How sad when a group of people build a religious system around such horrible deeds. Making a religion of boody violence, establishing a holy sounding jargon around acts of supreme evil; how pathetic! Do you really feel holy? What a corruption of mind and heart must happen in the soul of a person to generate such depravity clothed in false spirituality!
Hey Ston, we've picked up over 600 deadbeats so far from various pirate & terrorist wrecks over the last few months and not even one of them knows how to make decent eggs benedict.. Thank God you came around to take all of this dead weight off our hands. They've all been contracted over to you. Come pick them up whenever you want.
Now... you were saying something about the Amarr? EvE Forum Bingo |

I'm guessing you meant the Blood Raiders then. By all means, vaporize those heathen cannibals whenever you see them. Those savages have no appreciation for the value of human life and are beyond any hope of redemption, let alone elevation. EvE Forum Bingo |

The designation is a euphemism for those who because of physical strength are often worked nearly to death. When we rescue them, they are usually on their way out of Empire space to be sold in the other sovereignties.
Actually, that's a bit of an anachronism. In modern times an "Elite" slave refers to one that has valuable skills and is actually used for things other than brute labor. Butlers, chauffeurs, chefs, etc. The staple of a Holder's personal household staff, basically. The computer networks are a bit slow to keep up on these things, I guess.
They're also considered illegal contraband outside of the Empire, so I have no idea who would be trying to sell them outside of our own borders. Well, actually I do... and illegal slavers caught in Empire space end up in chains themselves when caught. Anyone trying to sell slaves outside of the Empire would fall in that category, as it is a violation of both CONCORD and Imperial law.
Anyway... we contracted another 70 survivors over to you (30 tourists, 10 exotic dancers, 20 militants). In case you were wondering where they came from it is the same as the last batch: Sometimes I do security contracts for various local governments against the pirate factions that plague New Eden. Not being satisfied with merely destroying their ships I make a point to rip apart any of their structures that I find that they may be using - docking bays, storage silos, habitation modules, etc. When I do the inhabitants & former prisoners there have a way of ending up in cargo pods, which I then retrieve. When we get tired of having them sit around our office & eating our food, we send them your way.
It's pretty obvious why pirate trash would keep exotic dancers around. My sympathies go out to them - I thought my own captivity was bad enough.
The tourists - sheesh, I don't know what the heck those people were doing at a pirate station. They all claim that they were prisoners, but you may want to check their pockets before letting them go. I don't trust them.
As for those militants - they all got pulled from the wreckage of two pirate ships that were looking to start trouble and are, technically, simply surviving pirate crew. While I'd personally like nothing more than to slap them into irons & send them to go work in a rock quarry for a few centuries, well like I said, one needs a license & years of training to be a legal slaver, and I have neither. So I guess they got off easy. But just keep that in mind when deciding who gets the smaller ration packs the next time supplies run short. EvE Forum Bingo |

It is this scandal that we work against each and every day. Outside of that, I am not sure what other scandal there may be.
Uh-huh. Alright, since you asked, I'll tell you: Slaves are illegal in the Caldari State. That's the scandal. See, the nature of our alliance is that we don't break each others' rules. We don't try to import/export slaves from the State and they don't go messing with our slaves in the Empire. Pretty simple... until someone breaks that deal.
If someone was trying to import slaves into the State, they're breaking that deal, and have thus made enemies out of both of our governments.
Speaking of legal issues... I recently picked up 5 x slavers and 50 x slaves that I'd like to hand over to you, but can't due to contract restrictions (see above). Why would an Amarrian loyalist do such a thing, you ask? Because they're not ours - they're survivors from a Blood Raider installation that I blew the unholy crap out of recently, meaning that as far I can tell these are Blood Raider slavers (and thus enemies of the Empire) and the innocent people that they had captured (and therefore not criminals or POWs and thus not candidates for slavery under our laws).
I also picked up some slaver hounds but I'm keeping those because they're cute.
If you have any pilots in Ammatar space I can arrange a direct exchange at some point in the future if you like. EvE Forum Bingo |

Hmmm... how about no? Does no work for you?
Ston Momaki wrote:and to make Mandate space and legal sanctuary for all slaves seeking citizenship within the Republic. Let Mandate space become a place where slaves may receive legal status as freed slaves and be allowed to pass without fear into the Republic.
It should be noted that according to regulations that already are. Once a Holder releases a slave they're considered citizens, and citizens can go pretty much wherever they want.
While I suppose some more stubborn holders may employ politically neutral bounty hunters to bring back escaped slaves, no licensed slaver is allowed to operate outside of Empire or Mandate space. This is in accordance with CONCORD treaties, which all four of the great nations have signed - though one in particular seems to forget that whenever they feel like it.
And considering that we're getting rather sick of all the constant raids & attacks, and that our navy is even moreso tired of putting up with their constant crap, I'd say that the Mandate is probably the worst place right now to be trying to ferry slaves out of. The border patrol is pretty jumpy & cranky to say the least, legal papers or not. EvE Forum Bingo |

Actually... his group is mostly a humanitarian rescue operation, picking up abandoned cargo pods with people still trapped inside. The passengers aren't always slaves and even if they were if it's outside our borders we can't say anything about it. I've used his service to dump off various people that I've rescued from anti-pirate missions over the last year, because we aren't a humanitarian rescue operation (I just hate to see life wasted for no reason).
Besides, if they were just left to die then that would certainly deny them any chance of Salvation. So long as they remember that the person who pulled them out of the rapidly cooling life-pod was a member of the Faith then hopefully that will leave a strong enough impression on them to maybe take up the Faith themselves.

I have noticed a trend for pods filled with slaves to end up floating right outside of jump gates leading out of Amarr space. A prudent move for those wishing to avoid custom's reprisals, but also a pretty heartless one as well.
At any rate, if you ever want to make a pattern of regular patrols, that would be a good place to start. It seems that a lot pilots would rather just leave these people to die rather than spend thirty seconds docking at the nearest station and unloading them safely. Live Events are neither. |

I assume the proper authorities were informed and the criminals in question dealt with? Honestly, I often question why the Empire even allows slaves to enter the SCC markets when our own laws specifically limit such trade to licensed slavers and Holders. That they would be made available to anyone with ISK to throw around is a clear violation of Imperial Law, the SCC be damned. In fact... I'm going to start asking some uncomfortable questions right now... looking up contact info presently.

Ston Momaki wrote:On the border of the Amarr Empire and the Caldari State, capsuleer pilots routinely jettison their cargoes of Slaves and Elite Slaves before crossing into the State from Amarr space.
Glad to see you took my advice. Yes, every time I have to hold my nose and make a trip to Jita I always find canisters full of living people along the way. The sick thing is that they're often jettisoned in systems that have a nearby station just a few AUs from the gate... and they can't even be bothered take a minute, dock up, and unload them first.
Which is what I do - l dock, unload the people, do my business in Jita, come back, dock again, load them back on and go home. I'd like to think that a human life is worth two minutes of a pilot's time, but then maybe we just see things differently than non-Amarrian capsuleers... kind of hard to develop delusions of Godhood when you spend that much time on your knees praying in churches, y'know?
Speaking of which... I've got a few more people that I liberated from various chunks of pirate wreckage for you. Want me to contract them over? The day CCP codes together a bot program that slaps 30 day forum bans on anyone who says "can I have your stuff?" the overall average IQ of the EvE forums will quintuple overnight. |

Have these people been reading the Gospel according to Saint Bastard? I swear some these so-called "Amarrian loyalists" have got to be on the TLF payroll under the table or something, because it's like they're getting their scripts straight from the "Official Republic Guide to Evil-Amarrian Racial Stereotyping" or something.
So to clarify: When the Empress orders everyone to release their slaves, it's cool. When someone rescues slaves that have been left to die in deathcans, that's not cool?
Got news for you, kids. The moment Holder puts a slave on the market, that means they're giving up any legal claim on them. If some capsuleer comes along, buys them, and dump them at a gate then they're abandoned property. Picking them up is no more a crime than salvaging someone elses' wrecks.
Now you can pick them up and, if you want, put them right back on the market. Or you can try to smuggle them into another nation's space and declare them free. Or you can turn them over the DSTON and they can declare them free. And all of these actions are perfectly legal because when a capsuleer picks up a slave in Empire space then they are legally the property of that capsuleer. Not the Holder who originally sold them, not the person who dumped them into space. They belong to whoever picks them up and flies them to a station, just like any other kind of salvage.
In other words, though it lacks all of the honorifics, technically you just became that slave's Holder. And as their Holder you can quite legally choose to declare them free if that's what you want.
So here is the irony of all these nitwits claiming that DSTON is somehow violating Holder's rights or something: DSTON are Holders, but minus the titles. See legal crap above. They become pseuod-Holders when they load slaves into their cargo bays. And as such they are perfectly within their rights to free their slaves if they want to.
In fact, here is something for all those Republic terrorists to chew on: They can, as capsuleers, perform service to the Empire, gain standings with our government, legally enter Empire space, go to a trade hub where Holders are selling slaves, legally buy them and then, as their new legal owners, set them free. See, now wasn't that easy?
TLDR: It is well within the rights of every Empire slave Holder to emancipate their own slaves whenever they see fit. Nullsec in a Nutshell: http://nedroid.com/comics/2006-08-24-2155-arrrdino.gif |
