The Emperor is dead (again)

Heartland

Oh noes!  Doriam Kor-Azor has fallen to an evil assassain (news isn't up as of this time, but it seems eve-i have culled some news from the official site).   

The Emperor is dead - long live the Emperor! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stunning news has just filtered out of the Amarr Empire. Doriam II, Emperor of Amarr, is dead at the hands of an unknown assailant.

Details are still sketchy at this moment, but the Emperor's death has just been confirmed by the Imperial Chancellor's Office. The Privy Council has been called together to sit in emergency session.

Chamberlain Karsoth, the acting regent, was visibly shaken when confronted by the media outside his office an hour ago. Nevertheless standing firm in his condemnation of the heinous act, he stated that the Empire would "spare nothing in hunting down the perpetrators, wherever they might hide."

While the Chamberlain refused to confirm early rumors as to the killer's identity, he did state that "foreign elements will not succeed in spreading chaos and discord throughout our great empire." When asked to elaborate the Chamberlain declined to comment any further, instead urging his nation to "remain brave in the face of this unspeakable tragedy."

The Imperial Navy has been put on full alert. All border areas are being closely watched, particularly those leading into Republic and Federation space, with emergency stargate reroute plans reportedly being put into effect.

More news as they come in.

And so it begins....? (The Cold War, that is)

Minnies rejoice! The emporer of the decietfull Amarr Empire has fallen! Hail the new era where the Minmattar race can free itself from the grip of the oppressor!

Concord is the only real oppressor.

By Amarr standards, Doriam was a reformer.

Cold War indeed.. one should be expecting a Sarajevo circa 1914 to the next power.

It may or may not have been minmatar terrorists working to disrupt relations between the two peaceful republics. It's hard to imagine them being sufficiently competent to pull that off, thus one expect some internal dispute, perhaps connected with the repugnant sani sabik, or dare we concieve it, corruption within the Holders or higher officialdom.

It matters little in the end. However, if it was sponsored by the Minmatar republic, then they will pay a severe price. If that bifurcated nation of barbaric and primitive savages can't see the light of Reason, and seek peace, then they need to be hurled down fully into the darkness they seek to sow elsewhere.

There will be a reckoning.

So what you think guys what coalition will arise?
I think it could be amarr+caldari vs gallente+minmmatar
As caldari dont love gallentians and amarr+minmmatar realy have no chance as each hates the others.

So as i said i would go for amarr+caldari coalition as both are ,more or less, military states plus gallente are "humanist" and dont like amarr slavery so they easily can ally with minmmatars,for example, if this assasination will be proved minmmatar made...

Also i just noticed that almost in middle of gallente space amarr and caldari owns some systems,more or less deep in gallente space, and are real close,so it would be possible to choke few systems and turn gallente into 2 parts...It would be realy interesting but i`m in doubt that kali can bring such radical changes,but we will see what whole this Cold War will be about.
Nevertheless it would be nice scenario i think...

Thats all of mine speculations

So what ya think guys?

So where are the Jovians through all this? Could this be a big Jovian plot to start strife among the other races so that they can swoop in and finish them off after they're weakend?
