Also, it does confuse the hell out of me that Carim lists Ingvalt, Olivie, and Ixpellia in the same sentence. Einhart says in ViVid that Ingvalt (and Olivie, of course), lived about a hundred years before present (which roughly corresponds to the current length of the Mid-Childan calender). On the other hand, Ixy claims in SSX to be over 1000 years old (disc 2, track 19), which means that she first ruled Galea before the Belkan Empire was established (before the time of the Kaisers and while Al-Hazard was still accessible, see disc 2, track 3). Unless she "ruled" continuously, or awakened sporadically during these thousand years (or awakened briefly during Olivie's lifetime), she couldn't have possibly occupied the same timeslot as the other two. And IF that were the case, you'd think that there would be more info on Ixpellia and Mariage than just a brief note in the Infinity Library, considering how the story of Olivie and Ingvalt is practically taught in schools...

In fact, IX flat out said she was before Vivio's time. Also, keep in mind that Einhart's phrase of 'one century of regret' can as well mean 'Ingvalt regretted that for almost a century (while alive), especially when you remember Olivie was flat out said to have died 300 years ago in StrikerS. |

As for why they used Ixpellia during the Unification War and not to prevent being conquered by the Belkans in the first place... a few thoughts come to mind. Maybe Belka originally conquered them before the system was discovered, and they didn't see the point of using it in a revolution until the Empire was fragmented enough that they had a reasonable shot at gaining independence. Or the original Belkan Empire conquered them in spite of Ixpellia, being an interstellar empire vs. one world. |

Question: During SSX, Disc 2, Track 7 when Ginga and Cinque visited Jail, did they do so in person or was it some sort of video phone conversation?
Also, if someone could clarify that the jailed Numbers and Jail himself stayed in the same prison building (different cells obviously), that would be appreciated.

@Yasanagi: From my understanding they visited the prison personally. Though, whether it was a video link in that building or not I'm unsure of. The quality of the transmission in that case isn't any different from normal speech so I'd deem that improbable.
And they were probably in different cells. I say this due to StrikerS ending and the way the conversation goes in SSX.

New question: Was "Sankt Kaiser" a title Olivia held since the beginning, or did the Belkan Church added the Saint part after her sacrifice? PS: What does Kaiser actually translates to, Emperor or King?

There is circumstancial evidence that the rulers of Belka were known as Saint Kings since at least the beginning of the Saint King Unification War, since that is when the Saint's Cradle became important as de facto mobile capital of Belkan State, several hundred years ago, according to the SSX booklet. Thus, long before Olivie's time. The same booklet, however, also refers to the Kaisers simply as "Ou" (王, "King") in the time of 1000 years BP, though that could refer to all rulers of the era, rather than just Belkan ones.

Maybe it was given by the Church to honor their deeds? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that how the Catholic Church made someone a Saint?
...perhaps further speculation should be brought to the proper thread... Question: Exactly how did Alicia died?
