PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris

***PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT**
PIE Inc. has a long and glorious history going back to the dawn of the capsuleer age
One of the reasons for our success has been our unashamedly elitist attitude towards recruitment. Unlike many corporations we don't just accept anyone, we only take take recruits who are graduates of the finest capsuleer schools in the cluster - Amarrian schools
We are and always have been an Amarrian-only corporation, and we will continue to be so
However, that does not mean that we only fly with our fellow Amarrians. We have often flown and foght alongside foreigners in the 24th Imperial Crusade, the CVA and many other groups
Indeed, many years ago we had relationships with corporations such as Blacksheep Squadron and Amarr Auxilia whereby they were essentially operating as closely allied forces. These relationships eventually failed for a variety of reasons but the principle of PIE utilising foreign pilots to achieve its goals is not a new one
With this in mind we have created a new corporation, Praetorian Auxiliary Force (PAUX) which is now a member of the Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris alliance
PAUX will be led by an Amarrian citizen (initially my old friend Kang Kodos) but apart from that it's membership will be exclusively foreign. Recruitment and policy decisions will be carried out by PIE Inc
Joining this new corp will not be easy. Candidates must be able to demonstrate a blemish-free history of support for the Empire and must not have just stepped into a pod for the first-time. We want battle-hardened veterans who are willing to fight and die for the Empire. Life as an auxiliary will be tough, but it will have an invaluable reward - a chance to atone for the sins of the past
For more information please contact either myself or Kang Kodos or join the in-pod channel PIE PUBLIC

To announce this on the day of the removal of the Pax Amarria from capsuleer stores seems highly symbolic.
Has PIE given up hope for a peaceful resolution of the current conflict? |

The brutal expantionist mindset that began the Amarr Empire, and continues to this day, somewhat contradicts what you said there. Bloody Omir's coming back Monsters from the endless black Wading through a crimson flood Omir's come to drink your blood |

Too little too late, I fear. A hundred other organizations have been providing what PIE refused to for many years now.
I want to see the old prestige of PIE survive more than almost anyone. This seems to be a last-ditch attempt to save the Praetoriate, in the same direction that so many who have served it have been clamoring for for so long...a door that was slammed many, many times. Suddenly it is opened, but I wonder who is left to consider it?
PIE's membership itself has split into multiple fragment corporations multiple times in only the last couple of years over this very issue. Only now that the might of the Praetorians can be called into fleets of only single-digit numbers is a solution offered...
What makes your new venture stand out from the many that have come after, and what will keep you from repeating the same disastrous mistakes you made with AMAX over 6 years ago?

The fate of the oldest and most respected loyalist capsuleer paramilitary hinges on you having good answers to such queries.
As I'm sure you remember there were issues with the AMAX leadership and their loyalty.
The PIE leadership will select the PAUX Commandant and will maintain control of PAUX shares. This will minimise the possibility of the corp turning rogue. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |

At the rate the current crop of PIE members are jumping ship this is unsurprising news.
The need to 'replenish the ranks' has lead to a lowering of already abysmal standards. Best of luck wallowing in the mud with your new pets though!
To any pilots considering joining this new group:
Be wary if they tell you to be the first ones to undock; you might not have any of them follow. |

I am curious.
Just whom, exactly, do you think will be able to fulfill such exacting standards of recruitment? I can't imagine many foreigners having a 'blemish-free history of support for the Empire'. As a matter of fact, I can think of a number of Amarr capsuleers who have critcised the Empire from time to time.
And what is meant by foreigner? Ammatar? Khanid? Or do you mean actual foreigners. It would be very unlikely, I would think, that many Gallente citizens would sign their lives away for Empress and Empire any time soon.
I'd be interested to see how many applications come your way in this bold venture and mildly surprised if that number exceeded zero. |

It still means two leader. That will not end well. However, when you need mediator with your revolting pet, Lord Vaari will gladly offer his wisdom and guidance to resolve the situation. |

Detailed information about foreign participation in capsuleer operations in Bleak Lands theater is public as are PIE recruitment standards and definitions of who they consider to be a foreigner. If you have some basic degree of competence you can take a minute to learn something, if not, you go post on space forums. |

I have no insight as to the wisdom of the corporate structure, but I do find myself increasingly unable to resist the anything but subtle charms of His Indisputable Suzerain of Southern Sarum, Princling of Providence, Crown's Vicar, Baron of Bravado, Marquis of That Which Is Said, and Pharmacist to the Stars - Lord Sir Master Holder Vaari (did I miss anything?).

I'm not sure where you were educated, champ, but where I come from, one of the usual ways to find out about something is to ask questions. So, that would be me taking a minute to learn something. By asking and awaiting an answer.
Good on you, mate. |

PIE Inc. membership is restricted to pilots of the Amarr, Ni-Kunni and Khanid bloodlines. PAUX has been set up to allow other bloodlines to join us in serving the Empire.

And what of enlightened Amarrian citizens that are not of Amarr/Ni-Kunni/Khanid origin ? Eualurians ? Ammatars ? Enlightened emancipated slaves ? And others ? Why can not they exactly apply for PIE Inc, when they are supposed to be imperial citizens too, as much as any true Amarr commoner ? |

Show me an Ealurian or Ammatar capsuleer that was trained by the Empire, and I'll concede that you have a point. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |

I remember hearing a military joke once about how the word "Auxillary" was just a nice way of saying "Cannon Fodder" It worked because the people in said Division were too stupid to realise what it meant.
Regardless, the best of luck with your new endeavour, who knows.. this might even spawn a sequel tribute song! Enjoy your gaming.
