The '''League of Reparation''' was a secretive terrorist | The '''League of Reparation''' was a secretive terrorist organisation dedicated to avenging the victims of the [[Intergalactic Naval Reserve Arm]] (INRA) by assassinating the descendants of INRA personnel. The existence of the League was first brought to light following the murder of [[Empire|Imperial]] [[Senator]] [[Nestor Cartesius]] in April of 3304,<ref name="COD">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5aeaeeb2d71b1a7d5c760e78 GalNet: Covert Organisation Discovered]</ref> after which the organisation brazenly escalated its activities. Following several weeks of investigation by a tri-superpower taskforce assembled from members of [[Alliance]] [[Interpol]], the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]], and the [[Imperial Internal Security Service]], the League's founder and chief coordinator, [[Riri McAllister]], was apprehended. The League itself was declared dismantled on July 27, 3304.<ref name="GLORE">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b59e5ade14ab05c794ccfe4 GalNet: League of Reparation Eliminated]</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.

Senior Agent [[Tanya Ramirez]] of the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]] stated that these attacks confirmed that the League was well-organised 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> | On June 1, 3304, the League destroyed five independent ships, killing all crewmembers.

On June 7, an unemployed construction worker named Luca Hem was found dead in an antique [[Cobra MkIII]] that had been propelled into the Aeternitas A Belt and crashed into an asteroid. Senior Agent Tanya Ramirez confirmed that Luca Hem, a resident of Houtman City, Aeternitas, was a descendant of INRA Programme Coordinator Amaro Hem, and the murder was a staged recreation of the circumstances of the death of CMDR John Jameson.

On June 14, independent reporter Flint "Firemaker" Lafosse | On June 14, independent reporter Flint "Firemaker" Lafosse theorised that the League of Reparation was much older than previously assumed, and that Senator Cartesius was not its first victim. Lafosse researched unsolved murders, finding a dozen cases in Federation space alone where the victim was killed by a nerve toxin, and verifying that four of them were descendants of INRA personnel. The murders occurred between one and five years before Cartesius's assassination. Lafosse further speculated that the League could be responsible for a number of the countless unexplained shipwrecks adrift throughout the galaxy given their penchant for attacks on ships carrying an INRA descendant. Chief Inspector Kay Kilbride of Alliance [[Interpol]] responded to Lafosse's assertions on behalf of the investigating taskforce, explaining that the cold cases could not be conclusively linked to the League, and insisting that investigators are pursuing more concrete leads and are optimistic that a breakthrough is imminent.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b2286c778c5010c5f5a384f GalNet: League of Reparation Implicated in Historic Deaths]</ref> | ||

On June 20, Chief Inspector Kay Kilbride announced that a number of the League's agents had been apprehended. The agents had been lured to the home of Dinah Law, a descendant of INRA member Trystan Law, and captured by investigators before they could carry out the assassination. The captives were then taken to a secure Alliance Interpol facility for interrogation. Kilbride confirmed that the united taskforce's current goal was to ascertain the identity of Nexus, and that preliminary questioning of the agents had already yielded significant new facts.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b2a2f5210e5c64d0e17f68f GalNet: League of Reparation Agents Apprehended]</ref> | On June 20, Chief Inspector Kay Kilbride announced that a number of the League's agents had been apprehended.

Captain Niamh Seutonia and Senior Agent Tanya Ramirez issued a rare joint statement on behalf of their respective organisations, condemning the attack and mourning Kilbride's loss. Alliance Interpol assigned Deputy Inspector [[Mara Klatt]] to the tri-superpower taskforce as Kilbride's replacement.

During court proceedings, McAllister was shot by a laser weapon fired from the visitors' gallery; she survived, but was hospitalised. The assailant was identified as Polly Cartesius, daughter of the murdered Senator [[Nestor Cartesius]]. She had entered Alliance space under a false identity and used a concealed laser firearm that had been specifically designed to avoid security scanners in order to kill McAllister and avenge her father. Cartesius did not resist arrest, and was promptly taken into IISS custody by Captain Niamh Seutonia and then extradited to Capitol to be tried for attempted murder. Deputy Inspector Mara Klatt stated that McAllister's trial would resume at a later date, assuming she recovers.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b62ece23fe08212dd45e56d GalNet: Riri McAllister Shot]</ref> | ||
The medical ship transporting Riri McAllister to an advanced medical facility for further treatment vanished on August 10. According to Deputy Inspector Klatt, only debris was found at the medical ship's last known location, suggesting the ship was destroyed or hijacked, and the crew was assumed dead. Klatt speculated that the ship had been been targeted by someone else seeking vengeance against McAllister, a person with League connections who wanted to silence McAllister before she revealed further information, or by surviving League members who wanted to rescue McAllister. Whatever the case, McAllister was officially listed as missing rather than dead. As the League of Reparation had been pacified, the tri-superpower investigation taskforce was disbanded and its members returned to their respective agencies.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b6c440f4708f1736469df74 GalNet: The Death of Nexus?]</ref> | The medical ship transporting Riri McAllister to an advanced medical facility for further treatment vanished on August 10.
