*[[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] has attended a public ceremony following her year-long abduction by the [[Lords of Restoration]]. Her proclamation from Trasken Square, standing before millions of Capitol's citizens and flanked by legions of [[Imperial Guard]], was broadcast across all channels: "To those who protected the [[Empire]] during my enforced absence, I offer my deepest gratitude. My trusted [[Anders Blaine|chancellor]], [[senator]]s and security agencies are to be commended. To those who dared to attack Imperial citizens, who dared to impersonate me and mislead my people…who took the lives of my family. Know this: there will be no place to hide from my wrath. And to all citizens who may fear these uncertain times, I vow that your Emperor will lead you into the glorious future that is ours by right." Subsequent messages from the [[Imperial Palace]] praised [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] and its supporters for their work in freeing Arissa and destroying the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]. Princess [[Aisling Duval]] was also thanked for her dedication to finding out the truth, although some [[newsfeed]]s have noted that Aisling would hold a strong claim on a vacated throne.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/620cf0800244583b4b417c49 GalNet: Arissa Retakes the Imperial Throne]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>[[Pilots Federation]] ALERT: For the attention of all [[Commander]]s*<br/>Rare commodities required by the Empire in the Baal system.<br/>The state funeral of Prince [[Harold Duval]] has begun on [[Capitol]]. An official week of mourning has been declared throughout the [[Empire]]. [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] opened the ceremony, delivering a eulogy for her half-brother. Princess [[Aisling Duval]], Harold's daughter, was also in attendance but was too emotional to address the huge crowds. Messages of condolence from across the galaxy were on holographic display, including from [[Alliance Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] and [[President of the Federation|Federal President]] [[Zachary Hudson]]. Even [[Hadrian Augustus Duval|Hadrian Duval]], the exiled leader of [[Nova Imperium]], paid respects to his late uncle. The body of the Prince, contained within a jewelled transparent casket, was paraded through the city by a company of [[Imperial Guard]]. It will remain in state for two weeks prior to internment in the Hall of Martyrs. The [[Imperial Palace]] will host a memorial ceremony to honour Harold Duval, for which rare commodities have been requested before Thursday 1st October. [[Ngadandari Fire Opals]], [[Esuseku Caviar]], [[Lavian Brandy]] and [[Kamitra Cigars]] should be delivered to Oterma Station in the Baal system, where the White Templars will transport them to [[Capitol]] after security vetting. Commanders of the Pilots Federation will be assigned an [[Achenar]] system permit alongside financial rewards. To further encourage participation, [[Gutamaya|Gutamaya Corporation]] will apply a [[Discounts|discount]] of up to 25% for all ship purchases according to the amount of rare items provided.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f6ca70fc683b052cb2fa0c2 GalNet: State Funeral Held for Prince Harold Duval]</ref>

*[[Imperial Navy|Imperial Naval infantry]] have once again intervened as protesters – who have taken issue with [[Senator]] [[Denton Patreus]]'s connection to [[Brendan Paul Darius]], the [[Hengist Duval|Emperor's]] murderer – attempted to prevent access to some of Senator Patreus's allies late last night. This time the agitators resisted the soldiers' efforts to maintain peace. After several attempts to peacefully resolve the situation, a riot squad was deployed to restore order. The action was efficiently completed, but smaller disturbances and protests flared up throughout the night. All were pacified by the troops but many mourners were forced to flee. Calm was eventually restored and an [[Imperial Guard]] company has now been stationed to secure the entrance to the [[Imperial Palace|Hall of Martyrs]]. A full regiment of Naval infantry has also been moved into the city.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55d19e029657ba8b2074dad9 GalNet: Further Disturbances in Mourners' Line]</ref>

*Millions of [[senator]]s, [[patron]]s, [[client]]s, [[Imperial Citzen|citizens]] and [[Imperial Slaves|slaves]] from across the [[Empire]] are making the journey to the Hall of Martyrs on [[Capitol]] in the [[Achenar]] system to pay their respects to the late [[Hengist Duval|Emperor]]. The queue to view the Emperor's body already stretches several miles from the [[Imperial Palace]], with the waiting time now measured in days. Naturally, senators, patrons and clients each have their own entrances. Palace officials have announced that the viewings will continue, at all hours, until the final funeral preparations begin on the eve of the funeral. Volunteers from the palace staff will aid the mourners and keep the line moving. The [[Imperial Navy|Imperial Naval Infantry]] will also be stationed along the ever-lengthening line – not because of security concerns, but to ensure the welfare of the waiting people. The population of the city swelled beyond normal capacity during the wedding celebrations, and the influx of mourners has pushed the city to bursting point. Along with the military deployment, local residents are providing those in the queue with food and drink. Those unable to make the journey to Capitol have created memorials in their own cities, [[starport]]s and colonies, and are assembling to give their respects.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55c472ab9657bac35e0d6310 GalNet: Millions Pay Respects]</ref>

*It is with a heavy heart that we report that [[Emperor]] [[Hengist Duval]] died en route to the Imperial Navy Medical Facility near the [[Imperial Palace]]. Confirmation of the news came from [[Chancellor]] [[Anders Blaine]], who appeared visibly upset. He confirmed that the Emperor died after being stabbed by a member of the congregation. Chancellor Blaine refused to provide any details of the attacker, but stated that a full investigation was underway. A source from the [[Imperial Intelligence Service]] told us that the attacker was [[Brendan Paul Darius|a member]] of [[Senator]] [[Denton Patreus's]] party attending the wedding. The Senator was unavailable for comment. In the streets, the [[Imperial Navy|Imperial Naval Infantry]] has started ushering people home as the official period of mourning begins.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55c1d0809657bafa440d630e GalNet: Emperor Hengist Duval Dead]</ref>

*The city is in a state of shock following news that the [[Hengist Duval|Emperor]] was attacked by a high-ranking official during the wedding ceremony. Details of the attack are scant at the moment as a total comms blackout was imposed throughout the immediate area following the incident. One of our sources has indicated that the assailant was killed, but that he managed to injure the Emperor before he died. We do not know how serious the Emperor's injuries are, but our hope is that he makes a swift recovery. Along the route of the procession, millions of citizens and slaves who had been celebrating the grand occasion wait in stunned silence for news of their beloved Emperor. We wait with them.<ref name="Attacked Wedding" />
