The last two Emperors have been preaching the Pax Amarr.
They lead, we follow.
A vessel of peace indeed. ----------------------------------------------

Did Gaius Kador just disown the legacy of all the Emperors that came before the last two?
I had no idea you thought so little of the Reclaiming, dear.
Might want to keep that opinion to yourself though, I hear some of your masters still take it quite seriously indeed. They may even want you to "follow" on it someday.
Besides, we wouldn't want to be claiming to be all peace-loving when we'll wage war at the drop of a hat now, would we?

Originally by: Kagura Nikon I think you overestiamte the capability of copying technology that empires might have.
And I think you underestimate the ingenuity and intelligence of ship designers.
Once something has been proven to be possible, it can be imitated. With enough money, manpower and minds devoted to a problem, the solution is only a matter of time. -

LOL Looks like some Minmatar gave a Capital middle finger to CONCORD. That's just precious. What's the matter? Are the Ammar scared?

Congratulations on getting your capsuleer licence 8 days ago although perhaps learning abit more about intergalactic politics before embarking on your career would be a wise choice.
This "task force" would not be a threat to any established capsuleer force so it being considered a threat to the Imperial Navy is laughable. Perhaps they can find some more ships before they show their faces again.
Warmongering from those trying to send the galaxy back into chaos is all this is. They need to check their hands before they make their play.

LOL maybe you should go back to sniffing more of that incense. Just beacuse I got my capsuleer license 8 days ago does not mean I haven't been paying attention. Since CVA holds 0.0 space for the Ammar empire, maybe you should focus on that rather then my career choice.
The task force was symbolic. 1st jumping into Yulai like that & 2nd, which you failed to recognize, was what was behind the "jump tunnel". I could only imagine what.
Oh & having slaves is like so 500 years ago. Please evolve already.

The imperial navy itself woudl not be a threat to the major powerblocks of capsuleer alliances, so your point is?
A pack of 15 dreadnaughts and support that is able to freely jump in and out of systems ( speciaql attention to jump out support) is a threat to anyone sicen they can land and wipe a station or planet from orbit before any response force is assembled. I have no doubts tht after a few days of huntign the imperial navy woudl finnaly ambush them and overhelm them, but the point is they coudl kill billions before that.

Edited by: Jack Rowanburn on 01/06/2008 11:48:39 It seems too much of a coincidence that the incident in Malkalen and the incident in Yulai are not linked.
A third party, given enough time and money, could well aquire all of the information required to make ships appear to be that of another fleet. History has shown that there are those who will provoke war by making one faction believe they have been attacked by another.
Also, how do we know that the ships that jumped into Yulai were the entire fleet? Is it not feasable that this was part of a larger force that we did not see. ------------- Freedom is the right of all sentient species - Optimus Prime |

Unfortunately for the Imperial Navy, most Minmatar (I won't say Republic) officers tend to prefer not to engage a powerful foe head-on. With the Minmatar, it's always about slipping in round the side, doing a lot of damage to a vulnerable bit, then escaping again before the hive's had time to get really angry. Their victories tend to be small, but signficant.
The Imperial Navy, it has to be said, is a bit less subtle. Its power and might can't be denied, but its response time is somewhat less admirable.
I dread to think just how much damage eleven Naglfars could do if they found a nice, poorly-protected planet to hit. Those quad howitzers aren't popguns, and neither are the citadel torpedoes. With that kind of jump drive technology, they could arrive, comfortably erase a couple of cities, and leave long before the Imperial response could mobilize.
In a straight-up fight, sure, the Empire wouldn't have much trouble. But you'd have more luck trying to juggle water than in drawing a competent Minmatar commander into a straight-up fight. -

Thankyou Mr Stitcher and Mr Seishomaru for agreeing with my point that this is nothing more than a bunch of warmongerers trying to start a war they couldn't possibly fight themselves.

You know, maybe this wasn't a threat to CONCORD at all. Maybe it was something more sinister - a practice run.
The people behind this (probably Thukkers) now know they can jump into hisec. They might go after another system - maybe even Amarr Prime. Hitting Yulai was just to confuse everyone.
Anyway, I will admit that I felt pride as I saw that fleet. ____________________________________ Caldari by birth, Minmatar by citizenship.

Woah, hold on there, pal. I'll thank you not to put words in my mouth that I haven't spoken. I'm not supporting your point - I'm just appraising the facts that I can see.
I don't think we have enough evidence - yet - to be able to definitively say "this is what is going on". I get the impression a lot of events are going on behind closed doors that we - the freelance capsuleer elite - are not privy to. -
