbishop preaching words of wisdom inspired by the holy scriptures demonstrating to the pirate criminals the errors of their ways. Apparently this was more then they could take. After the first volley of Pirate ships were destroyed the Amarrians didn't have long to wait for more.... The pirates warped in but the Amarrian forces had planned for that and after several pirates opened fire the Amarrians jumped through the gate into Auga and took up position. Sure enough several pirates jumped to follow but several could not due to timers on the gate and their low -10.0 like security statuses. The slaughter began. Wreckage surrounds the gate as ships were destroyed in the name of God.... Holy fire lept from the turrets of the golden Amarrian warships ripping thru the hulls of the pirate vessels. More and more pirate vessels succumbed to the holy fire of the faithful. Aboard his flagship the TES Sinkiller the VADM Archbishop ordered barrages of missiles launched at enemy ships. Yet for each ship destroyed it seemed more arrived. The pirates were reshipping at a nearby station apparently.
Archbishop Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2007.12.16 22:35:00 - [2] Still the Amarrian loyalists stood their ground destroying far more than they lost. When at last the Amarrians were forced to withdraw due to the third trip reshipping of the pirates the losses were still honorable as the pirates lost ship after ship after ship. The Amarrian losses included the Armageddon Battleships of Kumo T'Sun, Cpt Constantinus, Irishranger and Vlad Konstatinov. The TES Sinkiller flies past the wreckage of a Tempest as it prepares to lock another target shortly before it was destroyed in the battle.... The Sacrilege of Archbishop also succumbed to the fire of three enemy Battleships after holding it's own for nearly eight minutes on the field of battle. On the pirate side two Ravens, two Tempests, a Hyperion and an elite Battlecruiser were lost as well as a Caracal. Far more in value than a few Amarrian Armageddons. The superiority of Amarrian design and armor shone through the battle. After the battle reports came in of several ships looting the wrecks in the area of the battle. Pirate commander 0o0Preatorian0o0 said in local "Unless you were here for the fight get away from the loot". Investigating the gate to Kourmonen the PIE Captain Monsignor in his covert ops Pilgrim noted several pilots of the Star Fraction hanging around. He did not witness them personally stealing the loot of those who perished in combat however they did jump in and out several times and were observed loitering around several wrecks. I guess they were taking in the sights. Wrecks and Corpses litter the gate to Koumonen in Auga..... Withdrawing to a nearby base the PIE forces were able to replace their losses immediately due to the shipyard logistic efforts of it's industrial division and soon will again ply the lanes of the Bleaklands in search of those who would do injustice to the faithful. While the Defiants are the target all who oppose the will of God will be met with His holy word and His holy light. His will shall be done. Archbishop PIE WEBSITE & FORUMS

Investigating the gate to Kourmonen the PIE Captain Monsignor in his covert ops Pilgrim noted several pilots of the Star Fraction hanging around. He did not witness them personally stealing the loot of those who perished in combat however they did jump in and out several times and were observed loitering around several wrecks. The Star Fraction fleet jumped in at 20:25 and found a field of wrecks on top of the gate. All appeared to have been emptied according to heads-up display icons. I imagine the usual speedy looting of the field by scavengers took place well before we arrived. I am not sure why you think denying materiel to people who are our enemies, be it you, or be it those pirates you were fighting, is something that needs adverse comment. The wrecks of enemies that are the result of enemy action are not sacrosanct. Only the wrecks of enemies that have been killed by friends or neutrals are off-limits to our pilots, as well as the wrecks of neutrals and friends naturally. Our forces were simply traversing space where a variety of enemies had been sighted and indeed our scouts were attacked by pirate vessels who narrowly escaped. Later in the evening a further patrol in the area resulted in the destruction of a pirate command ship and a pirate battleship that had chosen to aggress our outriders.

I myself would never feel entitled to loot that which was not earned in battle but that is the morality of the Amarrian way. Still thank you for clarifying your position on removing loot from vessels you have not killed. I am still recovering from my experience of having to seek transport on a Minmatar shuttle after my ship was destroyed. Once the medical officer is done with the immunizations and an observation period I will be able to return to active duty. Archbishop PIE WEBSITE & FORUMS

I am afraid that your personal 'morality' in this regard is not in my experience shared by all Amarrian loyalists and I don't recognise it as any kind of 'Amarrian way'. Ultimately, that is of no account as far as I am concerned and from my point of view neither a good or a bad thing. Enemies gain no grace from us unless we have specifically given them our word, as in a duel of honour or agreed ceasefire during negotiations. As to your trip on the Minmatar shuttle, I am sorry to hear that the fedos aboard ship required medical attention and rather touched to hear that, such was your remorse at infecting them with whatever mind-rotting disease it is you suffer from, you spent time observing their treatment. Perhaps your love of cages and restraints would be better channelled into a career in vetinary medicine. Certainly it would be more productive than the sado-fetishism masquerading as religiosity that you peddle over the GalNet channels regularly. The Cosmopolite The Star Fraction Communications Portal

Archbishop Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2007.12.17 05:19:00 - [7] If you were there to kill me you were about 20 minutes late. Battle Begins in Auga: The battle actually began about a minute earlier but I was lagged entering the system by some mysterious gravimetric forces and was unable to obtain a target lock. [ 2007.12.16 20:05:21 ] (combat) Your Thunderbolt Heavy Missile hits Cripp [FSCUM], doing 52.5 damage. Battle Ends in Auga: [ 2007.12.16 20:12:00 ] (combat) Caldari Navy Inferno Torpedo belonging to Nevcair hits you, doing 114.6 damage. [ 2007.12.16 20:12:01 ] (notify) Ship is out of control [ 2007.12.16 20:12:01 ] (notify) Warping to Auga III [ 2007.12.16 20:12:01 ] (notify) Ship is out of control Star Fraction Arrives in Auga: [ 2007.12.16 20:28:58 ] El Berto > nice ride archbishop Anyway it appears from these records my ship lasted quite awhile in battle with the pirates. Likewise we took out quite a few more of them then we lost and we didn't need to reship 2-3 times as they did to do it. I am satisfied with the results. The pirate menace will not be tolerated. Notice has been served these pirates who are a threat to peaceful Amarrian shipping will not be allowed to continue hinderance free their activities of crime and destruction. Amarr Victor!

PiF Gallente TAKAGI Corp Acheron Federation	Posted - 2007.12.17 09:57:00 - [8] Originally by: Archbishop Amarr Victor! Really ? I am still compiling the serie of reports we received from the NeXus network and I would hardly call this battle an Amarr victory at this point. Don't get me wrong, fighting against piracy is a duty of every established governement in this galaxy, this sickness spreads. But I see this operation as ill-advised and could have necessitated more intel work. On a side note, TAKAGI Corp wishes to formally salute all the pilots who fought against piracy and outlawness. Know something ? Sell it to the NeXus network

The pirates whom we engaged had been active in Kourmonen, which is an adjacent Amarrian system. Just as we strike against terrorists when they retreat to their bases outside the Empire, so shall we strike others who prey upon shipping in the Empire, no matter where they happen to be.

If the Rebublic fleet will not do its job and allow pirates to operate in the area, then you cannot blame paramilitaries acting on vigilantism. Perhaps Ushra'Khan should take up that duty.....oh wait you're receiving aids from pirates.

While their tribal culture is primitive in my view, they should be allowed to exist as a soverign entity. I am strongly against forcing them to return to the path of God. As far as I am concerned, they are destined for hell either way, no need to pursue them.
Darius Shakor Minmatar Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2007.12.17 12:56:00 - [15] Archbishop, all that will happen in the end is the evenual destruction of your twisted empire. Most likely by your own hands than anyone elses given recent events. The Tetrimon claim your scriptures a lie fabricated to serve the royal families, the blood raiders showed your planets are not beyond harm and the Bleak Lands are falling into chaos again. And the less said about your missing Emperor the better as your empire is in the hands of a Chamberlain who, if I understand your rites of succession correctly, has the duty to etermine who the next Emperor is going to be. He doesn't seem in a hurry though. Perhapse he does not want to? And you follow him. Be my guest, follow him over a cliff and right into your own hell where your kind belongs. ------ Shakor Clan Information Portal

The recent deployment of the 7th Fleet to the Bleak Lands under the order of the Chancellory is a clear indication that liberals of the Empire is slowly gaining power. In doing so, he has bypass the Court Chamberlain's authority and did it at great risk. That along with the recent increased power and independence of a secular Civic Court make it clear that the Empire is heading for a better tomorrow, not destruction.

When we came across your Star Fiction ships we were given the orders "dont shoot, they are not worth bothering about" Those orders will not be repeated when a VV operation comes across you.

Kabajashi San Minmatar Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2007.12.17 16:31:00 - [19] Isn't it a bad sign when on the territory of the Empire with one of it's elite fleets present in the region an insignificant group of riff-raff pirates manages to beat a paramilitary patrol so that they are forced to withdraw the poor remains of the ships left. I mean I would think about it if I was an Amarr. Maybe you should, if only for a tiny moment, consider that the forces you are forced to use to fight the Matari who want nothing else than what is every human's right would be much better spent in garanteeing the safety of interstellar travel in your own territory? Maybe it is not so brilliant after all to enrage half the universe to get them to constantly fight you if your own Empire would need that strength wasted. But who am I to judge...

Coming from the pilot of an alliance who finds it more convenient to fly alongside pirates than fight them, these words ring pretty hollow. And that's without considering the fact that, despite your wording of the situation, it was a positive rate of attrition in a system infamous for rather significant pirate presence.
Vitrael Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.12.17 16:57:00 - [22] Edited by: Vitrael on 17/12/2007 16:57:48 Originally by: Garreck And that's without considering the fact that, despite your wording of the situation, it was a positive rate of attrition in a system infamous for rather significant pirate presence. Do I believe what I am reading? Because the system you were in is notorious for excessive pirate activity, the substantial PIE losses there are justified? The fact that there are any systems that are- in your own words, notorious- for pirate activity in your back yard speaks clearly of PIE's failure in its goal to defend Amarrian space from piracy. Doesn't speak well for the "Amarr Border Defense Consortium" either, does it?

Well let's see if you read it first... Originally by: Vitrael Because the system you were in Nope. As for the rest, if you're implying that the existence of evil is an indicator of failure on the part of those who are sworn to fight evil, you're probably not someone who can be rationally spoken to. Or, to take the point home: the existence of Empires, Egger and dirt-crawler alike, speaks pretty clearly of the failure of the Star Fraction to bring their post-humanism from an eccentric ideal to reality now doesn't it? Or perhaps it's still a work in progress. Much like the security of Amarr's borders from those who would threaten the Holy Empire.

Very true. Historically, Star Fraction has blamed its losses on (get this) being outnumbered and outgunned. I trust we're through with this exercise in pedantry?
Kabajashi San Minmatar Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2007.12.17 18:34:00 - [26] The pirates were there to destroy ships and loot wrecks. As I see it that's what they did. Now, I won't salute them because what they fight for is only greed but I cannot help but smile that the oh so mighty Empire that wants to claim all the known Universe is not even master in its own house. Your times have passed, Amarr, you are a walking dead and if you don't wake up very soon from your feverish dreams it will be the proud Matari warriors that will let your body follow your soul to the neverending darkness.

Do you Minmatar dogs even heed your own inane prattle? We were in your house dealing with your Pirates. Maybe if you weren't borrowing theyre techniques and firmly entrenching all the neutrals of Providence against you, you'd be able to protect Minmatar space from cut-throats, murderers and thieves. But then, Ushra'Khan aren't interested in defending theyre fellow Minmatar anymore. Luckily for you, we Amarrians are happy to return our wayward serfs to the fold.
Kabajashi San Minmatar Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2007.12.17 21:56:00 - [28] So what's it now? Hunting pirates in Amarr space as Mr. Rodj said or entering Republican space without approval like you implement? At least you could make up your mind when telling a story....
