Goonswarm 2015: We are not here to ruin your game, but to ~enhance your immersion~
The Mittani, CEO Update: The Imperial March
And here I thought a few jackets might be pushing things.
The CFC has been declared dead, a clusterfuck no longer. In its place rises the Imperium.
And the first act of the Imperium was to formally declare its loyalty to the True Emperor of Amarr, Maximilian Singularity VI. Any residual loyalty to the irredeemably tainted Empress Jamyl Sarum will be rooted out and destroyed and our ideological purity will be assured as guardians of The Sixth Empire.
I am not sure exactly when The Mittani fell under the sway of Maximilian Singularity VI, though he did mention his admiration for him publicly a couple of times before Fanfest (where Maximilian blessed other known figures), but now our coalition is wed to his crusade, with The Mittani names as “The Sword of Redemption.” His cause is now our cause.
Jamyl Sarum has stolen our Golden Empire and is no longer True Amarr… I am True
Amarr as Tash-Murkon and Kador family lines and I shall see in my time all four Empires in battle while a gathering storm of the fifth empire comes. We Capsuleers of all races are the rising Sixth Empire… and we shall follow a storm!All four empires are tainted. War is coming to them, my words will be true. The fifth empire is in turmoil. WE ARE THE SIXTH EMPIRE to rule the galaxy. The old ways are no more. Vitoc is an abomination we ALL SHALL BE FREE and no longer dogs of war to the poisoned State, Republic, Federation and Empire. I preach LOVE (and by love I mean lasers).
-Emperor Maximilian Singularity VI, to his Imperium forces before blessing his followers
Maximilian Singularity VI and his claims to the Amarr throne face issues, including a pro-Jamyl faction in Providence. But with the usual squabbling between the five houses, Jamyl’s weak position after violating the doctrine of sacred flesh, and the ever present pressure from the Blood Raiders and Sansha’s Nation, a claim to the Amarr throne backed by Imperium titans cannot be dismissed lightly.
Within the Imperium itself, a new order is being forged. Change is coming. Uniforms are being discussed and appropriate propaganda being prepared.
Meanwhile, out in the farms and fields of sovereign null sec, the N3 appears to be falling apart under pressure from all sides.
Delve continues to be overrun and, in a surprise move, Imperium forces declined to deploy to the obvious choice of ZXB-VC in Delve and moved instead to a base designed to block Darkness and The Kadeshi (themselves working out of 1-SMEB) from having easy access to their route out to low sec Aridia. Sahkt it to me?
NCDot has decided to abandon Querious and has reset its renters in the region. The Germans may be stepping in however, as Ev0ke has already said they are headed that way.
Meanwhile, Nulli Secunda, unironically based for the moment in the system 3-BADZ in Feythabolis (and thus inspiring a new nickname for the N3 coalition, The Three Bads), facing the threat of Pandemic Legion dropping on them, is reported to now be headed for the exits as well, giving line members very short notice to pack their stuff.
So with all of that plus Brave already leaving null sec (or maybe headed to 1DH-SX in Delve, I don’t know, what with coup and counter-coup) and the Russians reportedly interested in exploiting N3’s weakness, the Imperium set to set to return to its new, Fozzie-sov-sized domain (consisting of the regions Deklein, Fade, Pure Blind, Tribute, Tenal, Branch, and Vale of the Silent) while dropping sov on its other conquests and holdings (Delve, Fountain, Cloud Ring, and anything else we might take along the way), and I don’t know what going on in Wicked Creek, the declining weeks of the Dominion sovereignty system look to be interesting times. The map will change before the updates hit. I need to put that sov war updates blog in my reader.
And then we will have Fozzie-sov where, we hope, the real fun and chaos will begin.
While that is all going on, the troops of the Imperium are still out in the field and still taking sovereignty from its foes the old-fashioned, Dominion-style way. Last night Reavers shot an infrastructure hub and reinforced a station while I was on, while dodging neutral or disenfranchised renter.
Tonight there will be another station. Tomorrow there will probably be another ihub. Or a POS. Or another station. Or some SBUs. The war goes on. Sovereignty will be overturned and infrastructure smashed.
And so it goes, until there is no more enemy and Emperor Maximilian Singularity VI sits on his throne without dispute. Amarr Victor!
