20 DEC 3307

*[[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] has revealed the background of the man known only as Theta Seven, the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] de facto leader who recently died in the Mudhrid system. Captain [[Saskia Landau]] gave this statement to the media: "A combination of investigative work and interrogating NMLA survivors has allowed us to confirm that Theta Seven's real name was [[John Tyburn]]. He was born and raised in the city of [[Fontaine]] on the planet Baltah'Sine, where he was a munitions technician constructing demolition charges for commercial mining. There is evidence that Tyburn was always a vocal believer in [[Marlin Duval|Marlinism]], and became a pro-democracy campaigner. This eventually caused him to lose his job and serve a prison sentence for sedition. His [[Empire|Imperial]] citizenship was revoked, his marriage annulled and his children taken into state care. Upon release, Tyburn was contacted by the NMLA and radicalised to the Neo-Marlinist cause. He produced portable explosives for terrorist actions, and rose rapidly in their ranks. It was Tyburn's proposal to develop caustic enzyme bombs capable of damaging a starport, but his experimentation on these weapons resulted in injuries and corrosive scarring. They only became a reality following a workable design commissioned from the [[Engineers|engineer]] Liz Ryder without her knowledge of its purpose." First Minister [[Octavia Volkov]] of the [[Marlinist Colonies]] commented: "It's unsettling to learn that this arch-terrorist grew up in the same place as I did and had similar experiences. John Tyburn might easily have been my fellow refugee from the Empire, or perhaps helped us form our republican society. This does not excuse his crimes, but it's all too clear how political persecution can give rise to monsters."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61bc606160626d4641208a2a GalNet: Theta Seven's Identity Discovered]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT* Deliveries of mined materials have allowed the [[Engineers|engineer]] Liz Ryder to make a one-off modified ship module widely available. The module is a fully engineered [[Lightweight Weapon|lightweight]] and [[High Capacity Weapon|high capacity]] Class 2 [[Seeker Missile Rack]] with [[Thermal Cascade|thermal cascade]]. It was only available for a brief period in October 3306, but can now be purchased from any human [[Technology Broker|technology broker]]. Freshly mined [[bromellite]], [[Lithium Hydroxide|lithium hydroxide]], [[osmium]] and [[samarium]] were delivered by a large number of pilots. Due to the volume of shipments received, the initial amount of materials required by customers to purchase the weapon has been temporarily reduced. Liz Ryder made this statement from her Demolition Unlimited workshop: "Thank you to everyone who helped launch – so to speak – this module onto the market. I hope that engineers and tech brokers can continue working together on providing more options to the galactic community." Pilots who delivered commodities for this initiative can now collect their rewards from Awyra Flirble in the [[Eurybia]] system.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/602698ac4b40a01c127973ef GalNet: Enhanced Missile Rack Initiative Concludes]</ref>

04 FEB 3307

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT* The [[Engineers|engineer]] Liz Ryder has requested mined materials to help make a previously unique ship module widely available. The module is a fully engineered [[Lightweight Weapon|lightweight]] and [[High Capacity Weapon|high capacity]] Class 2 [[Seeker Missile Rack]] with [[Thermal Cascade|thermal cascade]]. It was offered in October 3306 to pilots who helped defend the [[Eurybia]] system from [[Empire|Imperial]] forces. At the time, the Empire suspected Liz Ryder of supplying weapons to the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] terrorist group. Ms Ryder has announced that her aim is to make this specially modified weapon available for purchase at all human [[Technology Broker|technology brokers]]. She added: "Pilots can help kick-start this project by providing mined commodities, which will temporarily reduce the amount of materials that customers require to obtain the missile rack. As a bonus, the highest contributors to this initiative will be gifted with the module. I'm pleased to be working with tech brokers to add this to the market. Many engineers think we could do more to serve the galactic community, and this is a step in that direction." Shipments of [[bromellite]], [[Lithium Hydroxide|lithium hydroxide]], [[osmium]] and [[samarium]] can be delivered to Awyra Flirble in the Eurybia system.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/601befd3c65dc75929039e05 GalNet: Engineer's Enhanced Missile Rack Initiative]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT* The effectiveness of [[engineers]]' upgrading for ship modules will be boosted until the 7th of January 3307. During this time, engineered weapons and modules will receive increased augmentation for the same amount of materials. This will apply to every workshop in [[Alliance]], [[Empire|Imperial]], [[Federation|Federal]] and [[independent]] space. [[Lori Jameson]], an engineer based in the [[Shinrarta Dezhra]] system, provided details to [[Vox Galactica]] on how this collaboration came about: "After the [[Eurybia]] incident, some of us contacted Liz Ryder and offered our support. It was horrifying how her expertise had been abused by the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]], leaving her unfairly maligned as a terrorist supporter. There were concerns that her situation might reflect badly on engineers in general. We soon established communication links between every workshop, and agreed to offer a universal boost to upgrades. Hopefully this will remind pilots how much we value their custom, and that we remain a trustworthy resource." [[Mel Brandon]], one of four engineers in the [[Colonia Region]], commented: "It's about time that we all started talking to each other. Our services are valuable to the whole galaxy. We deserve better protection. Maybe we have to start protecting ourselves."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fdb5837257211493d326298 GalNet: Engineers Boost Ship Module Upgrading]</ref>

19 NOV 3306

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT* Multiple explosions have struck Kepler Orbital in the Atropos system, causing huge damage and loss of life. Witnesses have observed signs of corrosion damage to the starport. This is characteristic of an explosive designed by the engineer Liz Ryder that deploys [[Thargoid]] caustic enzymes, and which was used in the bombings of [[Empire|Imperial]] starports in September. The [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] has claimed responsibility for the attack. Its propaganda channels praised "the nine martyrs", a reference to the terrorist suspects recently arrested by the [[Federal Security Service]]. There were also warnings of "further reprisals if the Federation impedes our cause". The FSS has since confirmed that the captive NMLA members were being held in secure facilities at Kepler Orbital, which have been completely destroyed by the blasts. It is assumed that they were specifically targeted to prevent the prisoners revealing information about the paramilitary group under interrogation. Federal authorities are urgently requesting support from the galactic community, to assist with repair efforts and to rescue survivors still trapped at the damaged station.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fb66b8eb296e87ab41dfd6b GalNet: Terrorist Bombing at Federal Starport]</ref>

03 NOV 3306

*The [[Empire]] has revealed new evidence that suggests the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] terrorist group may be receiving help from elements within the Federation. A report from the [[Imperial Internal Security Service]] stated: "With information provided by the engineer Liz Ryder, we located an abandoned workshop where explosives had been constructed using her blueprints. Traces were found of [[Thargoid]] caustic enzymes, matching the payloads delivered during the starport bombings. Micro-signage on cargo containers identified bulk deliveries of equipment from a [[Federation|Federal]] system in neutral space, where we believe the NMLA has a second bomb-making facility. IISS agents are currently investigating to confirm these findings." Federal Ambassador [[Jordan Rochester]] refuted these allegations: "The suggestion that we're responsible for the Empire's home-grown extremists is laughable. As with their persecution of Marlinists, this is another excuse for an inability to solve their own problems." Imperial Ambassador [[Imogen Luciana]] responded: "There have long been rumours that the NMLA has the Federation's support, to destabilise the Empire and promote republican propaganda. If true, there will be severe consequences." In related news, some Federal systems are struggling to cope with an influx of Marlinist refugees. Public disobedience, food shortages and epidemics have been reported in the Thetis, LTT 1935 and HIP 36081 systems, due to a lack of additional resources.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fa150066d8b9d033135fee7 GalNet: Federation Accused of Supporting the NMLA]</ref>

12 OCT 3306

*Liz Ryder, an [[Engineers|engineer]] based in the [[Eurybia]] system, has confirmed that her designs for an explosive match those used by [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] terrorists against [[Empire|Imperial]] starports. Her statement was distributed by [[Vox Galactica]]: "Under a private contract from what appeared to be the Eurybia Blue Mafia, I designed demolition charges capable of delivering a secondary payload. At no point did I know these would be customised to hold [[Thargoid]] caustic enzymes or used in terrorist activities. Until recently, I had no idea that the starport bombings were caused by modified versions of my design. I have since discovered that my contractors used false identification, and now seem to be untraceable. It appears that the NMLA, or people working for them, infiltrated the Eurybia Blue Mafia to access my services. To help clear the Eurybia Blue Mafia, which has supported me for years, I have provided Imperial investigators with all the data I have regarding this contract. I urge the Empire to accept that we were all deceived by the terrorists." The [[Imperial Internal Security Service]] confirmed that the warrant for Liz Ryder's arrest has been rescinded and it is reviewing her information, which may lead to locating the source of the Thargoid enzymes used in the bombs.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f8456b60e06543de959c6be GalNet: Engineer Reveals Link to Terrorist Bombs]</ref>

08 OCT 3306

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT: For the attention of all Commanders* Conflict between Keltim Empire League and Eurybia Blue Mafia in [[Eurybia]] has ended. The Eurybia Blue Mafia has successfully fought off an attempt by the [[Empire]] to take the [[Engineers|Engineer]] Liz Ryder into custody. Spokesperson Ana Westergard made this announcement on behalf of the anarchist faction: "This is a victory against the Empire's arrogance! There was never any evidence that Liz Ryder or our organisation are involved with terrorists, and this invasion was based entirely on supposition. We are extremely grateful to everyone who helped us defend Liz Ryder and maintain our independence. Rewards to all those brave Commanders are available at Awyra Flirble starport, modules will be placed in storage by the 10th of October 3306." Captain Rocco Gandara of the Keltim Empire League announced: "Despite the anarchists having the upper hand on this occasion, I can confirm that we will honour all of our supporting pilots by making rewards available at Prelude to Victory."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f7ee42f719492098733c2c4 GalNet: Eurybia Blue Mafia Resists Imperial Forces]</ref>

01 OCT 3306

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT: For the attention of all Commanders* Conflict between Keltim Empire League and Eurybia Blue Mafia in the [[Eurybia]] system. Explosive devices used in recent terrorist attacks on four [[Empire|Imperial]] [[starport]]s have been linked to Liz Ryder, an [[Engineers|engineer]] based in the Eurybia system. The [[Imperial Internal Security Service]] published this report: "Analysis of station traffic revealed that the explosives were delivered on cargo transports linked to the Eurybia Blue Mafia, a notorious anarchist organisation that we have reason to believe is secretly supplying the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]. The Eurybia Blue Mafia is protecting demolitions expert Liz Ryder, who we strongly suspect designed the specialist weapons used in the starport bombings. As they have refused to cooperate, a state of war has been declared until she is surrendered to our custody. Our affiliate faction, the Keltim Empire League, has requested the support of independent pilots against any resisting anarchist forces." Ana Westergard, a spokesperson for the Eurybia Blue Mafia, broadcast this emergency message: "This is an outrageous invasion by the Empire! We categorically deny any involvement with the NMLA. I urgently call upon our supporters – and anyone who cares about freedom – to help us defend Liz Ryder as well as our independence." Engineering services are still available at the Demolition Unlimited workshop, with Liz Ryder communicating remotely from a place of safety.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f75deec406294773a5bedc8 GalNet: Engineer Linked to Terrorist Weapons]</ref>

22 SEP 3303

*Following news that the [[Thargoid]]s have attacked a [[Federation|Federal]] convoy in the [[Delphi|Pleiades Sector IR-W d1-55]] system, [[Aegis]] has recruited two of the galaxy's foremost independent [[engineers]] to immediately begin developing new defensive and offensive technologies. One of these engineers is Liz Ryder, a specialist in explosive weaponry, who spoke to The [[Federal Times]] about her involvement: "It's not about penetrating the Thargoids' shields – we've been blowing each other up for centuries so we've gotten pretty good at dealing punishment – it's about creating weapons that are specifically calibrated to damage Thargoid hardware." Ryder was asked if she thought it was too late to avert all-out conflict with the Thargoids: "That's a question for the politicians. My job is to design weapons. And if someone – or something – shoots at you, you've got two choices: run away or shoot back. At the moment, the first of those is our only option. It would be nice to have a second." Professor [[Ishmael Palin]], a leading authority on xenobiology, has also been recruited to the programme. He said: "My first task will be developing a scanner that can provide us with meaningful data on the Thargoids' ships. Of course, to properly calibrate these new technologies we will need large quantities of Thargoid material." Aegis has placed an open order for a range of Thargoid materials for use in the programme. Aegis Core has pledged to reward pilots who deliver unknown technology samples, unknown biological matter, ancient relics and explosives to Awyra Flirble in the [[Eurybia]] system for Liz Ryder. Aegis Research has promised to reimburse Commanders who deliver unknown technology samples, unknown resin, computer components and resonating separators to [[Obsidian Orbital]] in the [[Maia]] system for Ishmael Palin. The campaign begins on the 21st of September and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/59c3cb9dffff1a05c9770bdd GalNet: Community Goal: Engineers Appeal for Thargoid Material]</ref>

Rewards to all those brave Commanders are available at Awyra Flirble starport, modules will be placed in storage by the 10th of October 3306." Captain Rocco Gandara of the Keltim Empire League announced: "Despite the anarchists having the upper hand on this occasion, I can confirm that we will honour all of our supporting pilots by making rewards available at Prelude to Victory."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f7ee42f719492098733c2c4 GalNet: Eurybia Blue Mafia Resists Imperial Forces]</ref>

+*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT: For the attention of all Commanders*<br/>Conflict between Keltim Empire League and Eurybia Blue Mafia in the [[Eurybia]] system.<br/>Explosive devices used in recent terrorist attacks on four [[Empire|Imperial]] [[starport]]s have been linked to Liz Ryder, an [[Engineers|engineer]] based in the Eurybia system. The [[Imperial Internal Security Service]] published this report: "Analysis of station traffic revealed that the explosives were delivered on cargo transports linked to the Eurybia Blue Mafia, a notorious anarchist organisation that we have reason to believe is secretly supplying the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]. The Eurybia Blue Mafia is protecting demolitions expert Liz Ryder, who we strongly suspect designed the specialist weapons used in the starport bombings. As they have refused to cooperate, a state of war has been declared until she is surrendered to our custody. Our affiliate faction, the Keltim Empire League, has requested the support of independent pilots against any resisting anarchist forces." Ana Westergard, a spokesperson for the Eurybia Blue Mafia, broadcast this emergency message: "This is an outrageous invasion by the Empire! We categorically deny any involvement with the NMLA. I urgently call upon our supporters – and anyone who cares about freedom – to help us defend Liz Ryder as well as our independence." Engineering services are still available at the Demolition Unlimited workshop, with Liz Ryder communicating remotely from a place of safety.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f75deec406294773a5bedc8 GalNet: Engineer Linked to Terrorist Weapons]</ref>

+*Following news that the [[Thargoid]]s have attacked a [[Federation|Federal]] convoy in the [[Delphi|Pleiades Sector IR-W d1-55]] system, [[Aegis]] has recruited two of the galaxy's foremost independent [[engineers]] to immediately begin developing new defensive and offensive technologies. One of these engineers is Liz Ryder, a specialist in explosive weaponry, who spoke to The [[Federal Times]] about her involvement: "It's not about penetrating the Thargoids' shields – we've been blowing each other up for centuries so we've gotten pretty good at dealing punishment – it's about creating weapons that are specifically calibrated to damage Thargoid hardware." Ryder was asked if she thought it was too late to avert all-out conflict with the Thargoids: "That's a question for the politicians. My job is to design weapons. And if someone – or something – shoots at you, you've got two choices: run away or shoot back. At the moment, the first of those is our only option. It would be nice to have a second." Professor [[Ishmael Palin]], a leading authority on xenobiology, has also been recruited to the programme. He said: "My first task will be developing a scanner that can provide us with meaningful data on the Thargoids' ships. Of course, to properly calibrate these new technologies we will need large quantities of Thargoid material." Aegis has placed an open order for a range of Thargoid materials for use in the programme. Aegis Core has pledged to reward pilots who deliver unknown technology samples, unknown biological matter, ancient relics and explosives to Awyra Flirble in the [[Eurybia]] system for Liz Ryder. Aegis Research has promised to reimburse Commanders who deliver unknown technology samples, unknown resin, computer components and resonating separators to [[Obsidian Orbital]] in the [[Maia]] system for Ishmael Palin. The campaign begins on the 21st of September and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/59c3cb9dffff1a05c9770bdd GalNet: Community Goal: Engineers Appeal for Thargoid Material]</ref>
