'''Jupiter's Wrath''' was a corporatist | '''Jupiter's Wrath''' was a corporatist extremist group that emerged in the [[Federation]] following the dissolution of the short-lived corporate republic [[Jupiter Division]] in June 3307. Its members believed in [[Jupiter Rochester]]'s ideology of corporate supremacy over the Federation, and planned to assassinate [[Congressman|Congressmen]] and other leading political figures whom they considered to be "enemies of Jupiter Division". The movement was identified by the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]], leading to the arrest of over a thousand of its members and organisers in October 3307 by the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]]. Jupiter's Wrath was effectively dismantled before it could carry out any attacks. | ||

*[[Federal Rebellion of 3307|Many factions have seceded]] from the [[Federation]] in recent months, but recent polls suggest the likelihood of further withdrawals is waning. The [[Federal Times]] published an update on the situation by political correspondent [[Sofia Trevino]]: "Some negative reaction to the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]] was anticipated. But it's unlikely that [[Federal Congress|Congress]] foresaw nearly forty systems abandoning the [[Federal Accord]], as their governing factions declared [[Independent|independence]]. Fears that this would spiral into mass rebellion now seem misplaced, however. This is partly thanks to the PDB's recent role in preventing Jupiter's Wrath from committing terrorist acts. Although that group is hardly in the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] league, evidence that communications surveillance can save lives seems to have convinced some Federal citizens to reconsider their opposition. [[Zachary Hudson|President Hudson's]] efforts against the breakaway factions were hailed by his supporters and decried by his opponents. But the [[Federal Diplomatic Corps]] remain displeased that Hudson suffered no repercussions for violating diplomatic immunity when attempting to capture [[Yuri Grom]]. [[Felicia Winters|Shadow President Winters]] continues to call for the PDB to be shut down to prevent the Federation from becoming an authoritarian police state. But many accuse her rhetoric on civil liberties to have triggered the secessions in the first place. Meanwhile, many Federal factions are carefully observing those who did become independent. Their future success or failure may well determine whether or not this rebellion continues."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61828975d49fa06f4261a0d7 GalNet: Demands for Federal Rebellion Decline]</ref> | |||

*A pro-corporatist group planning a series of terror attacks has been shut down by the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]]. An update on the operation was delivered by Deputy Director [[Bethany Blake]], who runs the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]]: "Special forces have now arrested the organisers of the underground organisation called Jupiter's Wrath. This was a collection of citizens radicalised by [[Jupiter Rochester]] into believing that they could replace democratically elected leaders with corporate overlords. This successful operation was only possible thanks to information provided by the PDB. Without this surveillance network, we would be entirely unaware of Jupiter's Wrath and many leading politicians may have lost their lives. Our analysts are now updating the PDB's algorithms to highlight citizens who are at risk of radicalisation. We will prevent domestic terrorism by identifying those being corrupted by hostile ideologies." In response, [[Congressman]] [[Bai Zheng]] was quoted in The [[Federal Times]]: "This is an unnerving development in the PDB's evolution. It's also what many of us in [[Federal Congress|Congress]] feared. We are not targeting people who have committed a crime, but people whose personal opinions are unpalatable to the government."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61700434c660b16abb156753 GalNet: Federal Agents Crush Jupiter Division Extremists]</ref> | *A pro-corporatist group planning a series of terror attacks has been shut down by the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]].
