*[[Hadrian Augustus Duval]] has broadcast a message following the purge of isolationist group [[Nova Imperium]]: "[[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] has revealed the true face of her regime – one based on brutality and terror. The callous execution of Imperator Mordanticus, in conjunction with thousands of [[Imperial Citizen|Imperial citizens]], shows her desperation to cling onto power at any cost. Nova Imperium survives in the Paresa system, a single light in the darkness. We stand for an Empire that respects everyone, from [[Imperial Slaves|slaves]] to [[senator]]s. I truly hope that any who value honour and tradition will help keep our spark alive. Our martyred leader will never be forgotten. In his honour, I have taken the title of Imperator Duval, until such time as the people choose me as their rightful [[emperor]]. Memento Mordanticus!"<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c52c4a1231ede6f495e2c75 GalNet: The New Imperator]</ref> | |||

*Kaeso Mordanticus, the captured leader of isolationist group Nova Imperium, has been brought before the Imperial Senate, with unexpected results. Political journalist [[Cassia Carvalho]] was at the scene: "Imperator Mordanticus was led into Senate House in shackles but still defiant. All rose as Emperor [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] entered, attended by Senator [[Denton Patreus]]. The Emperor and Patreus approached Mordanticus silently, whereupon Patreus executed the Imperator with his personal sidearm. Suddenly, the [[Imperial Guard]] opened fire, gunning down senators [[Pal Vespasian]] and [[Eloise Winterstone]], and others who had supported the isolationist cause. Once the initial shock had subsided, the Emperor stood over the Imperator's body. In a clear voice she announced: 'There is no Nova Imperium. There is only the Empire.' I have since heard reports of mass arrests and further public executions across [[Achenar/Capitol|Capitol]]. The rumour is that Patreus placed agents among Nova Imperium strongholds, which are now being eliminated from within. This may be the start of an Empire-wide purge."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c485c99128401188a499c82 GalNet: Blood on the Senate Floor]</ref> | *Kaeso Mordanticus, the captured leader of isolationist group Nova Imperium, has been brought before the Imperial Senate, with unexpected results.
