24th IC Medal and Empress
"Kezti Sundara Awards Imperia Militia Pilots with Military Distinction "

Money quote on Empress:
"Rumors continue to circulate among the media relating to the wellbeing of Empress Jamyl I, after her abstinence from public appearances since September YC116, with Chamberlain Haromi attending public events in her absence. The long delay in the issue of this decoration, along with its presentation by Grand Admiral Sundara rather than the head of state, as is traditional in the Empire, has left a number of media outlets speculating on the Empress’ whereabouts and wellbeing."

I hope she finally loses it to the other and Khanid II kicks her out of an airlock.

"Demon." *kick for great justice*

Honestly, I'd love to see her suddenly reappear and lead the multi-national assault against the Sleepers/Vigilant Tyrannos Jove, throwing off the metaphorical chains of the Other on her mind as well as throwing off the even-more-metaphorical chains of the shitty plotline CCP wrapped her in.

I've always felt like the EVE plot was always potentially interesting enough with just the big 4 and sub-factions mixing it up; the deus-ex-machina Jove / Other / Sleeper business I couldn't be less interested in.

Like, dramatic space opera mashup with tons of factions to work with isn't enough? I know, let's bring in the Borg.

Wait wait, virtual reality sleeping Borg.  With space mind control.

Yes. Deus Ex Machinas work sometimes in novels, but in MMOs...

Anyway, I would have been fine with sleepers and stuff if they just remained what they are supposed to be : dangerous remnants and artifacts of a past long gone.

Too Mary Sue for me. She already stinks of Mary Sue, I'm just going to facepalm if she also happens to play the hero one last time to save the galaxy.

This is actually exactly why I'd like Jamyl to reject the Other and go back to being an actual empress. It'd be a giant finger in the face of that so we can get back to the original, interesting state of things... and a big warning not to piss off the Big 4; just because they're slow to be roused doesn't mean they're ignorable.

So much. So, so much.

I mean, I could see the Jove, I thought it was an interesting twist on the trope of the 'vanished ancients' to have them kind of still hanging out but just at the end of a long decline. All the later stuff though.

Also, ignoring the period of time around TEA I think Jamyl's reign has been pretty interesting.

Jove seem a pretty verbatim ripoff of the Vorlons, down to the organic ships and appearing as angels for the younger civilizations...

I don't have any problem with a militant Sarumite Empress running the empire, but it's not like they couldn't have just had new trials (WITH PLAYER INTERACTION EVENTS) to decide the new ruler.  No need for all the WTF clone business.

Look familiar?

Fantastic. One of the main reasons I originally picked up the Amarr was to do with the chronicle "All these wayward children".

Any hyper powerful female figure that can put the "heeby jeebies" on people just by looking at them and is prone to drug induced orgies has to be worth following through to the end.

In the grim future there is only sandalwood scented bodyoil and little floating candles.

CCP teases us again. At the tail end of a new scope video, if you watch the scrolling news bar you see the words. "Empress Jamyl I attends..." before the screen fades. Who knows what she attends, but maybe it's a public appearance or something drifter related. I'm starting to like these scope videos.
