Pator, Kulheim RSS, 111/12/09, for immediate release.

Rumormongers have no doubt already noticed corporations leaving Electus Matari. This is to confirm the following:

1) Yes, this has indeed happened. Gradient, SoE Roughriders, and Re-Awakened Technologies have left the alliance today. Yes, this obviously is in order to join the Tribal Liberation Force.

2) Yes, while technically away from the alliance, we still consider ourselves members of Electus Matari, and abide by its rules and regulations as far as possible. The ties that bind us together as an alliance are stronger than CONCORD bureaucracy.

3) This move is part of a premeditated campaign with defined goals and duration. We will rejoin the alliance when the goals have been accomplished or the preset duration ends, whichever happens sooner.

4) No, we will of course not explain the details of said campaign in public.

To Electus Matari blues: we will not for the most case actively seek corporation level positive standings for the duration of the campaign, but will rely on NRDS and our concentrating on the Militia targets. Should this pose problems of friendly fire, please contact the CEOs of the corporations; +5 to EM blues will be granted after simple confirmation of mutual standings.

For Electus Matari reds-for-crimes: we still consider you valid targets. You have been warned.

For the Caldari Militia: be adviced that we consider you KOS alongside the Amarr.

For our brothers and sisters in the fight: Let's go blow stuff up.

I hereby declare my oath of loyalty to the Minmatar Republic. I absolutely and wholly renounce all pledges, fidelities, and allegiances to any foreign sovereignties or powers. I swear to support and defend the Minmatar Republic, its people, policies, holdings, and agents, its sovereignty and the integrity of its territory against all enemies and usurpers, foreign and domestic. I will bear arms on behalf of the Minmatar Republic in times of war, and will perform civil service on its behalf in times of peace. I will obey, uphold, and defend its laws and treaties. I will perform work of national importance under governmental, military, or civilian direction as required by the Minmatar Republic in times of emergency. I make this commitment unreservedly, with no mental reservation or purpose of evasion.

With this oath, I affirm and assert my loyalty to the Minmatar Republic.
