*The hunt for the killers of the Darius family came to a dramatic conclusion today in a firefight with local security forces on [[Eotienses]]. The Darius family was brutally murdered four days ago in what is believed to be revenge for Brendan Paul Darius's assassination of [[Emperor]] [[Hengist Duval]]. All of the suspects – who are understood to have been local vigilantes seeking revenge for the Emperor's murder – were killed in the operation. In a statement, Inspector Reeve, who led the investigation, said: "Considering the savagery with which the suspects butchered the Darius family, we couldn't take any chances while attempting to arrest them. They were heavily armed and opened fire as our officers entered the building." He refused to answer questions about why the family wasn't in protective custody, or how the protection team were able to be subdued so easily. One local witness of the operation claimed that no attempt was made to arrest the suspects, an accusation Inspector Reeve vigorously denied.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55d592869657bae5122c7ad6 GalNet: Gun Battle Ends Darius Family Murder Investigation]</ref> | *The hunt for the killers of the Darius family came to a dramatic conclusion today in a firefight with local security forces on [[Eotienses]].

*[[Imperial Navy|Imperial Naval]] infantry have once again intervened as protesters – who have taken issue with [[Senator]] [[Denton Patreus]]'s connection to Brendan Paul Darius, the [[Emperor]]'s murderer – attempted to prevent access to some of Senator Patreus's allies late last night. This time the agitators resisted the soldiers' efforts to maintain peace. After several attempts to peacefully resolve the situation, a riot squad was deployed to restore order. The action was efficiently completed, but smaller disturbances and protests flared up throughout the night. All were pacified by the troops but many mourners were forced to flee. Calm was eventually restored and an [[Imperial Guard]] company has now been stationed to secure the entrance to the [[Imperial Palace|Hall of Martyrs]]. A full regiment of Naval infantry has also been moved into the city.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55d19e029657ba8b2074dad9 GalNet: Further Disturbances in Mourners' Line]</ref> | *[[Imperial Navy|Imperial Naval]] infantry have once again intervened as protesters – who have taken issue with [[Senator]] [[Denton Patreus]]'s connection to Brendan Paul Darius, the [[Emperor]]'s murderer – attempted to prevent access to some of Senator Patreus's allies late last night.

*The immediate family of Brendan Paul Darius – including his mother, father, sister and six year old niece – have been found murdered at their home on [[Eotienses]]. Inspector Reeve commented to local press that these were the most horrific deaths he had encountered in his many years of service. After the murderer of [[Emperor]] [[Hengist Duval]] was revealed to be Imperial citizen Brendan Paul Darius, a light protection duty was placed with his family in case of reprisals, although locals were sympathetic to the family's dishonour rather than blaming them. Inspector Reeve didn't comment on how the killers were able to subdue the guards, even though no fatalities in the team have been reported. The Inspector promised swift justice for the murders and called on anyone with any information to contact their local security office.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55cdb1e69657ba2a36aa1054 GalNet: Assassin's Family Brutally Murdered]</ref> | *The immediate family of Brendan Paul Darius – including his mother, father, sister and six year old niece – have been found murdered at their home on [[Eotienses]].

*It is with a heavy heart that we report that [[Emperor]] [[Hengist Duval]] died en route to the Imperial Navy Medical Facility near the [[Imperial Palace]]. Confirmation of the news came from [[Chancellor]] [[Anders Blaine]], who appeared visibly upset. He confirmed that the Emperor died after being stabbed by a member of the congregation. Chancellor Blaine refused to provide any details of the attacker, but stated that a full investigation was underway. A source from the [[Imperial Intelligence Service]] told us that the attacker was a member of [[Senator]] [[Denton Patreus]]'s party attending the wedding. The Senator was unavailable for comment. In the streets, the Imperial Naval Infantry has started ushering people home as the official period of mourning begins.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55c1d0809657bafa440d630e GalNet: Emperor Hengist Duval Dead]</ref> | *It is with a heavy heart that we report that [[Emperor]] [[Hengist Duval]] died en route to the Imperial Navy Medical Facility near the [[Imperial Palace]].

*The city is in a state of shock following news that the [[Emperor]] was attacked by a high-ranking official during the wedding ceremony. Details of the attack are scant at the moment as a total comms blackout was imposed throughout the immediate area following the incident. One of our sources has indicated that the assailant was killed, but that he managed to injure the Emperor before he died. We do not know how serious the Emperor's injuries are, but our hope is that he makes a swift recovery. Along the route of the procession, millions of citizens and slaves who had been celebrating the grand occasion wait in stunned silence for news of their beloved Emperor. We wait with them.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55c1d0099657bafd440d630d GalNet: Emperor Hengist Duval Attacked During Wedding]</ref> | *[[Capitol (city)|The city]] is in a state of shock following news that the [[Emperor]] was attacked by a high-ranking official during the wedding ceremony.
