In this second article on the Sani Sabik belief and its adherents, we look at an active, combative Blood Raider loyalist corporation. What do they actually do and why? CRUORIS SERAPHIM [CR-SE] In a sect where blood is everything, it should come as no surprise that among the most active and prominent, though least vocal, there boasts a proud descent from the Blood Inquisition – the organization that worked with Omir Sarikusa himself in causing the Mabnen I rebellion. The corporation’s leader, Cyshade, [...]
The reignited debate over Transcranial Microcontrollers has proven to be a divisive one in the Empire, with camps divided over the chip's acceptability as a slave control tool. Many oppose them completely, while many others believe they are the way of the future. Middle ground is difficult to find, with only a few moderate voices chiming in. One of the most vocal critics was Lord Tarpur of Dakba. "The issue may seem minor, but it is endemic of the way more and more people are thinking. Slaves are [...]
Sahtogas – As the Amarr Navy attempts to rally their forces and regain some co-ordination, reports are coming in of marauding salvagers picking over the broken remains of the Amarr and Minmatar ships at battle sites that have now fallen silent. Amarrian reaction forces arriving at the scene, too late to make a difference, have begun to clear the area of these scavengers. Paladin Major Verinus in charge of one such task force making their way to the front lines gave a brief comment to reporters on the [...]
Villore - In the uneasy calm following CONCORD's call for a cessation of hostilities, there are already criticisms being levelled at Gallente President Souro Foiritan. Given emergency powers by the Gallente Senate as a result of that body's declaration of war on the Caldari State, President Foiritan was charged with the daunting task of providing leadership to the Federation's military forces, still reeling from the surprise Caldari attack. Though many lauded a calm and restraint that brought the [...]
Yulai, Sanctum, Genesis.. Late last night tragedy struck an Opus Luxury Yacht which was performing a tour around the system of Yulai. Without warning or apparent provocation a man who has since been identified as Hol Hignotta opened fire on the yacht which had been christened the Seven Seas. The Seven Seas had been hired by high ranking executives from 3 of the most prominent corporations from the Minmatar Republic. According to officials from the Yulai Search and Rescue team there were 22 dead bodies [...]
SEYLLIN - Freighters converted into medical wards have established orbits over the night side of Seyllin I and are accepting injured survivors. The overwhelming number of cases are severe burns and trauma caused by secondary splash-effect damage from local structures after the original event. As promised by President Foiritan, dropships have been returning full loads of people onto these floating hospitals nonstop, pausing only to take on fuel and returning immediately to the surface. The lack of [...]
The past several weeks have been witness to riots and bloodshed within several Caldari cities due to the actions of a CEP-classified “terrorist group” known as the Brothers of Freedom. Disillusioned citizens have taken to the streets, often in violent confrontations with the authorities. Lead by Melarius Torvil, the Brothers of Freedom claims to be working towards the “restoration of the Caldari people and the Caldari ideal”. Their repeated claims to bring an end to alleged corruption and self-serving [...]
Hedoubel – Last week, after hearing that The Order of Medusa tried to secure a system, The Sisters of EVE sent an armed fleet to investigate and offer aid if needed. They found the Order of Medusa were using the station in the system and its inhabitants as labrats for a new virus. With the help of several capsuleer corporations, including The Blessed Sisters of Amarr, Pod Radio, House of Flying Daggers, The Crescent Order, Ixion Defense Systems, Phoenix Wing, The Durandal Organization and Equilibrium [...]
Grand Master Horm of the Order of St. Tetrimon excommunicated an Amarrian pilot for heretical acts against the Order and the Amarr Empire earlier this week. The pilot, Revan Neferis, recently sought redemption from the Order but was unable to complete the conditions for a full pardon according to Horm's judgement. The Grand Master then condemned Revan "...to burn in the pits of damnation and heresy." Revan Neferis was originally condemned as part of the Tetrimon Order's denouncement of the Verisum [...]
Grand Master Horm of the Order of St. Tetrimon has called upon the Theology Council to remove the privileges granted by the Cross of the Sacred Throne Order in a GalNet publicized petition, openly challenging the Theology Council to act. The Grand Master named a particular pilot in this petition, Golan Trevize, who currently works for the Mercenary Coalition but is a former member of the 1st Praetorian Guard an Amarrian loyalist organisation. He was awarded the Cross of the Sacred Throne Order, one of [...]
Pimbeka - The infamous Order of St. Tetrimon today issued forth a short statement emanating from Khanid space. Read by Grand Master Horm, the statement welcomed Jamyl Sarum home and went on to say "God's children rejoice as His light returns home, and the light shall bring death and despair on His enemies." Nothing more was forthcoming.
The Ordo Magna alliance has announced that they will host a small and informal open tournament on April 4th. Promoted as 'The Templar Tournament', the occasion has previously been reserved for alliance members only. The Ordo Magna is an alliance formed from the Ordo Quaesitoris - a relatively old and secretive corporation that proclaimed loyalty to the Amarr Empire - and its sister corporations, Ordo Ars Scientia and Ordo Nigrorum Susurri. Previously, the tournament was run as a purely internal event, [...]
ORE THEFT - a practice frowned upon by most and reviled by legitimate miners seems to be on the rise. Ore thieves are dastardly pilots who take advantage of others that are using non-secure containers to mine in empire space, claiming right of salvage from the jettisoned cans - even if they are sitting right next to the owner's ship. "Unfortunately, right of salvage is law. My government has been attempting to push a bill that changes this in CONCORD protected space, but things happen slowly. Frankly, [...]
Although mere conjecture until recent hours, numerous credible yet confidential sources have confirmed that diplomatic ties between the ORE and the Mordus Legion have deteriorated to a breaking point. The relationship between the two powers over recent months has proven to be strained with a commonly held view that the source of the friction has arisen from disputes between the two faction leaders. Both Orion Mashel, founder of the Outer Ring Excavations Company, and Muryia Mordu, the leader of [...]
Tanoo, Derelik - Officials of the Theology Council working in the Ammatar Mandate have released details of a formal 'Survey of Faith' carried out in Derelik during the last three months, the main finding of which is that the Ammatar Church is being steadily supplanted by the orthodox Imperial codification of the Amarr faith. While the Ardishapur regime in the Mandate has taken no steps against the Ammatar Church, and indeed has expressly re-affirmed it as a valid sect of the Amarrian faith, the [...]
Gallente capsuleer Anderson became the proud owner of an Aeon class mothership last Wednesday thanks to an Otherworld Enterprises [OTHER] lottery. While similar raffles have been held by others in the past, few have offered such an advanced and expensive piece of military hardware. The contest marks Otherworld Enterprises' first foray into the lottery format, but even they were surprised when tickets sold out in under 36 hours. The largest block purchases of tickets were made by the winner Anderson [...]
Otro Gariushi, CEO of Ishukone Corporation, has publicly defended the deal his company made with the Khanid Kingdom regarding the controversial Transcranial Microcontrollers. Ishukone has received considerable flak for selling a product it knows will be used on slaves. But Gariushi has dismissed these criticisms as pure infantile babble. “Like every corporation, Ishukone has responsibilities towards its stockholders to be profitable, that’s the only reason for our existence.” Gariushi is quoted as [...]
Just when people thought he had disappeared forever, the Jovian renegade Ouria rears his ugly head yet again. Reliable sources indicate that Ouria, his gang and unidentified allies are on the move close to the Stain region and will be in the border zones adjacent to it at 17:00 GMT. CONCORD has already issued a general warning to all travelers in the area to take extra caution. Speculations are ripe that Ouria intends to block all access to the Stain region by setting up base in the border areas outside it.
The attempts made by Ouria and his Jovian followers to set up a base in the Stain region failed yesterday after a long and sustained conflict with the natives. It is believed the fierce opposition took Ouria and his gang by total surprise, which caused them to lose several ships and Jovian lives before they could strategically redeploy. Also lost in the attacks was some of the valuable tech that Ouria had taken with him from Jovian space. The gang finally managed to slip away from their assailants and [...]
RENS - An outbreak of fedos on a high visibility trading post has exposed massive flaws in the way stations are maintained. Despite being shunned by the majority of the space going public, the fedo has gained a small but sincere following among those who use them as cheap and effective cleaners for ships and orbital stations. Originally discovered and used by the Amarrians, fedos as space borne cleaners have only really been popularly picked up by Minmatar ship and station operators, although they are [...]
Netsalakka, The Bleak Lands - An official report by the Amarrian Ministry of Assessment yesterday revealed that The Bleak Lands has become the most dangerous sector of settled space in the Amarr Empire, a title previously held by the sparsely-settled region of Aridia. Long known to harbor pockets of Blood Raider loyalists, The Bleak Lands has seen a marked increase in the number of pirate raids in the last several months. In particular, the number of miners and prospectors in space attacked and [...]
Mikhir, Domain - The Office of the Imperial Chancellor has confirmed that there have been a number of refusals by holders to implement the slave release program as ordered by Empress Jamyl I. While most incidents have been isolated and quickly dealt with by local enforcement paladins, the Chancellor's officials have admitted that in both Aridia and Genesis regions there are significant pockets of holders resisting the order. Reports from Aridia and Genesis suggest that on several planets where labor- [...]

ASHAB | Amarr Empire Singed bits of biomass lay stretched over several thousand kilometers of space near the Amarr gate in Ashab this morning. The lives of over two-hundred and thirty-thousand slaves were extinguished as Amarr freighter pilot Darien Dashel violently exploded under the weapons of the Electus Matari (-EM-). Earlier the freighter, part of a rehabilitation convoy carrying recently freed slaves towards new homes and lives of freedom, veered suddenly towards the Amarr home worlds. The [...]
