Lords and Ladies, Mr Secretary, honourable Delegates,
Operation Deliverance originally sought to pacify the pirate-ridden lows security corridor between Kheram and Yong. Upon it's completion our brothers in Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris pledged themselves to the war agains the terrorists in what is known as the „warzone“ while the remainder of the Curatores Veritatis Alliance launched a continuation of Deliverance to face the enemy in Providence. Both arms of one body aim to eventually bring back their current area of operations into the embrace of the empire. Full annexation has always been our ultimate goal and we must never abandon it.
The fact that, pressured by political realities and hindered by the cascade of developments, imperial authorities have not yet approached us should not weaken our resolve.
This Operation with the ambitious goal of the total reclaiming of an entire region of space, an area 1/3 the size of of the Caldari State or the Minmatar held space, is only a few years old, certainly a negligable amount of time to us empyreans. During this time the Empire has seen the assassination of two emperors, the tyrrany of an usurper, the Minmatar Rebellion, the Incursion of Sansha Kuvakei's followers, the rise of and fall of mad capsuleer factions, the opening of Anoikis, the emergence of the Drifters and much more. At what point was time for the empire to challenge CONCORD by incorporating us? Why should it when the region was as well administrated as it has been? Our formal stance is not relevant as long as we treat this region as if it already were part of the empire. We are amarr for all but formality. We do not need CONCORD approval to obey. Let us not shed doubt on this by declaring anything else.
Rather it is time to evaluate the progress of our Operation and make adjustments to our course.
Yes the enemies of Old have been purged and Providence is firmly in our hands.
The space taken in Catch as part of the second expansion of Operation Deliverance has been granted to our allies in the Volition Cult and this part of the Operations is to be seen as concluded focussing all eyes again on Providence alone.
To form this into a proper region to be fully acknowledged we need not only take and defend a few territorial claim units but focus on the development of a civic society with a functioning administration, catering not only to the needs of capsuleers but all inhabitants.
I propose to issue a declaration to this effect followed by the establishment of the necessary administrative bodies.
This post will be updated with links to related proposals concerning the creation of councils
and the wording of the declaration to be suggested to the Magistrate.
Please discuss the declaration and the general ideas of my suggested plan in this thread. More specific concerns should be voiced in the relevant proposal's thread.
