Rodj Blake PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.03.16 19:34:00 - [1] Port Sanctuary is operated by neither PIE nor VV. It is a facility owned by the SPCS. Furthermore, PIE's policy is and always has been to defend the Empire rather than perform acts of aggression against the Gallente Federation. We Amarrians are a peace-loving people after all. However, we reserve the right to pursue enemies of the Empire wherever they may be. Strix has now added themselves to the list of our enemies. As such, their decision to declare war on us has the potential to increase PIE activity in the Federation rather than diminish it. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

'If you try to stop us committing evil, we will just do it more'. The eternal cry of both the bully and oppressor. Not at all. It's more a case of us not previously having any reason to patrol Federation space, so we didn't. Now, we have a reason. We didn't want this war, but Strix have forced it upon us. If Strix didn't want to reap the whirlwind, they shouldn't have sown the seed. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Rodj Blake PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.03.17 14:59:00 - [3] Originally by: Trent Valtine To my knowledge, there has been no Gallente investigation into Port Sanctuary since it was anchored in space. That's because Port Sanctuary clearly operates within the rules. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Rodj Blake PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.03.17 19:09:00 - [4] Then why not declare war on a group that actually forcibly takes slaves in the Federation instead of PIE? Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Rodj Blake PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.03.18 13:04:00 - [5] Originally by: Cypher Deus Of course if this is all a terrible mistake then please, feel free to open the doors of Port Sanctuary to CONCORD inspectors who can verify that no Gallente are being enslaved - this being the case then I am sure that the war declaration would be withdrawn. However I somehow doubt, given earlier responses from Archbishop, that such an inspection would allowed to take place by PIE - this can only lead us to assume that PIE have something to hide at Port Sanctuary ... I have no problem at all with you sending inspectors to Port Sanctuary. But you see, it's not my decision because Port Sanctuary is not owned or operated by PIE Inc. If you have a problem with Port Sanctuary perhaps you should take it up with its actual owners rather than declaring war on someone else. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

But you see, it's not my decision because Port Sanctuary is not owned or operated by PIE Inc. If you have a problem with Port Sanctuary perhaps you should take it up with its actual owners rather than declaring war on someone else If it is not owned or operated by PIE then why does Archbishop, a member of PIE, speak so vociferously on its behalf ? This would seem to be at odds with yourself, wishing to distance yourself from Port Sanctuary. The Amarr have obviously learnt something from their associations with the Caldari - how to hide their misdeeds behind red tape and bureaucracy. I'm afraid the discourse of Archbishop would appear to directly associate PIE with Port Sanctuary and its illegal operations, whether it is owned by a dummy corporation or otherwise. Archbishop does indeed have connections to the SPCS, as do many other Amarrians both within and without PIE. Tell me, will you be declaring war on all alliances which have either current or past SPCS officials amongst their members? Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

Tell me, will you be declaring war on all alliances which have either current or past SPCS officials amongst their members? Unfortunately that decision is not mine - I am simply a pod-pilot flying in defence of my adopted home, the Gallente Federation. I have no problem if others wish to join the fight, that is their choice to make, but thus far none have stepped forward to support you ... if they do then I will always treat all slave traders equally. See you in space salutes I wasn't asking if you would be happy to see others declaring war on you. I was asking if you would be declaring war on those alliances which have connections to the SPCS. Incidentally, if Archbishop's connection to the SPCS is the reason for this war, why exactly are you declaring war on VV but not the SPCS themselves? Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.03.18 16:24:00 - [8] Edited by: Rodj Blake on 18/03/2008 16:26:59 I notice that you forgot to quote the first half of the original statement. The half with the specific reference to Port Sanctuary in it. So I repeat my questions, this time to the organ grinder rather than the monkey. If you're declaring war on us because of our support for the SPCS, why are you not declaring war on the SPCS themselves. If you're declaring war on VV for their support of the SPCS, why are you not also declaring war on other alliance with equal or far closer links to the SPCS? Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

The fact that millions of Ni-Kunni such as Archbishop are able to perform useful roles in Amarrian society proves that our methods work. The sooner insurgent groups such as the Electus Matari, Ushra'Khan and now Strix realise this and start upon the path to enlightenment themselves the better. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Rodj Blake PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.03.21 14:41:00 - [10] Originally by: Gervais Zhang It's interesting to me how much the Amarrians focus on the implications of Port Sanctuary... and totally attempt to sidestep the frequent covert incursions into Federation space by Amarrian military forces. I've fought these scum myself, as have most of my corpmates. If organisations such as PIE and VV did not want to bear the consequences of defending a monolith of oppression and evil, they should not have associated themselves with the Empire in the first place. Their choice not to deny Major Bigeard's charges simply underscores their acknowledgement that the Empire breaks international law on a daily basis in its actions versus the Gallente Federation. Sorry for missing the past few days of banter, but I've been planetside assessing the results of the most recent illegal raid by Amarrian military forces in Federation territory. It's Strix who brought up the issue of Port Sanctuary. Secondly, as has already been stated PIE has traditionally preferred to look for terrorists in the Republic rather than the Federation. We of course reserve the right to change this now that that Federation supporters have decided to attack us. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Rodj Blake PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.03.28 11:47:00 - [11] Originally by: Gervais Zhang When the Amarrian Navy stops raiding the territory of the Federation and our allies in the Republic, we will cease this war. Perhaps you should also consider the actions of Federation Navy vessels in Amarrian space. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Rodj Blake	Posted - 2008.04.02 14:29:00 - [12] So Gerrard, you support the right of Gallenteans to interfere in the Minmatar/Amarr conflict, but you wish to deny that very same right to Caldaris. Gallentean hypocrisy at its vilest. Please visit your user settings to re-enable images. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
