'''Paresa''' is an [[Empire|Imperial]] system in the [[Core Systems]] within the [[Inner Orion Spur]]. | '''Paresa''' is an [[Empire|Imperial]] system in the [[Core Systems]] within the [[Inner Orion Spur]]. It is the headquarters of [[Nova Paresa]], a radical Imperial faction that advocates traditionalism and isolationism. Between January 3305 and November 3306, Nova Paresa, then known as Nova Imperium, had been outlawed by the Empire for sedition, but the [[Treaty of Paresa]] decriminalized the group, and it became a staunch ally in subsequent efforts to stamp out the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]] terrorist group. | ||

=== Battle of Paresa === | |||
Sometime in 3304, Paresa became the headquarters of [[Nova Imperium]], an extremist faction of Imperial soldiers, traditionalists, and sympathizers who sought to depose [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] and replace her with her nephew [[Hadrian Augustus Duval]], as well as withdraw the Empire from cooperation with the rest of human civilisation in order to focus on defending the Imperial people from the [[Thargoid]]s.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5bd9d59f31f88f479c65865c GalNet: The Rise of Nova Imperium]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5be46794623186452c619202 GalNet: A Warning from the Imperator]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c05411e35b45a4988461f85 GalNet: Nova Imperium Unveils Figurehead]</ref> After weeks of rising tensions in late 3304 in which Nova Imperium appeared to be gaining political momentum, Imperial loyalists finally confronted Nova Imperium in the Battle of Paresa after the group began illgally assembling an armada in January 3305.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c2f2a60acf2351d8c7cde76 GalNet: Nova Imperium Musters Military Forces]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c376f81e91376757327a4da GalNet: Empire Engages Nova Imperium]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c40a6663e835d67c932d264 GalNet: Nova Imperium Defeated in Paresa System]</ref> The battle ended with the capture of Imperator [[Kaeso Mordanticus]],<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c41c250e04b920885660537 GalNet: Imperator Mordanticus Captured]</ref> and was followed by his public execution and an Empire-wide purge of Nova Imperium cells and supporters.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c485c99128401188a499c82 GalNet: Blood on the Senate Floor]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c485cf6d5465145571d1c84 GalNet: The Fall of Nova Imperium]</ref> The broken remnants of Nova Imperium reorganised in Paresa under the Imperator's successor, Hadrian Augustus Duval,<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c52c4a1231ede6f495e2c75 GalNet: The New Imperator]</ref> but still faced opposition from independent pilots who supported the Imperial establishment. | |||
=== NMLA terror === | |||
In October 3306, Imperator Hadrian was critically wounded by a [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]] hit squad that breached the command deck of Dyson City, Nova Imperium's headquarters. The NMLA had recently assassinated Prince [[Harold Duval]], and sought to eliminate all members of the [[Imperial Family]] to bring about a democratic revolution within the Empire.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f97f9849a83e84ad16bff6d GalNet: Terrorist Hit Squad Targets Hadrian Duval]</ref> On October 28, 3306, Princess [[Aisling Duval]] arrived in Paresa aboard the [[Majestic-Class Interdictor]] INV Achenar's Courage to offer the Imperator protection and medical assistance.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f9ffa0e7aa5715eb17897a4 GalNet: Hadrian Duval Saved by Aisling Duval's Intervention]</ref> | |||
After Hadrian recovered, he announced on November 10, 3306 that he would seek reintegration into the Imperial Family, signalling a new direction for Nova Imperium.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5faa88843c68c311823f0d4a GalNet: Hadrian Duval Seeks Reintegration with the Empire]</ref> While Emperor Arissa denied Hadrian the royal title of prince and any formal position within the Imperial Family in a decree on November 16, he was recognized as a Duval by blood and he and his followers were granted royal pardons. In addition, the [[Imperial Senate]] ratified the [[Treaty of Paresa]], which decriminalized Nova Imperium in exchange for acknowledgement of Arissa Lavigny-Duval as the Empire's rightful ruler and contributions in future operations against the NMLA.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fb276ef5e72e1297815e02b GalNet: Emperor Decides Hadrian Duval's Status]</ref> | |||
=== Federal incursion === | |||
The [[megaship]] Harmony's Shield, commanded by the [[Federation]]-aligned minor faction League of Mandu, arrived in Paresa on April 29, 3307. The development occurred amid allegations that Imperator Hadrian and his wife, Lady [[Astrid Minerva-Duval]], were leading members of the NMLA and had masterminded the terrorist group's campaign of bombings and assassinations that had started in September 3306. Although the [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit]] cautioned that the allegations had not yet been investigated, the Federation, Empire, and [[Alliance]] demanded action.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6086a9eadf81213e58131544 GalNet: Neo-Marlinists Expose Hadrian Duval as NMLA Leader]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60894dbc996a513c643a93b5 GalNet: Hadrian Duval Refutes NMLA Allegations]</ref> The League of Mandu believed the allegations and sought to eradicate Nova Imperium in revenge for [[Nine Martyrs]]. The Empire-aligned Peraesii Empire Consulate demanded the League's withdrawal, but also pledged to purge the NMLA from Paresa. Imperator Hadrian protested his innocence, but declared that Nova Imperium would defend itself if necessary.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/608bf28ac9e22d02fc09c53d GalNet: Nova Imperium Targeted by Superpowers]</ref> | |||
The League of Mandu launched military operations on May 6, and Nova Imperium called on the Empire to honour the Treaty of Paresa and come to its defence.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6093ea1db89a2676e6791a4b GalNet: Federation Attacks Nova Imperium]</ref> Media outlets across the Core Systems warned on May 11 that the conflict in Paresa could pull the Federation and Empire into a full-scale war, as the potential death of Hadrian Duval at the hands of Federal forces would demand retribution from the Emperor even if Hadrian is proven to be a terrorist.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/609a70c3766c3661556cd6c8 GalNet: Paresa Conflict Risks War Between Superpowers]</ref> Fortunately, the Paresa conflict ended on May 13 without escalating further. Nova Imperium achieved a decisive victory over the invaders, and Federal Ambassador [[Catherine Carlisle]] informed the public that the League of Mandu had acted rashly and would soon leave Imperial territory.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/609d13e35d0b9e49c17b4408 GalNet: Nova Imperium Triumphs Over Federation]</ref> | |||
Inspector [[Mara Klatt]] of ACT reported on May 21 that the Landgrave's claims that Hadrian Duval was behind the NMLA could not be authenticated, and that it seemed highly plausible that the NMLA had faked Hadrian's identity. A vindicated Imperator thanked his supporters for defending Nova Imperium and Paresa.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60a79fa7cad2fc23ee125dc2 GalNet: Hadrian Duval Allegations Declared 'Inconclusive']</ref> | |||
=== Dyson City bombing === | |||
The NMLA bombed Dyson City on October 14, 3307 in an attempt to assassinate Hadrian and his pregnant wife. ACT intercepted a transmission discussing the planned attack and the [[Praetorian Guard]] managed to evacuate the Imperator's family only minutes before the bombing occurred, but the other residents of the starport were less fortunate. It was estimated that over 15,000 perished in the explosions, and a similar number were injured. Nova Imperium declared a system-wide state of emergency, and the Empire confirmed it would provide assistance in accordance with the Treaty of Paresa.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61681c52c9c5cc09eb144690 GalNet: Terrorist Attack at Hadrian Duval's HQ]</ref> In the bombing's aftermath, Imperator Hadrian decided to accept the Imperial Senate's offer of protection for himself and Lady Astrid for the sake of the Duval bloodline's survival. On November 2, 3307, Hadrian abdicated his position, discontinued the title of Imperator, and renamed Nova Imperium to Nova Paresa. Praetor [[Leo Magnus]], up that point the head of Hadrian's personal Praetorian Guard, was endorsed to become Nova Paresa's new leader.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/618134e7c39dca54f93f07b4 GalNet: Hadrian Duval Accepts Senate Protection]</ref> Magnus assumed the role later that month after resigning from ACT.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61a8c2dbb7edf77b734bd9f2 GalNet: Empire Celebrates Newborn Duval]</ref> | |||
