It is unknown when the League of Reparation was founded, but it may be a relatively recent development given that INRA's unethical activities came to the attention of the public in October 3303, following the rediscovery of ten abandoned INRA bases that were involved in anti-[[Thargoid]] research and operations. Presumably, the League was formed by a group of individuals who sought to avenge INRA's crimes by targeting the descendants of INRA personnel.

The League was first exposed on May 4, 3304, following the assassination of [[Empire|Imperial]] [[Senator]] [[Nestor Cartesius]].<ref name="COD" /> The Senator had been found dead in his home on [[Capitol]] on April 20, along with a note reading "For [[John Jameson|Jameson]]". Captain Niamh Seutonia of the [[Imperial Internal Security Service]] was placed in charge of the investigation.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5ad9b55f510d18391e4b1726 GalNet: Imperial Senator Murdered]</ref> The IISS eventually turned its focus to an unidentified former member of the [[Imperial Guard]], who was believed to have murdered Senator Cartesius with a nerve toxin. The assassin was tracked to her hideout, where she resisted arrest and was killed in the ensuing exchange of gunfire. Examination of the assassin's communication equipment revealed that she had been hired by the League of Reparation. Captain Seutonia announced that the IISS would begin pursuing the League to prevent more murders from being carried out, and confirmed that her investigation was coordinating with the [[Federation]] and the [[Alliance]].<ref name="COD" />

On May 16, 3304, Fleet Admiral Tulimaq Buchanan of the Alliance's [[Council of Admirals]] was killed when his ship was destroyed en route to [[Lave]]; the League claimed responsibility, transmitting the message "We do not forget the crimes of the INRA. We do not forgive those who carry their guilt. For Jameson" to news feeds across the galaxy. Chief Inspector Kay Kilbride of the tri-superpower taskforce assigned to subdue the League confirmed that Buchanan was a descendant of a senior INRA commander and condemned his assassination as an act of terrorism. She further suggested that the League's assassins were being aided by sympathizers in positions of influence.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5afc09b835904f70042b0b71 GalNet: Alliance Admiral Murdered By League of Reparation]</ref>

On May 23, 3304, the League of Reparation claimed three more victims in Federation space. Ezra Lux-Kumar, a wealthy entrepreneur, was found dead in his home on Biggs Colony, [[Altair]] from a dose of the same lethal nerve toxin used in the murder of Senator Cartesius. Meanwhile, the [[Pilots Federation]] confirmed that two of its pilots were killed in [[Rhea]] and [[Delta Pavonis]] after their ships were attacked; "FOR JAMESON" had been laser-branded on the ships' hulls. Senior Agent Tanya Ramirez of the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]] stated that these attacks confirmed that the League was well-organized and widespread. The victims' families were transported to secure locations for their protection, while the tri-power taskforce consulted genealogy databases to identify potential targets before they could be attacked.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b0566982ad53f5cb710ef98 GalNet: Federal Citizens Assassinated by the League of Reparation]</ref>

On June 1, 3304, the League destroyed five independent ships, killing all crewmembers. Three ships were attacked in Alliance-controlled systems, one in a Federation system, and one in an Empire system. "FOR JAMESON" had once again been etched on hull fragments at each site. Captain Seutonia announced that the tri-power investigative taskforce would treat the incidents as terrorist attacks. In addition, Seutonia reported that the taskforce had determined that the League's agents received their orders over a highly-encrypted comms channel from a source using the codename "Nexus", but the identity of "Nexus", whether individual, group, or faction, remained unknown.<ref name="SDBTLOR">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b10176ed135445a10624818 GalNet: Ships Destroyed by the League of Reparation]</ref>
