'''Delphine Dumont''' is a member of the [[Federal Diplomatic Corps]] and the [[Federation|Federal]] [[Ambassador]] to [[Delta Pavonis]]. In September 3307, she arrived in Delta Pavonis aboard the [[megaship]] Freedom's Foundation to persuade the system's new ruling faction, the [[independent]] Autocracy of Delta Pavonis, to join the Federation as a member state. Dumont had to compete with [[Yuri Grom]] of the [[EG Pilots]], who was also vying for the system's allegiance. | '''Delphine Dumont''' is a member of the [[Federal Diplomatic Corps]] and the [[Federation|Federal]] [[Ambassador]] to [[Delta Pavonis]].

*The [[Federal Diplomatic Corps]] has officially denounced [[Zachary Hudson|President Hudson's]] attempt to capture [[Yuri Grom]] in the [[Delta Pavonis]] system. The political conference was to determine whether the system's ruling faction would ally with the [[EG Pilots|EG Union]] or the [[Federation]]. It was abandoned when a Federal black ops team attempted to arrest Yuri Grom's delegation, triggering a conflict in the system. [[Ambassador]] Delphine Dumont told The [[Federal Times]]: "We have no option but to state that our own government has violated the conventions of diplomatic immunity. This conference was established in good faith with all parties. We were not informed that any hostile act against EG Union was planned. I offer my personal apologies to Yuri Grom. Our negotiations were spirited but honest, and I genuinely felt that progress was being made." This is the first time that the Federal Diplomatic Corps has distanced itself from the actions of a sitting president. Political observers believe that this is to maintain its reputation for integrity, especially in dealings with the [[Alliance]] and [[Empire]]. Public reaction in the Federation has been varied, with President Zachary Hudson being praised and criticised in equal measure. Insiders within his administration suggest that he is under enormous pressure to regain popularity, following the [[Federal Rebellion of 3307|recent rebellion]] of several Federal systems.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/615aec709ec24f4f7d51a8eb GalNet: Ambassador Condemns Entrapment of Yuri Grom]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Delta Pavonis]] political conference has erupted into conflict between [[EG Pilots|EG Union]] and Delta Pavonis Galactic Interstellar. [[Yuri Grom]], the ruler of EG Union, broadcast this message: "This conference was nothing more than a trap! My delegation was apprehended at gunpoint by a squad of undercover [[Federal Intelligence Agency|Federal agents]]. Sacrifices made by my loyal guards enabled us to escape from Kessler City, only to find our ships under attack. The [[Federation]] has declared war – I will respond in kind!" [[President of the Federation|President]] [[Zachary Hudson]] gave an official statement: "Yuri Grom is a traitor and a dangerous threat to Federal security. We cannot ignore any opportunity to eliminate this ruthless tyrant." Delta Pavonis Galactic Interstellar has asked for Federal auxiliaries to provide combat support to its forces. In return, the EG Union called for help from "allies of Yuri Grom and enemies of the Federation". Grand Duke [[Simion Petrescu]], the host of the political conference, has rejected claims that his faction was secretly working with the Federation to entrap Yuri Grom. The [[Federal Diplomatic Corps]] has not yet commented on its role in these events.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6155b717ad7f731bc054e57d GalNet: Yuri Grom Targeted by Federal Strike]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Delta Pavonis]] political conference has erupted into conflict between [[EG Pilots|EG Union]] and Delta Pavonis Galactic Interstellar.

*Negotiations between the [[Federation]] and self-styled dictator [[Yuri Grom]] are underway to determine the [[Delta Pavonis]] system's allegiance. Political correspondent [[Conrad Sterling]] published an update for [[Vox Galactica]]: "In recent years, Yuri Grom has developed a degree of mystique. He was one of the few leaders not to attend the [[Galactic Summit]], and news from within his dominion was scarce. But now he is visibly relishing the opportunity to confront Federal representatives under the protection of diplomatic immunity. Initial exchanges were belligerent as both sides argued over who would be the most beneficial partner. This was to be expected since Delta Pavonis is one of the Federation's founding systems, and it would be a significant coup for [[EG Pilots|EG Union]] to establish a presence so close to [[Sol]]. What was unexpected was the mutual respect that gradually developed between Yuri Grom and [[Ambassador]] Delphine Dumont. Her charming manner clearly appealed to the dictator, even bringing forth his thunderous laughter on occasion. A deal is now being discussed that would allow the Autocracy of Delta Pavonis to have trade and political ties with both parties while remaining [[independent]]. Perhaps the Federation has learned some lessons from the [[Federal Rebellion of 3307|recent rebellion]], and perhaps Yuri Grom's hatred of the superpower he once served is finally abating."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/614dbf3b10d993146c5fbd1e GalNet: Progress Between Federation and Yuri Grom]</ref> | *Negotiations between the [[Federation]] and self-styled dictator [[Yuri Grom]] are underway to determine the [[Delta Pavonis]] system's allegiance.

*Delegations from the [[Federation]] and the dictator [[Yuri Grom]] are meeting to determine the [[Delta Pavonis]] system's future. Both are on a diplomatic mission to convince its controlling faction to either swear allegiance to Yuri Grom or become a Federal member state. Delta Pavonis was one of the original signatories of the [[Federal Accord]] in 2242, but has recently been governed by an [[independent]] autocracy. Yuri Grom himself is present, having arrived on the [[megaship]] Indomitable. Grom was once a respected admiral in the [[Federal Navy]], before defecting with huge numbers of ships and followers. They established the independent [[EG Pilots|EG Union]], which he presides over as a military dictatorship. The rival delegation is led by [[Ambassador]] Delphine Dumont of the [[Federal Diplomatic Corps]]. They were transported on the Freedom's Foundation megaship courtesy of Delta Pavonis Galactic Interstellar, which formerly controlled the system. The ambassador invited [[News Feed|newsfeeds]] to witness her initial introduction to Yuri Grom, who seemed slightly taken aback by her warm greeting. Grand Duke [[Simion Petrescu]], ruler of the Autocracy of Delta Pavonis, told attending journalists: "The conference will take place in Kessler City on Reagan's Legacy, where our distinguished guests will enjoy our famous hospitality. I look forward to learning more about their respective proposals." This is the first time that the Federation has diplomatically engaged with Yuri Grom. Political observers noted that this tactful approach may be due to several Federal factions [[Federal Rebellion of 3307|recently declaring independence]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6144868d80ba29040f2bbdd4 GalNet: Delta Pavonis Hosts Political Conference]</ref> | *Delegations from the [[Federation]] and the dictator [[Yuri Grom]] are meeting to determine the [[Delta Pavonis]] system's future.
