Indeed. Though this is a decision that is far above anyone here’s level of authority. The decision to join the CONCORD agreement, which forestalls any attempts to reconquer the Rebel Provinces, was made at the highest levels of the Empire. It is our duty to respect that agreement.
The CEWPA Warzone is the only contested territory currently, and LUMEN has launched operations supporting the Militia there in the past and fully intends to do so in the future. Unfortunately, the unrelenting hostility from the current Militia Warlords makes such operations difficult at this time.
I do not believe anyone will find me remiss in my duty. However, I am aware that in antiquity the Emperors of old did choose in their wisdom to make peace and enter into treaty with the unbelievers of the time. It was never the Amarr Empire that reneged upon its word and broke treaty to undertake violence. I think every opportunity was given to the unbeliever to submit earth and water to the Empire and God before it was made clear that peace was no longer an option.
I think we live in a similar age. We must now embody the mercy of God and provide as much opportunity for the unbelievers to submit of their own volition and accept the Rite. Knowing this, I cannot help but look to the past and feel that again even as the faithful act with mercy that the nations of the unbelievers will break compact to make war upon Holy Amarr.
If one day I am called upon to make a hecatomb of the people of the Republic due to the Minmatar desire for violence, I can at least do so with a clear conscience. That every opportunity was given for submission to God, and that the faithful kept true to their word given.
