*The investigation into the death of Alliance presidential candidate [[Fazia Silva]] has concluded. No convictions have been made. Inspector Erin Sangster of Alliance [[Interpol]] made this statement: "The death of Fazia Silva has been officially ruled as homicide. The use of a sophisticated nerve toxin and the circumvention of security at Hume Orbital suggests the involvement of one or more professional assassins. Unfortunately, we have now exhausted all possible avenues of investigation, and are left with no option but to consider the case closed." President Gibson Kincaid told the media: "I have no doubt that the murder of Ms. Silva was designed to disrupt our democracy, and I will not rest until the Alliance's enemies pay for their crimes." Tashmira Silva has now assumed permanent control of her late sister's corporate empire.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5bd99a4b31f88f57f111077a GalNet: No Leads in Fazia Silva Case]</ref> | |||

*The Alliance Assembly has concluded its debate over President Gibson Kincaid’s request for executive powers. Prime Minister Edmund Mahon announced the decision: "The Assembly has voted that President Kincaid's proposed changes to the constitution will not be adopted, and no executive powers will be granted. There was broad agreement, however, that the role should be updated, which has resulted in the creation of a new non-political department: the Office of the Alliance President. The president will now oversee a team of ambassadorial emissaries who will focus on diplomatic functions. This will free up council members, allowing them to govern more effectively. The presidential term has also been extended to three years." President Kincaid told the media: "I regret that the Assembly cannot see how the Alliance would be strengthened by an empowered president, but I must respect their decision, and promise to put my new team of emissaries to good use."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5bcde4361cee9a6ed44a28ac GalNet: Alliance Assembly Revises Presidential Role]</ref> | *The Alliance Assembly has concluded its debate over President Gibson Kincaid’s request for executive powers.
