The Amarrian Committee of Moral Purity and Elimination of Vice has condemned Stavros' claims that he intends to go forth as an Emperor. The Amarrian ruling system is an ancient and proven far more efficient at retaining order and peace than the decrepit and chaotic system sometimes referred to as Democracy. It considers his public appeal for the Throne heretical to say the least and strongly urges him to retract his bid and apologize publicly for making the remarks he did where he criticised various [...]
Jeni, Kor-Azor - Touraj Miyan, a noted Holder in the Kor-Azor region, has come under fire from many influential Amarrians - including Holders, Navy Admirals, members of the Heir Families, and priests - following the discovery that he placed a large wager on the Star Fraction in the latest Alliance Tournament. It is unsure how information about the wager was discovered, though it came to light when rival Holder, Iraj Darabi, confronted Miyan during a public meeting of holders in the Jatari [...]
Amarrian loyalist forces dealt a blow to the Ushra'Khan alliance last Sunday evening by destroying a Starbase that they believed was a terrorist training camp. The Starbase was located deep in space that is claimed by the Minmatar alliance. Representatives of the 70-man fleet claimed this action as a direct response to the destruction of an amarrian Holder, Jamir Torash, by the Ushra'Khan Alliance, an event that took place last week. The U'K itself later condemend the action as "a petty revenge attack [...]
New Eden - PIE Inc. recently sent out a call to all Amarrians to nominate the pilots who have done the most for the Empire this past year.

The names of the nominees were passed to the members of PIE Inc., who then voted for the capsuleer of their choice. PIE Inc. CEO, Admiral Rodj Blake , was on hand for the inaugural event to deliver [...]
HEDION - Calling it "God's cleansing fire," a vocal Amarr fundamentalist group has released a statement in the wake of reports of the catastrophic solar event in Seyllin. The statement, released by the God's Righteousness Conclave, was transmitted minutes ago, drawing a mixture of support and ire from populations. "The event in Seyllin has long been foretold by the scriptures. Those who deny God's will and those who support heresy are subject to His judgment. The fury and the wrath of the Seyllin star [...]
Not long after the assault on Andrub, reports from eyewitnesses across the Kor Azor region have been filtering back claiming a "frightening lack of cohesion" in the already troubled Imperial forces. It is understood that the crippled Ministry of War station served as a central hub for regional defence command and is now offline. According to reports, the removal of this vital link in the Amarrian defence network has left regional defence forces in complete disarray. In perhaps the most startling rumor [...]
Last fortnight saw the Aegis Militia declare a formal war against The Cyrene Initiative after an apparent escalation in hostilities between the two alliances. While casual observers speculated on the GalNet Communications Network as to the reasons behind the conflict, it became apparent that pilots within The Cyrene Initiative had provoked the hostilities; either through direct aggression on AM shipping or through other actions which the Aegis Militia had deemed a threat to their wellbeing. Speaking [...]
SEC trade analysts have reported curiously high levels of trade, particularly in the Kashag constellation, Domain region. Several suppliers of electronics, machinery and tactical weapons in the region have reported their stockpiles exhausted.

Yesterday was not a good day for the Amarrian Paramilitary organization, the CVA, as it lost one of its most prominent members and Admirals – Golan Trevize. Today I met with Mr Trevize to discuss his reasons for leaving PIE, a corporation he has been a major part of for a number of years. Although he was reluctant to give his reasons for leaving past stating that it was for "personal reasons" due to "unsolvable differences between myself and PIE senior staff". He was, however, was willing to reiterate [...]
KOR-AZOR – A war that began two months ago because of a perceived insult to an Amarrian Holders daughter has ground to a stalemate in the Kor-Azor Region. House Darabi, lead by Iraj Darabi, declared war on House Miyan after Touraj Miyan refused to apologize for unflattering remarks he made about Darabi’s daughter Mina. Although House Miyan’s fleet is nearly twice the size of House Darabi’s, creative tactics by Darabi fleet commanders have made both sides somewhat evenly matched and the war looks to [...]
The immense Tal-Romon Cathedral has been safely transported piece by piece from Eclipticum to Amarr Prime, where it will be reconstructed on the Amarr continent itself. The cathedral debate pitted the Amarr Emperor Doriam II against the royal heir Catiz Tash-Murkon, who was the previous owner of the cathedral before the emperor confiscated it. Though the Tash-Murkon family did not openly oppose the emperor on the matter it is well known that they supported private efforts to foil the transportation [...]
On the heels of the shocking announcement that the missing Theology Council justices were executed by Imperial Paladins following a failed assassination attempt on Court Chamberlain Dochuta Karsoth, Holders and officials around the Empire are expressing varying degrees of shock and relief. "This could have been a disaster," said Holder Athakus Penn. "Should the Court Chamberlain have fallen, the Empire truly would be rudderless. It is a sign of God's divine will that he was spared." "I knew of Lord [...]
The news that the Caldari won favor with the Jovians has met with mixed reaction within the Amarr Empire. While the Imperial Chancellor has sent formal congratulations to the Caldari State, thanking them for an honorable competition; the Theology Council has criticized how the competition was configured, claiming it favored the Caldari and the Gallenteans. Uriam Kador has even went so far as saying that he was convinced that the whole thing was rigged from the outset, as everyone knew that the Jovians [...]

Sasta, Derelik - The Ammatar Fleet has launched its first 'Yonis variant' Abaddon-class battleship from a military shipyard in Sasta, the Fleet HQ system. The launch is the first of an unspecified number of Abaddon-class battleships from the Ardishapur house fleet that are being refitted for duties with the Ammatar Fleet.

Ibrar Ondagoi, the Governor of Ammatar, yesterday afternoon released a statement claiming the Amarr government was “informed well in advance” of the Ammatar Consulate’s intention of entering into talks with the Minmatar Republic. The reason the talks were kept secret, the statement says, is that “neither the Empire nor its mandate wanted to give opportunistic hatemongers a reason to incite violence in protest of peaceful communication.” The Governor issued his statement after several meetings with [...]
Tanoo, Derelik - Officials of the Amarr Trade Registry monitoring the Ammatar Mandate have declared that food production within the Derelik region has returned to pre-invasion levels with a consequent reduction in food imports from other regions of the Amarr Empire. Since the Elder Invasion, the Mandate has been highly dependent on food imports and has barely managed to stave off famine in some areas. The Elder Invasion of YC110 caused widespread damage to many agricultural plantations within the [...]

Reports are coming in that mutinies have broken out on some Ammatar Navy vessels, with an uncertain number being commandeered by Minmatar sympathizers. Reports say that the majority of these [...]

Prior to the Minmatar Invasion, Karnell served aboard an Ammatar Navy vessel conducting experiments of high importance to the Amarr Empire.

Since the demand was made two days ago by freespace radicalist organization The Star Fraction that Amarrian nationalist paramilitaries the Curatores Veritatis Alliance hand over to them 500 Sebiestor slaves due to be auctioned off in the near future, the GalNet forums have been awash with debate. The Interstellar Correspondents recently managed to get a hold of owner-captain Jade Constantine of the SF for answers to a few questions surrounding the situation. Soleil Sarrasin: Miss Constantine, there [...]
Today we take a look at the Curatores Veritatis Alliance, known cluster-wide as the CVA. I was able to sit down with Aralis, CEO of the Amarrian loyalist industrial powerhouse Imperial Dreams, and the executor of the CVA, for an in-depth look at the last year of it's operations in the Providence region. Raekhan: Imperial Dreams has been the industrial backbone of CVA since it's inception. How did your corporation come to be in the beginning? Aralis: It was formed almost as soon as pod pilots hit [...]
LUMINAIRE – I received an invitation from Inspector Xavier, the newly appointed commander of the regional Drugs Squad of Placid, to his office at the headquarters of the Federation Customs. He was very keen on explaining to me what his team had done during the four weeks of their deployment within the region. Currently this part of space is seeing a major increase in the usage of the drug ‘Rise', so I accepted his invitation and after inspecting his new team we got down to business over a bottle of [...]
