Edited by: Gaius Kador on 31/01/2008 13:34:35 To the Anointed Children of God. ö Here we are.
This is the world of God.
We are his chosen ones.
This place, this planet of peace and abundance, he made for us. It's ours for the taking.
There will be obstacles and difficulties. That's his test. We must make his gift deserving.ö
This passage from the second letter of St.Junip of Aerui describes our recent campaign in the Bleak Lands perfectly. Recent events saw the return of the terrorist faction known as the Defiants, and their immoral quest to bring chaos and destruction to the Bleak Lands, all in the name of Freedom. To counter this threat against the Empire, the 7th fleet under the command of Admiral Vanazr Saracen responded by deploying into the area.
Initial skirmishes turned into full blown conflict very quickly, and the devious terrorist Defiants were pushed back. The minmatar are, in spite of their barbaric nature, a resourceful enemy, and turned a quickly approaching defeat into a temporary victory when they located the 7th Fleet central defence cortex, taking it out despite suffering heavy losses in the process.
Thus came our time, our Test of Faith, to make his gift deserving.
We made contact with the 7th fleet command, and in concert with our allies in the VV, OQ, CVA and AM, set up a common defense network in order to patrol the Bleak Lands and defend 7th fleet ADU complexes.
Initial probes into the Bleak Lands were aimed at gathering as much intel as possible, and thus shape our future strategy in how best to defend the ADUs from terrorist aggression. We quickly identified elements of the UshraÆKhan operating within the Bleak Lands, and our probes turned into skirmishes with minor losses on each side.
Initial operations were concentrated within the Sasen and Vaarma constellations, and it was here we would first engage terrorist elements contesting control of the ADU complexes proper. The Otelen system saw the first major confrontation between loyalist and terrorist forces end with a major defeat for PIE forces, an entire squadron of interceptors and assault frigates wiped out during a fierce fight at the entrance of an ADU complex, and in turn the ADU was lost to the whims of the UshraÆKhan.
We had found our first Test of Faith during this campaign. I accepted full responsibility for the defeat, and offered my resignation immediately.
Reorganising our forces, PIE returned in force the next night, our zeal unmatched, once again sweeping through the Sasen and Vaarma constellations, defending several ADU complexes undeterred by the previousÆ nights defeat in Otelen. Once again we found ourselves face to face with the UshraÆKhan, contesting our control of the ADU complexes, but this time we remained dominant and in control until they could be recloaked.
The following nights saw even more fighting, this time spreading into the nearby Tandoiras and Ichida constellations, as we sought to expand our sphere of influence within the Bleak Lands. In addition to the usual UshraÆKhan incursions, we identified several formerly neutral groups aggressing on 7th Fleet ADU complexes, and promptly issued declarations of war on these corporations and alliances as pr our standing orders from 7th Fleet Command.
Time and time again we foiled UshraÆKhan attempts to destroy ADU complexes, and during the zenith of their activity levels in the Bleak Lands, we wrested control of an already assaulted complex from their grip in the Kamela system, successfully defending it into recloak mode, while the terrorists were left watching. In one day alone, loyalist forces successfully defended and recloaked over 30 ADU complexes. ----------------------------------------------

The following days and coming week saw UshraÆKhan activity levels drop dramatically within the central Bleak Lands systems, while we identified further hostile corporations and alliances onto whom we declared holy war.
Fighting has been more or less constant, and whilst PIE has attracted a host of unrelated war declarations during the period we have spent patrolling the Bleak Lands, we have remained dedicated and we did not fail when our Test found us.
The recent news of a 7th Fleet victory against the Defiants in Kurniainen was reward enough for the unified loyalist effort, and grants us further inspiration to see this crusade through to the end.
While my personal dishonor at the Otelen ADU still remains unresolved and a stain on my reputation, I will not let matters of personal nature interfere in my Duty towards the Empire. I will get my chance at redemption.
Long live the Empire,

Might as well add our prepared bit here then:
For immediate release
The Vigilia Valeria, amongst other Amarrian paramilitaries, has been called to arms by the Amarr Navy to help with the defense of 7th Fleet Installations in the Bleak Lands after the central cortex of the 7th Fleet had been destroyed in an unprovoked terrorist attack.
Over the course of the past weeks -VV- has been patrolling the Bleak Lands in close colaboration with it's Amarrian allies. The number of uncovered 7th Fleet Installations successfully defended by -VV- forces alone nearly number 100 at the time of writing, with many, many more defended by allies like PIE Inc., the Curatores Veritatis Alliance, Aegis Militia and Ordo Quaesitoris or in joined efforts.
'We are making sure that the Navy can concentrate on keeping the pressure on the Defiants up while we are dealing with pod pilots threatening the 7th Fleet Installations in the Bleak Lands', Fleet Marshall Tharrn of the Vigilia Valeria Alliance stated.
'It is our holy duty to assist Admiral Saracen where we can. War declarations are filed via CONCORD where necessary when pod pilots do not cease their attacks on Navy assets under the eyes of Amarrian loyalist forces. We strongly suggest to stay clear of the 7th Fleet Installations until the current situation has been fully resolved.'

It would seem to me, if the reports are correct, that further hypothetical comparisons of current Amarr Navy tactics and doctrine to those applied at VakÆAtioth can now be considered null and void. A dynamic, fast-paced scenario where the Navy utilized speed and subtlety to maximum advantage.
Obviously the Amarr Navy is up to the task of dealing with well equiped terrorist incursions.

I am heartened by this news; it is to my utmost regret that I was unable to help take part in this valiant defence.
I salute the bravery of all those that fought for the empire and mourn those lost, they died a worthy death.

Let us use logic, then.
The universe has had a beginning, it is not infinite in size.
Also, an event is dependent upon another event that occured prior to it. Our existence consists of a continuum of dependent events.
Logic dictates that since the universe is finite and had a beginning there cannot be an infinite number of dependent events. If the previous statement is false, then the universe is infinitely old, thus an infinite amount of time has passed from its beginning to the current time. However, an infinite amount of time cannot be traversed.
So, at the beginning, we need an event to begin the chain of dependent events. This event must be independent of the chain, or it is part of it.
This independent event is thus supernatural. It is what the Faith describes as God, the Creator.

It seems your grasp of language is poor. If I logically elicited the fact that God is supernatural, then you should understand that God is beyond the visible observable universe.
If you bothered to read what I wrote, you would remember that God is independent of the chain of dependent events. How can I, a dependent entity - understand the exact nature of what is independent?
Addition:
Since God is independent of the chain of dependent events, Has has no creator.
God created time. He exists with or without time.

How in the world did you all get so distracted so easily. How about starting a new thread next time. I'm tired off logging on to find that a conversation has been completely turned around. So...screw you Amarr slave owning turds. You will never stop the UK and I hope that you never do. They have you spending recources and running in circles over "an insignificant threat." They more you talk about them, the more you give them credit. I'm sure you already thought of that... So keep up you endless self rightous yapping and I will continue to laugh at your ignorance. Good night, hope a slave hound tears out your throat. |

I have nothing to add to the detailed and exaustive reports presented by those who talked before me. I only have to, as always, bow to those who have given their time, their duty and their support to aid the 7th Fleet. But also to all those that have lost their lifes fighting in this war.
To all them, I salute you. Amarr Victor!

I find the delusional rantings of the slaver hordes to be humorous, at best.
You send out a patrol now and then, locating a handful of the formerly detection-proof 7th Fleet installations, and wait until the power systems on their cloaks re-stabilize, and celebrate your 'victory'. Occasionally you locate a raid by the Defiants, Ushra'Khan, or others, and avert an assault here or there. This, too, you count as a victory, and head back to your stations to toast the prowess of your slave crews.
While you gloat over your hollow successes, defenders of freedom destroy 7th Fleet assets with abandon behind your backs. I have *personally* been involved in the destruction of over two dozen 7th Fleet installations, and am aware of many more others I had no involvement in. I've destroyed perhaps as many as a dozen of them *single-handedly*. The determined yet ultimately futile attempts of the 7th Fleet to defend themselves have proved woefully inadequate -- even against my lone frigate -- and I've yet to see a *single* ship from any of the paramilitaries while hunting these sites.
How much does it matter how many installations you babysit while their crew scrambles to bring their sensor jammers back online, if for every one you guard another ten go unguarded? And one by one 7th Fleet Command is losing communications with those sites in the most permanent fashion possible.
If this is how your god plans out events in the Bleak Lands, are you really so sure that he's on your side?

Would it be possible to get a loyalist Amarrian comment on the rumors that the Empire and/or 7th Fleet and/or some anti-peace faction inside those are using the Defiant and allies as an excuse to fortify the border regions, as preparation for something more than just homeland defense?

I'd even go so far as to propose that she made that up to fuel the anti-Amarrian propaganda and claim morale high-ground where the Empire is clearly just acting in self-defense here.
This is an unprovoked attack on imperial assets and we will continue to strive to protect them to the best of our abilities.

I'd say the provocation would be your beloved empire continuing to keep our people in bondage, or maybe you have missed the last 3 years. As for protecting the 7th fleet to the best of your abilities... I am glad somebody is, as theirs appear to be sorely lacking, though I can't say that the paramilitaries are far behind.

Mr. Tharrn, if you are referring to the engagement in Ohide, when we were on our way to take out a 7:th Fleet, I would not brag so much about it if I were you - we destroyed one of your Purifiers and took down the 7:th Fleet tower we came for.
But I got to hand it to youà you stand in front of an impossible mission. How could you possibly defend the entire Bleak Lands by yourself? When a few of us within the UÆK engage you in one system, there are more people fighting for freedom sneaking in behind you to take down the towers when youÆre not looking.
DonÆt try to make it look like your managing the situation û it is simply not true. YouÆre doing your best IÆm sure and I would be lying if I would say you do not cause us trouble, but you are nowhere near managing the situation û tower by tower is being destroyed behind your back.

The rate you shoot them, is the Empire running out of messengers by now, pilots Blake, Tharrn?
No, I did not make it up. No, if someone is paranoid about it, it is not me.
Yes, your complete dismissal of the subject did serve to get me to pay closer attention to it.
