There is speculation, though none of which confirmed, that Amarrian ground soldiers may soon be fitted with similar cloning technology as us capsuleers.
This can be rather alarming to enemies, or those unfriendly to the Empire. The Amarrian's superior numbers paired with extreme fanaticism and now the ability to join the immortals will give them a massive edge on the Battlefield.
It seems rather strange for Amarrians to adopt this rumored technology, seemingly before everyone else. Although Jamyl is a more progressive Empress, this is a completely unprecedented occurrence. This is even stranger because Amarrians have always frowned upon the use of cloning and have barely started to accept it. I guess this is too good of an opportunity to give up.
Discuss, keep in mind that nothing is confirmed but speculated. |

Surely such a vast technological undertaking would raise some alarms in other governments? I'd imagine such a grand breakthrough, and the conflict that would surely result from such technology could scarcely be kept secret.

There is no significant evidence that may suggest this, however there has been some talk among military officials in the Empire that strange artifacts, supposedly sleeper, have been found that could enhance clone technology, possibly superior to that which us capsuleers use.
Think of it this way, our pods enable a perfect "snapshot" of our brains to be taken a split second before death which enables us to be cloned with our memories and consciousness.
This new technology allegedly can cause a direct transfer of consciousness rather than a snapshot and without the need for a pod. I don't know how that's possible though. |

I have to disagree. You must remember the Empyrean Wars. Even though the Caldari were not involved in the Amarr- Minmatar battles that ensued after the CONCORD network was brought down they used that opportunity to "liberate" Caldari Prime.
Mutually assured destruction means nothing right now. It has been proven time and time again that the Empires are willing to risk everything if it means obliterating their enemies.
Back on topic, it will probably only be a matter of time before the other factions get a piece of this new technology. When the Caldari got pod technology it was barely a month before they saw Gallentean pilots with pods as well.
The real question is how long will the Amarr be able to maintain the edge before the others manage to copy what they have created (or possibly reversed engineered)? |

That Amarr are the first to do this - or claim to do this - is not actually that surprising. The largest of the 5 empires with the most resources and man-power behind them, I would be surprised if they were not at the for-front of this line of research
In any case, if these rumors are true and I have no reason to doubt they are not then it will not be long before the other 3 empires aquire this technology as well. Once that has happend it is just a matter of time till this tech trickles down into the hands of capsulers like us.
I for one find it exciting to think how close we of neweaden are to literally curing death.
It's a little surprising because for the past few centuries or so, Gallente and Caldari (century in the Caldari's case) scientist have generally been the leading the new technological breakthroughs (discounting whatever the Jovians have), Amarrians haven't jumped to adapt new technology first since they rediscovered interstellar travel. While they can be more than capable of leading in almost every field, yet the strict theocracy makes it difficult for intellectuals to show the cluster what they are capable of. |
