In 3304, sometime after he had retired from the Imperial Navy, Mordanticus assumed the guise of "the Imperator" and established Nova Imperium in an effort to restore traditional Imperial values, defend the Empire against the [[Thargoid]]s, and end cooperation with the [[Federation]] and [[Alliance]]. Mordanticus also mooted replacing [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] with [[Hadrian Augustus Duval]], a proposal which had gained support in some Imperial circles.

Following the Empire's victory over Nova Imperium's fleet in the Battle of [[Paresa]] in January 3305, it was announced that Mordanticus had been captured during the fighting. He was subsequently brought before the [[Imperial Senate]] and the Emperor, where he was promptly executed by [[Senator]] [[Denton Patreus]] for treason. The Imperator's unceremonious demise marked the start of an Empire-wide purge of Nova Imperium and its sympathizers.

*The [[Empire]] has officially proclaimed [[Hadrian Augustus Duval]] and his wife Lady [[Astrid Minerva-Duval]] to be wards of the [[Imperial Senate|Senate]]. The offer of senatorial protection was made following an [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] attempt to assassinate them and their unborn child by bombing Dyson City [[starport]]. Prior to being transported from the [[Paresa]] system to a secure location, Hadrian Duval sent this message: "Lady Astrid and I accepted this offer with enormous reluctance. Neither of us wish to abandon our home or loyal followers. Yet we feel it is a matter of duty to protect our family and ensure future generations of the [[Imperial Family|Duval bloodline]]. Nova Imperium will henceforth be known as [[Nova Paresa]]. It will continue to serve as a staunch ally of the Empire, as per the [[Treaty of Paresa]]. To all those who fought for our cause over the years, I assure you that history will never forget us. Memento Mordanticus!" There has been public support for Praetor [[Leo Magnus]] to assume leadership of Nova Paresa. Hadrian Duval has endorsed his former head of security taking his place, but confirmed that the title of Imperator is now defunct. In related news, [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] stated that its investigation into the Dyson City attack has yielded results. Although details remain embargoed for security reasons, a significant breakthrough is expected to be announced soon.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/618134e7c39dca54f93f07b4 GalNet: Hadrian Duval Accepts Senate Protection]</ref>
