'''Jean-Christophe Lyon''' is a minister of the [[Marlinist Colonies]] and the leader of the Marlinism Reformation Party based in the Hyades Sector RO-P b6-2 system. In late 3306, he was [[Marlinist refugee crisis|forced to flee]] his original home in the [[Empire]] with millions of other [[Marlin Duval|Marlinists]] to escape political persecution. Following the civil war between the Marlinism Reformation Party and the Exiled Marlinist Assembly of Baltah'Sine in August 3307, Lyon was elected the new, moderate leader of the Marlinism Reformation Party, replacing the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]]-affiliated [[Aaron Whyte]]. He cooperated fully with the [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit]], allowing it to identify and arrest thousands of NMLA members and sympathisers hiding in the Marlinist Colonies.

17 NOV 3307
*A former Neo-Marlinist [[megaship]] has been overrun by [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] terrorists in the Hyades Sector RO-P b6-2 system. The [[Steel Majesty]] was originally owned by the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid, one of the NMLA's key allies. After their defeat, it ferried many of them to the [[Marlinist Colonies]] where they were granted asylum by Minister [[Aaron Whyte]]. His faction then made use of the megaship during the civil war in August. Minister Jean-Christophe Lyon, the current leader of the Marlinism Reformation Party, gave a statement: "Despite our efforts to arrest any remaining extremists within our faction, a surviving group has gained access to the megaship. Security feeds show they were joined by several teams of well-armed NMLA fighters. The [[Marlinist Constabulary]] evacuated around half of the Steel Majesty's crew before the NMLA took operational control. Sadly, there is no way to free those still trapped onboard." The situation was addressed by [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT's]] co-leader Captain [[Milo Castile]]: "According to our intel, a majority of the NMLA's surviving cells have gathered together for this operation. We believe they were assisted by not only Aaron Whyte's loyalists, but also members of the megaship's original crew from the Mudhrid system. It is possible that this Neo-Marlinist coalition was formed as a result of us closing in on [[Theta Seven]]. We have requested additional support from all security services."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6194fc2f32822d31e93e634a GalNet: NMLA Retakes the Steel Majesty]</ref>

*The [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit]] has reported progress in its efforts to eliminate the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]]. Captain [[Milo Castile]], one of ACT's joint leaders, told a press briefing: "The recent civil war in the [[Marlinist Colonies]] was a tragedy, of course. But many pro-NMLA individuals were exposed during the conflict. Minister Jean-Christophe Lyon, the newly elected leader of the Marlinism Reformation Party, has cooperated fully in rooting out extremists from his faction. As a result, our agents have successfully raided dozens of NMLA cells and arrested several thousand paramilitary activists. We also acquired intelligence leading to hidden assets in multiple systems. I can confirm that [[Theta Seven]] – as the NMLA's de facto leader calls himself – personally directed the Marlinist starport attacks. Unfortunately, we have yet to confirm Theta Group's current whereabouts. The threat of further bombings cannot be ruled out. The NMLA has also been seriously impacted by the death of [[Aaron Whyte]] and the failure to elect a Neo-Marlinist [[Marlinist Consulate|prime consul]]. Without the legitimacy of a political wing, I believe the terrorists will find it much harder to recruit new allies."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6136019ba158b3309b2221c2 GalNet: ACT Scores Victories Against the NMLA]</ref>
