Impasse in medal handover - Holder Ankigher speaks

    Today, Holder Marin Ankigher released a statement via the Amarr Certified News: "It has come to my attention that the Cross of the Sacred Throne Order has been stolen. In return, its thief desires the five hundred Sebiestor slaves I trusted to the CVA. It has also come to my attention that some wish to leave the prized item in this despicable individual’s hands. Let me clear up now and for ever that the value of the medal far exceeds the sentimental attachment to my former slaves that the CVA might [...]

    Imperial Apoc Returned To Amarr Empire Amid Fierce Minmatar Resistance

      Last Sunday saw the systems of Kador Prime and Boranai light up in struggle as the Ionstar corporation moved the now-famous Imperial-issue Apocalypse to its home. In a procession described by onlookers as “worthy of the Amarr navy itself,” loyalist paramilitary squads from the Curatores Veritatis Alliance escorted the prize vessel through Amarr space, coming in contact with a massed suicide squad of Minmatar revolutionaries at Kador Prime’s Boranai gate. The next few minutes saw a fiercely fought [...]

      Imperial Court Remains Silent about Bleak Land Troubles

        The Bleak Lands - Despite the numerous calls for military action against the increasing pirate forces in the Bleak Lands, there has yet to be any response by officials inside the Amarr Empire.

In spite of this, all official organizations have kept silent. "The silence is becoming tiring," remarked Holder Kamelleth Falduur. [...]

          Hamish, CEO of the Tribal Trust of Pator and High Council memberof the Ushra’Khan, was revealed to have commission the theft of Golan Trevize’s prized award.

The medal remains in the [...]

          Imperial Cross stolen - Slave auction postponed

            A startling new development surrounding the 500 Sebiestor slaves awarded to the CVA halted the auction of those slaves as the Cross of the Sacred Throne Order, awarded to Golan Trevize by the Emperor himself, was stolen. The Admiral's Estates are notoriously well guarded. Rivaling the level of security surrounding the Amarr Navy's most prominent generals, Admiral Trevize's estates is guarded by ravenous packs of slavers, trained to hunt and brutalize any individual they do not recognize. Well-trained [...]

            Imperial Fleet spotted in Aridia

              Aridia - An unidentified Imperial Navy fleet, apparently incorporating much of the Amarrian fleet exercising in Tash-Murkon yesterday, has resurfaced unannounced in the Aridia region. The Ministry of War has still not released any statement explaining these unannounced manoeuvres. While it has long been Naval policy to maintain a press blackout during scheduled exercises, it is also customary for affected parties to be notified in advance. Statements from the Tash-Murkon Family yesterday suggest that [...]

                  Imperial Navy "cautiously withdraws" from wormhole space, urges loyalist exploration

                    Safizon - The Imperial Navy is ending its exploration of wormhole space, citing the lack of immediate threat from Sleeper drones on Empire assets as well as difficulty with coordinating large fleets on exploration efforts. The Amarr Navy first began sending fleets through the wormholes shortly after they began appearing throughout New Eden. The fleets frequently encountered Sleeper Drones and suffered losses, though the Navy has not been forthcoming with casualty numbers. "The Navy is cautiously [...]

                    Imperial Navy Destroys Tetrimon Installation

                      In an alarming display of strength last Wednesday evening, a fleet from the Amarrian Imperial Navy, at the behest of the Theology Council, destroyed a large installation belonging to the Order of St. Tetrimon on the fringes of Amarr space. The Navy fleet, comprised of seven Revelation-class dreadnoughts and three Archon-class carriers, was dispatched from the Amarr solar system by Theology Council representative Deacon Lorenzo Azir shortly after 1900 New Eden standard time. Adressing the fleet leader [...]

                        Imperial Renegades - A Heathen Legion

                          Amarr, Domain - Heathen Legion corporation, the membership of which is composed entirely of "renegade" Amarr, joined the anti-slavery alliance Ushra'Khan on 24.10.112. This article gives an overview of this somewhat unusual organization. Kazzzi, CEO of Heathen Legion, described his corporation. “Heathen Legion joined Ushra'Khan and is composed entirely of Amarrian renegades and former Imperial loyalists who have turned "traitor," kind of like reverse Ammatars.” The aim of Heathen Legion in the words [...]

                          Imperial Space-Lanes Plagued by Rise in Piracy

                            In recent days, Concord conflict-nets have logged a sharp increase of disturbing distress calls in the depths of what has until recently been viewed as the most highly secured sectors of Eve. Merchant vessels and corporate military patrols alike are heard pleading briefly for all assistance before being cut short by the telltale static of electronic jamming – these unfortunate vessels are usually never found or heard from again. The attention of corporate defence forces, usually focused squarely on [...]

                            Imperial reactions on Prayer for the Future mixed

                              Reactions in the Amarr Empire were mixed following the PIE Inc. sponsored Memorial for Doriam held in Amarr on March 30th. The memorial, ostensibly in memorial of the 1000th day since the death of Emperor Doriam II, has drawn commentary from a variety of sources in the Empire. "It's shameful," said Holder Touraj Miyan. "These pod pilots know no respect for their betters. Not only did they invoke our late Emperor's name in an attempt to drum up outrage at the lack of an Emperor, they did so in the [...]

                                Implant technology embraced by spacefarers

                                  It's all the rage - do commission work for one of the big corporations or factions, and they might just award you with the cutting-edge technology implants you've been hearing people brag about. Although not available on the market yet, these cybernetic add-ons have sparked such a huge interest amongst ship captains that agents of the corporations in possession of this technology have found more willing workers than ever. Captains are always after that little edge, it seems. After all, it does not do [...]

                                  Impressions of battle - the Yulai Slave Rally

                                    My ship came out of warp near Yulai 3 with a shudder while explosions flared around me. A battle was raging during what was supposed to be a peaceful protest against slavery. As I tried to make sense of what I saw, I caught the telltale streaks of ships entering warp. I had arrived just as one side of the conflict retreated, leaving the field of battle to a PIE fleet, golden Apocalypse and Armageddon battleships, along with smaller ships, surrounded by the forlorn shapes of abandoned drones, most [...]

                                      NEW EDEN: Impro are again under the spotlight as official figures for their biotech clone contracts show a shocking increase in the number of capsuleer deaths and mind-locks. Recently released official figures from the Jovian Directorate show an increasing number of Impro's clients are experiencing a corruption of neural data on transmission to their medical facilities. Critics on GalNet have been quick to point out that Impro are one of the few Jovian companies to operate outside faction space and [...]

Federation citizens, both Caldari expatriots who have avoided violence and ethnic Gallente and Intaki, have begun organizing demonstrations urging a cessation of the violence. Carrying signs and shouting slogans, the demonstrators have shown little bias towards condemning both sides. "Love not hate!" was a [...]

                                        In The Wake of Battle, Disaster Strikes Mekhios

                                          Sarum Prime – In the aftermath of Jamyl Sarum's triumphant return and the defeat of the invading Minmatar forces here last week, the overall mood on Mekhios has been celebratory, with many church services on the planet offering special prayers of thanks and the Sarum Family proclaiming Sunday to be a planetary holiday. Her gilded path to taking the throne of the Empire has only intensified the revelry. However, the battle above this heavily populated world has not only brought joy, it has brought [...]

                                          In the Federation, Minmatar Expatriate Reaction Mixed to Shakor's Ascent

                                            Jel - While the ascension of Maleatu Shakor to the position of Sanmatar and his proposed reforms to the government of the Republic have been largely greeted with open arms by the Republic's population, the Minmatar expatriate community in the Federation has been considerably more divided. Nowhere is that more apparent than here in Sinq Laison, where the Minmatar minority in the Federation is most established. In the Minmatar neighborhoods of Jel V, the debate over Shakor's merits rages in bars, [...]

                                            In the Wake of Jarek, Religion Continues to Be Contentious Issue

                                              Pator - The murder of Abel Jarek several weeks ago in what seems to be a religiously-motivated attack has highlighted growing tensions over the Amarr faith gaining a foothold in the Republic. According to a survey by the Republic University, most Nefantar and a significant portion of other recent immigrants from the Mandate and the Empire are choosing to keep their Amarrian religious beliefs. While this segment of the population remains a tiny minority, according to the survey such a minority was, [...]

                                                Inauguration Assassination Plot Thwarted – Sarum Empire Decapitated as Kor-Azor Ascends to Power

                                                  1B-31U – After weeks of anxious speculation about her true intentions since the outcome of the Succession Trials which ultimately decided her fate, Jamyl Sarum shocked the galaxy by committing ritual suicide (“Shathol’Syn”) without naming an heir to her own family during the Amarr Inaugural Ceremony, thus leaving her colossal military power and territories unclaimed. The consensus among political analysts is that the transition from Heideran VII to the rule of Emperor Doriam Kor-Azor is having a [...]
