*The [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]], have agreed to close down the [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit]]. A joint statement from all three superpowers stated: "ACT's primary mission to locate and destroy the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]] has been successfully accomplished." ACT was formed in March 3307 following the [[Nine Martyrs]] attacks, when the NMLA simultaneously bombed multiple starports. The independent taskforce rapidly took the lead in investigating the terrorists, calling upon the resources of many agencies, specialists and freelance pilots. The co-leaders of ACT have now returned to their respective security services. Captain [[Saskia Landau]] was personally awarded the Achenar Service Cross by [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]], in recognition of her key role in identifying the [[Lords of Restoration]]. Landau has now accepted overall command of [[Imperial Intelligence]], reporting directly to the Emperor. Captain [[Milo Castile]], Inspector [[Mara Klatt]], Praetor [[Leo Magnus]] and Senior Agent [[Tanya Ramirez]] have all been similarly commended for their successes. The joint statement also paid tribute to those members who lost their lives in the fight against terrorism. ACT was formed under the [[Cornelius-Lasky Convention]], which was ratified at the [[Galactic Summit]]. The treaty requires governments to cooperate against large-scale threats to civilian populations, and is now commonly viewed as a historic achievement. Since it remains in force, ACT could be reformed in future if a similar threat to the NMLA arises.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6220d410b5b0806870678fa8 GalNet: ACT Disbanded Following Defeat of NMLA]</ref>

*The [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] de facto leader and his closest followers have sacrificed themselves by destroying the [[Far God cult]]'s [[megaship]] [[Sacrosanct]]. The hijacked vessel had been taken to the Mudhrid system by the remaining members of Theta Group, aiming to reunite with the NMLA. After this failed, [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] forces surrounded the Sacrosanct in the hope of rescuing the several thousand cultists being kept as hostages. [[Theta Seven]] broadcast a short video message, where he uttered a single phrase: "The future will remember us." He was then seen to manually detonate a series of bombs, which ruptured the Sacrosanct's hull and split the vessel in two. It is believed that the weapons also distributed [[Thargoid]] caustic enzymes throughout the megaship, thereby killing its entire population. ACT has released a statement from co-leader Captain [[Saskia Landau]]: "Tragically we were unable to save the lives of the Far God worshippers, despite several attempts to negotiate their safe conduct off the ship. [[Milo Castile|Captain Castile's]] commando unit could not gain entry to the Sacrosanct in time, and we had no success trying to hack into its onboard computers. We can confirm that the most wanted terrorist in the galaxy is dead. But ACT's task is not yet complete, since there is much we still don't know about the NMLA. Our investigation will focus on learning more about their background, as well as targeting any surviving cells of activists."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61b22be2043a8c1f9e7ae20c GalNet: The Death of Theta Seven]</ref>

*Terrorist ringleader [[Theta Seven]] is defying capture by holding thousands of [[Far God cult|Far God cultists]] hostage in the Mudhrid system. [[Vox Galactica]] published an on-the-scene report from freelance journalist [[Redmond O'Hara]]: "Although the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] has been defeated in Mudhrid, the Theta Group bomb-makers remain in control of the [[Sacrosanct]] [[megaship]]. With so many lives at stake, [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] has focused all its efforts to resolve this tense situation. We've heard that [[Tanya Ramirez|Senior Agent Ramirez]] and [[Mara Klatt|Inspector Klatt]] have both tried to open negotiations directly with Theta Seven. It is hard to imagine what they might offer him in terms of clemency, but they're obviously determined to prevent further deaths at the NMLA's hands. After speaking to one of ACT's tactical advisors, I can reveal that [[Milo Castile|Captain Castile's]] commando unit tried and failed to board the Sacrosanct as it did the [[Steel Majesty]]. This is apparently because the vessel is specially modified to prevent external access, in order to provide the Far God cultists with a sanctified environment during their pilgrimage. Speaking of the cultists, they may not have accepted their predicament quite as passively as expected. Internal power failures detected within the Sacrosanct's [[hyperdrive]] systems may well be a result of sabotage, and would explain why it hasn't left the Mudhrid system. Perhaps in their own way, the [[Thargoid]]-worshippers are seeking justice for those murdered by Theta Seven's appropriation of their deity's 'holy' caustic enzymes."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61af800ed4083d23054b0374 GalNet: Standoff for ACT and Theta Seven]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>The Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid has been defeated by the Epsilon Fornacis Empire Group in the Mudhrid system. With the aid of many independent pilots, the [[Empire|Imperial]] faction outmatched the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]-supporting forces who were attempting to rescue their leader [[Theta Seven]]. Captain [[Saskia Landau]] provided an update from [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]]: "Using the fierce fighting as cover, Captain [[Milo Castile]] led a commando unit made up of specialists from [[Alliance]], [[Federation|Federal]] and Imperial security forces to gain access to the [[Steel Majesty]]. After freeing and arming the crewmembers that were being held hostage, they overpowered the NMLA troops and retook the [[megaship]]. We have successfully prevented Theta Seven and his followers from rejoining their fellow terrorists. But the [[Far God cult]]'s vessel, the [[Sacrosanct]], is still in the system under his control. Until the man responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths has been captured, our victory over the NMLA remains incomplete." The Epsilon Fornacis Empire Group stated that those who supported its campaign can now receive their rewards from Payne-Scott City starport. The Imperial faction also agreed that independent pilots who fought for the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid will be permitted to collect payment from the Steel Majesty, which has been transferred to their ownership.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61a8b6928debb451f45185cf GalNet: Battle of Mudhrid Ends in NMLA Defeat]</ref>

*The [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] attacks against the [[Marlinist Colonies]] have caused mass casualties, disruption and political chaos. More than 35,000 civilians were killed in the attacks, with twice as many suffering injuries and caustic burns. [[Safeguard Interstellar]] is providing vital supplies to survivors, and evacuations of Stillman Hub and Tilman Point stations are ongoing. First Minister [[Jenna Fairfax]] has been confirmed dead. Minister [[Amrita Ross]] has temporarily assumed leadership, but the Marlinist Parliament has been destabilised by heated accusations between its members. The Marlinist Constabulary has tightened security, and [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] is running urgent investigations. Captain [[Milo Castile]] told the media: "This was undoubtedly the work of Theta Group, the NMLA's weapons specialists. We have found evidence that local Neo-Marlinist supporters provided logistical support, and arrests are forthcoming. However, as always the terrorists covered their tracks remarkably well." [[Alliance]] and [[Federation]] leaders have sent messages of condolence and offers of medical aid. Prime Consul [[Kayode Tau]] is liaising with both superpowers to coordinate relief efforts. In the [[Empire]], from which the Marlinists fled as [[Marlinist refugee crisis|refugees]] in 3306, there are mixed reactions. Some wish to extend protection to former Imperial citizens, while others see it as poetic justice for their republican beliefs 'creating' the NMLA.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6107d0fc8139c43f2d790b0b GalNet: Marlinists in Crisis After Starport Bombings]</ref>

*The [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit]] has published an update on its investigation into the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]]. Senior Agent [[Tanya Ramirez]], one of ACT's joint leaders, gave a statement to the media: "ACT is currently pursuing multiple lines of enquiry, which must remain classified for reasons of security. Our agents are gathering evidence from sites across the [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]]. As yet we cannot report any significant breakthroughs. NMLA activists appear to use a dark-comms network that defies detection. They also compartmentalise their operations, so individual cells have little knowledge of each other. In recent months, NMLA incidents have been restricted to minor strikes against Imperial authorities, which were dealt with by local police forces. There has been no activity by Theta Group, the hardcore extremists responsible for the '[[Nine Martyrs]]' starport bombings. The collapse of the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid may have deprived the NMLA of their logistical capability to deliver large-scale attacks. But it remains possible that a new wave of terrorist atrocities is being planned." ACT later confirmed that it has recruited additional personnel from [[Alliance Interpol]], the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]], the [[Imperial Internal Security Service]], the Marlinist Constabulary, [[Nova Paresa|Nova Imperium's]] Praetorian Guard and the [[Wallglass Investigations Agency]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60c743ff19871404ab6986a6 GalNet: ACT Continues to Hunt NMLA Terrorists]</ref>

*The Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid has been granted sanctuary in the [[Marlinist Colonies]] in return for revealing the identities of the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] leaders. The faction's survivors arrived in the Hyades Sector RO-P b6-2 system after being defeated by [[Empire|Imperial]] forces. The Marlinism Reformation Party agreed to offer political asylum, despite all three superpowers demanding the refugees' arrest. Imperial [[Senator]] [[Lorcan Scordato]], who was visiting the Colonies on a fact-finding mission, announced: "After meeting the Neo-Marlinists and the Marlinist Parliament, I have secured an agreement. The [[Arastin Delacroix|Landgrave of Mudhrid]] and his inner circle will cooperate fully with [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] to provide details on the senior leadership of the NMLA. In return, they will receive life imprisonment at a local detention facility. The [[Steel Majesty]]'s population will undergo security vetting by the [[Marlinist Constabulary]] to identify extremists. The remainder will be permitted to remain in the system and apply for citizenship." [[Anders Blaine|Chancellor Blaine]] has approved the proposal, commenting that it was "precisely the sort of creative solution the [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval|Emperor]] requires". Responses from the [[Alliance]] and [[Federation]] were mixed, but there was broad agreement that targeting the NMLA was the priority. Minister [[Aaron Whyte]], elected leader of the Marlinism Reformation Party, publicly thanked Senator Scordato for negotiating a peaceful resolution.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/607ec1d8af3850356305da12 GalNet: Conditional Amnesty Agreed for Neo-Marlinists]</ref>
