'''Verity Dexter''' is a member of the Marlinism Reformation Party, a faction within the [[Marlinist Colonies]] that desires to provide political representation for Neo-Marlinists and the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]] terror group. In July 3307, Dexter ran as the Marlinism Reformation Party's candidate in the election for prime consul of the [[Marlinist Consulate]]. She was endorsed by [[Empire|Imperial]] [[Senator]] [[Lorcan Scordato]], who pledged to give her the rank of [[patron]] if she won. However, she ultimately lost to her opponent, [[Kayode Tau]] of the Free Marlinist Movement.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] has bombed two [[starport]]s in the [[HIP 22550]] and Hyades Sector RO-P b6-6 systems in the [[Marlinist Colonies]]. Explosive devices were detonated at both Stillman Hub and Tilman Point stations. As is characteristic of weapons used by the NMLA, caustic enzyme payloads caused widespread corrosive damage. The combined death toll is in the tens of thousands, with many more injured. There are unconfirmed reports that First Minister [[Jenna Fairfax]] is among the fatalities. The following message was broadcast via NMLA propaganda channels: "Why are they bombing their own homes? Why would [[Theta Seven]] kill his own people? Because they are not our homes! Not my people! They are prisons, not colonies, where traitors to the cause beg for scraps from those who exiled them. True Marlinists will never stop fighting until the [[Republic of Achenar]] is restored." The attacks are believed to be in response to Verity Dexter failing to win a public vote to lead the [[Marlinist Consulate]], where she would have represented the NMLA political wing. Prime Consul [[Kayode Tau]], the elected candidate, announced: "I call upon the galactic community to provide humanitarian aid to Stillman Hub in HIP 22550 and Tilman Point in Hyades Sector RO-P b6-6. We urgently require ships to evacuate the people trapped within these starports to safety."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6102cade77cb9444d073d41e GalNet: NMLA Attacks Marlinist Starports]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Kayode Tau]] has been elected as prime consul for the Marlinists, following a successful data delivery initiative. The candidate from the Free Marlinist Movement faction received more public votes than rival nominee Verity Dexter. His campaign was supported by deliveries of [[Anomalous Bulk Scan Data|anomalous bulk scan data]] and [[Unusual Encrypted Files|unusual encrypted files]] in greater quantities. Prime Consul Tau will now serve as the lead ambassador for the [[Marlinist Colonies]] in all dealings with the superpowers. He gave this statement to the media: "The [[Marlinist Consulate]] will act to preserve our colonies' independence, and improve diplomatic relations with the rest of the galaxy. Let me be clear – we do not represent the extremist views of Neo-Marlinism. Our consuls will assist all efforts to eliminate the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]." In the Marlinist Parliament, Minister [[Aaron Whyte]] protested that ignoring the Neo-Marlinist fringe was "a provocative act that could inflame further violence". First Minister [[Jenna Fairfax]] called for the result of the democratic vote to be respected. Pilots who supported Kayode Tau can now collect their rewards from Tilman Point in the Hyades Sector RO-P b6-6 system.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60f947d755589512082d57ac GalNet: Free Marlinist Candidate Wins Election]</ref>
