Dear brothers and sisters,
Today, in a stunning and unannounced move the Secure Commerce Commission banned any new prints of the well known Pax Amarria penned by our late Emperor Heideran.
I consider this kind of rash repressive action a direct attack on Amarrian interests and call upon the SCC to lift the ban on printing of new Paxes immediately.
I have always found great comfort in bringing a Pax with me on my journeys across the cold dark void and consider it part of my standard equipment. To deny new capsuleers from buying such an item is simply intolerable. I know the Pax encourages conflict resolution by peaceful means, and that continual war drives SCC profits from trade orders, but they have gone to far this time.
Bring back the Pax! |

The following scans are meant to provide proof that non-capsuleers are still shipping the Pax Amarria, but that the SCC has just banned it from entering the capsuleer market:

In other words, if capsuleers want to procure Paxes they have to turn to the secondary capsuleer market or attack innocent civilian convoys. That is simply intolerable. |

The Pax Amarria is a great example of the duality of the Amarr culture. Stern but forgiving, extending the hand of peace while wielding a sword in the other. It is a symbol of what other cultures "don't get" about Amarr culture. They think one cannot be a slaver and a kind person at once. Or the Emperor of a militaristic theocratic society and peacebroker at the same time.

How typically uncultured heathen of you to value a book just by the material it is printed on.
