Title: Into The Abyss
Briefing: Jamyl Sarum, or more properly Empress Jamyl I, is the current Empress of the Amarr Empire. Shortly after the Battle of Mekhios, she was proclaimed Empress, despite some opposition from those who wondered about her mysterious return to life. She was proclaimed, though, in an unorthodox way, as she was accepted by all Heirs and the Theology Council as Empress, and no Trial by combat was made, as it was usual. Her coronation into power was widely broadcast throughout the Amarrian Empire with billions in attendance Behind the veil of her Amarr Navy, orders are issued through military agents for the evil denizens of Amarr to strike out against the Minmatar. Likewise, organizations such as the Tribal Liberation Force and T.R.I.A.D send out Matari warriors to strike back against the Amarrian threat. The Sarum family has always been the most belligerent of the royal families, always willing to take up arms whenever required. The family has vested interest in the Amarr military and the armaments industry. They are the only royal family that wants to revive the Reclaiming efforts of old. More and more Amarrian fighters are being put against the Republic and it is time for us to strike back and hit them where those warriors are born. We need to mount a strike into the Amarrian homeworlds itself - into the very heart guarded by the Amarrian Navy and to tear down all those we see as a threat to the Minmatar Repbulic! Early in January YC111, in a bold initiative from the Amarr Empire, Empress Jamyl announced a multi-trillion ISK package of investment into the Caldari State. The Caldari-Amarr Economic Stimulus Agreement (CAESA) was negotiated with the assistance of the Tash-Murkon Family and the Khanid Kingdom but reactions within the Empire were mixed. While the more liberal Tash-Murkon and Kor-Azor hailed the investment package, religious conservatives and Amarr business leaders expressed concern that such investment should more properly be aimed at Amarrian businesses. In the Caldari State reactions were almost entirely favourable, with Executor Tibus Heth welcoming the package and pledging that the Amarr Empire would receive a profitable return on the investment. In a development related to the emancipation, the Caldari Providence Directorate announced it would be making available a number of experienced trainers for secondment within the Amarr Empire to train former slaves who choose to take up residence there. Ever since, it has been clear that both the Amarr and Caldari are supporting each other in their wars against the Minmatar Republic and the Gallente Federation.

Title: Brothers In Arms
Briefing: Our new allies in Defiant Legacy are planning an offensive to assist our Gallente allies. Intaki has fallen to the Caldari - no doubt the foul Amarr were involved in the assault. Wex Manchester of Murientor Tribe has sent out the following message: Greetings CEOs, I've received confirmation from the Gallente organizer. The offensive to retake Intaki and surrounding systems is an all-day event on Mar 24, so we can choose our own schedule. Tkotm suggested we should travel in BCs and have reships (destroyers and cruisers) sent via either carrier or freighter. I think that's a good plan, but will leave the planning to you folks. The high sec staging point if we're going to freighter supplies shoud probably be <> since it's only 3 jumps to Intaki, which is the heart of the operation. That's regardless of our travel route. It might be fun to bust the entire fleet into <> like we did the last time we roamed to the <> zone. Many memorable local chat reactions from the pirates we surprised were broadcast. :) I will be contacting Murie's list of corporate friends in Gallente Militia to ensure they update their standings to reflect our new alliance. I'll also get us set up in the Gallente Militia Teamspeak server. I am cc:ing <> on this mail; I am assuming that he will coordinate any <> elements who are free to join us. I will also mention this informally to <> leadership, but I wouldn't expect them to be able to join us. And, frankly, it would be good not to leave the home front too undefended. For freedom, Wex We shall be moving out from Eszur at pace in BattleCruisers with a Thanatos playing a supporting role.
