*The [[megaship]] Steel Majesty has travelled from Mudhrid to the [[HIP 22550]] system and been renamed as Fairfax Vision. The [[Wells-class Carrier|Wells-class carrier]] was originally owned by the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid and used as a base for the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA terrorist group]]. After a military defeat, the vessel's crew sought political asylum in the [[Marlinist Colonies]]. The Steel Majesty later became the hub for Minister [[Aaron Whyte]]'s followers during the Marlinist Civil War. More recently, NMLA activists retook the ship and unsuccessfully tried to rescue their leader [[Theta Seven]]. The [[Marlin Standard]] published this statement from First Minister [[Octavia Volkov]]: "I am delighted that the [[Marlinist Consulate]] has negotiated with the Epsilon Fornacis Empire Group to arrange for this megaship to be returned to us. We are renaming it in honour of my predecessor Dr [[Jenna Fairfax]], who led millions to safety after our mass exodus from the [[Empire]]. The Fairfax Vision is now controlled by the Free Marlinists of Carinae faction, but will represent the colonies' parliamentary and diplomatic interests abroad. I hope that true Marlinism, and our progressive republican society, can now flourish peacefully."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61bb36877d40e15b107ccda2 GalNet: NMLA Megaship Becomes Marlinist Flagship]</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> | *Terrorist ringleader [[Theta Seven]] is defying capture by holding thousands of [[Far God cult|Far God cultists]] hostage in the Mudhrid system.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Conflict has erupted between the Epsilon Fornacis Empire Group and the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid. An investigation by [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] in the Mudhrid system confirmed that the Order of Mudhrid provided logistical support for the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] starport attacks. Their agents infiltrated other local factions to transport enzyme bombs to their targets. The faction has now renamed itself the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid. Landgrave [[Arastin Delacroix]], its leader, has declared a revolution against the [[Imperial Family]]. From his flagship, the Steel Majesty, he announced: "The corrupt Duvals will never give up their power, so we must take it from them. All those who seek to change the established order – join us!" The Epsilon Fornacis Empire Group responded by engaging their forces in battle. Senator [[Denton Patreus]] has ordered them to "take revenge for the '[[Nine Martyrs]]' atrocities." This is the first instance of a faction openly adopting Neo-Marlinism, although it has not been officially recognised by the [[Marlinist Colonies]]. Minister [[Aaron Whyte]] commented: "It's a lost opportunity that Landgrave Delacroix chose to aid extremists, rather than provide a political platform to the Neo-Marlinist community. I hope we can soon replace the cycle of violence with meaningful communication."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6065c5042b53674bdb23a076 GalNet: Empire Attacks Neo-Marlinist Faction]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Conflict has erupted between the Epsilon Fornacis Empire Group and the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid.
