Elite Dangerous Timeline/34th century: Difference between revisions

*Imperial Senator Lorcan Scordato brokers an agreement between the Marlinist Colonies and the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid that also placates the superpowers. In exchange for identifying the NMLA's senior leadership to ACT, Landgrave Arastin Delacroix and his inner circle will receive life imprisonment at a Marlinist detention facility for their role in Nine Martyrs, while the rank-and-file members of the Order will be given the chance to apply for citizenship after submitting to security screening.

*Deputy Director Bethany Blake of the FIA reports that the Proactive Detection Bureau has identified over a dozen previously unknown extremist organisations within the Federation, and thousands of individuals were arrested for researching terror tactics, radical ideologies, and other suspicious subjects. Civil rights groups claimed that these groups could have been found via conventional policing methods, and criminologists noted that they were amateurs who were statistically unlikely to carry out attacks.

*Aegis sets into motion plans to re-analyse Guardian technology to develop more defences against the Thargoids, a committment it had made during the Galactic Summit. Professor Alba Tesreau issues a request for Guardian artefacts to be delivered to the Aegis Research megaship Alexandria in the Delphi system, and offers access to Guardian Gauss Cannons as an extra incentive.

*Shadow President Felicia Winters criticises the Proactive Detection Bureau as an unconstitutional violation of data privacy rights outlined in the Federal Accord, and points out that it is incapable of monitoring the dark-comms network that ACT believes the NMLA is using. Civil rights group Advocacy asserts that the data collection infrastructure for the PDB was likely already in place for some time before the Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act was implemented. Opinion polls indicate the PDB is supported by a slim majority of Federal citizens.

*Francesca Wolfe reports on the discovery of the Hesperus and The Scriveners Clan Dredger, and provides more details about the Scriveners' culture. The decrypted Hesperus logs downloaded from the Dredger are preserved for posterity in a Tourist Beacon in Perseus Dark Region KC-V c2-2.

*Hadrian Augustus Duval and Astrid Minerva-Duval deny the allegation made by Landgrave Arastin Delacroix that they are leading members of the NMLA after ACT confirms that the leaked files obtained by Flint Lafosse were genuine. The allegation is also criticised by Princess Aisling Duval, but in a statement before the Imperial Senate, Senator Zemina Torval calls for Imperator Hadrian to be punished for rebelling against the Empire. ACT asks for patience while it investigates the Landgrave's claims.
