*[[Kaeso Mordanticus]], the captured leader of isolationist group [[Nova Imperium]], has been brought before the [[Imperial Senate]], with unexpected results. Political journalist [[Cassia Carvalho]] was at the scene: "Imperator Mordanticus was led into Senate House in shackles but still defiant. All rose as Emperor [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] entered, attended by Senator [[Denton Patreus]]. The Emperor and Patreus approached Mordanticus silently, whereupon Patreus executed the Imperator with his personal sidearm. Suddenly, the [[Imperial Guard]] opened fire, gunning down senators [[Pal Vespasian]] and Eloise Winterstone, and others who had supported the isolationist cause. Once the initial shock had subsided, the Emperor stood over the Imperator's body. In a clear voice she announced: 'There is no Nova Imperium. There is only the Empire.' I have since heard reports of mass arrests and further public executions across [[Achenar/Capitol|Capitol]]. The rumour is that Patreus placed agents among Nova Imperium strongholds, which are now being eliminated from within. This may be the start of an Empire-wide purge."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c485c99128401188a499c82 GalNet: Blood on the Senate Floor]</ref> | |||

*[[Empire|Imperial]] [[senator]]s supporting the isolationist group [[Nova Imperium]] have demanded that [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] acknowledge its figurehead, [[Hadrian Augustus Duval]]. Senator Eloise Winterstone proclaimed to the Senate: "The [[Imperial Family|Imperial family]] must officially recognise Hadrian Duval as one of its own. Given that the Emperor has no children, such an act would secure the future of the Duval bloodline." [[Chancellor]] [[Anders Blaine]] replied: "Our official position is that Nova Imperium is a fringe organisation with no right to determine policy. We have no more to say on the matter." Political journalist [[Cassia Carvalho]] wrote in The [[Imperial Herald]]: "With the possibility of civil war increasing, the suggestion that Arissa accept [[Hengist Duval]]'s grandson as an heir feels like a reasonable compromise. Her lack of response so far has led to accusations of weakness, with many calling on her to step down and for Hadrian Duval to be instated as sovereign ruler."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c1cbab334bfb8306913485f GalNet: An Heir to the Imperial Throne?]</ref> | *[[Empire|Imperial]] [[senator]]s supporting the isolationist group [[Nova Imperium]] have demanded that [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] acknowledge its figurehead, [[Hadrian Augustus Duval]].
