Line 1,303:
*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.
*Archon Delaine thanks the galactic community for ensuring the success of his starport construction initiative. All five planned starports, named Kumo City, California Freeport, Crimson Exchange, Fort Xeno, and Delaine's Terminus, are expected to be completed by April 29.
*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.
Line 1,311:
*Thanks to a robust response to its call for Guardian artefacts, Aegis is able to begin the early stages of research into new anti-Thargoid weapons and defences.
*President Zachary Hudson and Shadow President Felicia Winters launch dueling initiatives related to surveillance in the Federation. Hudson asks for deliveries of data to expand the Proactive Detection Bureau's reach and effectiveness, while Winters requests data to be used to protect personal communications from government intrusion. The outcome of the projects is expected to affect the security and stability of systems where the two politicians have influence.
*Archon Delaine's five new starports become operational. Authorities in nearby systems express concern that the stations may be under-staffed or will promote criminal activity. Arch-Corsair Kay Volantyne of the Kumo Council insists that the stations exist solely to encourage trade. Also of note is the presence of several Sirius Corporation divisions at the stations, implying Sirius may have provided Kumo Crew with financial support for the project.
