Massive Anti-Slavery Operation Underway - Republic, Capsuleers Working Together
12.07.120
SAN MATAR - We are reporting from Nirbhi in the San Matar constellation, on the third day of the “Dawn of Liberation” -operation. Hundreds of thousands slaves have been liberated so far from “unsanctioned labour camps” across Amarr Empire, Ammatar Mandate, and some sources claim, in Angel Cartel space, by joint operations of various capsuleer forces and Republic Justice Department vessels.
This operation is planned to last two weeks and coincides with the Liberation Day celebrations, the 140th standard year anniversary of the Great Rebellion that bought through blood, sweat and tears freedom to trillions of Minmatar.
Several capsuleers have voiced criticism of the operation, particularly in that Republic Justice Department operated transports appear to have great difficulties in reaching the sites in sufficient numbers, often leaving rescuers with an overabundance of freed slaves on their ships, as the modified Wreathe -class transports seem to have sacrificed a great deal of transport room in exchange for exceptional maneuverability and countermeasures to be able to move through Amarrian- and their allies territories without being intercepted.
The lack of sufficient numbers of transports has to the horror of many, led to unconfirmed reports that some capsuleers have simply abandoned unknown numbers of “surplus” slaves to their fates in jettisonable cargo containers, which aren’t built to last in vacuum for more than a couple of hours, effectively meaning in most cases abandoning these people to their deaths.
No official statements regarding these criticisms and reports have so far been released.
Rectification: The transports were previously erroneously referred to as Mammoth -class transports. They are actually a modified Liberator variant of the Wreathe -class.
