*[[Sima Kalhana]] reviews the most newsworthy events of the past year in this series of articles.<br/>"July began badly for the [[Federation]], with more factions seceding in response to the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]]'s establishment. The newly independent nations severed all links with these new surveillance efforts, inspiring many other systems to do likewise. This [[Federal Rebellion of 3307|secession crisis]] would rumble on for the rest of the year. The [[Blue Viper Club Clan Dredger|Blue Viper Club]], one of the rarely seen [[Dredger Clans|dredger clans]], joined forces with the [[Kumo Crew]] to manufacture a medicinal [[drug]] that turned out to be a [[Onionhead Gamma Strain|new strain]] of [[onionhead]]. The drug would ultimately end up being legally distributed by [[Neomedical Industries]], causing [[Archon Delaine]] to seek revenge against the corporation. Tensions soared in the [[Marlinist Colonies]] during an election for the head of their diplomatic consulate. [[Aaron Whyte]]'s [[Verity Dexter|candidate]] had the support of an [[Lorcan Scordato|Imperial senator]], which would have given the Neo-Marlinists a powerful voice within the [[Empire]]. When a more [[Kayode Tau|moderate candidate]] was elected, the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] reacted by bombing both Marlinist starports, murdering tens of thousands including First Minister [[Jenna Fairfax]]. It seemed [[John Tyburn|Theta Seven's]] extremist views allowed anyone to be targeted as an enemy, even his fellow Marlinists. The civil war concluded in August, with Whyte killed in battle as his supporters were overcome in direct combat. Following accusations of incompetence regarding the vanished [[Alexandria]] megaship, [[Aegis]] was officially suspended and subjected to a [[Paul Baumann|board of inquiry]]. This would have ramifications for the [[Second Thargoid War|ongoing conflict]] with the [[Thargoid]]s, and encourage [[Salvation]] to position himself as an alternative. In the corporate sphere, [[Zemina Torval]] created a [[Torval Mining Ltd|new subsidiary]] of [[Mastopolos Mining]] that would eventually become an autonomous company. There were rumours that the [[Torval family|Torval]] and [[Mastopolos family|Mastopolos]] families were now at loggerheads after decades of working in unison. In September, the mystery of [[Hyford's Cache]] was finally unlocked. The trail led to revelations of [[Project Seraph|dark experiments]] which are believed to have involved human test subjects and Thargoid technology. When the Thargoids themselves appeared en masse in the Cornsar system, Salvation was ready for them. An [[anti-xeno superweapon]] of undisclosed nature was deployed, wiping out some of the aliens and driving away the rest. It seemed that the self-titled 'man of science' had developed something revolutionary, inspiring many to place their faith in him to end the Thargoid menace once and for all."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61bc624fc9a41028410f101a GalNet: A Retrospective of 3307 (Part Three)]</ref>

*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>
