Line 1,428:
*The Marlinist Colonies announce the formation of its foreign relations department, the Marlinist Consulate. The final step involves holding an election for the post of prime consul, which widens a rift between pro-NMLA and anti-NMLA factions. One leading candidate is Verity Dexter, a member of the Marlinism Reformation Party who vows to speak for Neo-Marlinists; she has also been promised the Imperial rank of patron by Senator Lorcan Scordato, which would finally grant Marlinists a voice in the Imperial Senate after centuries of oppression. Dexter's main opponent, Kayode Tau, opposes Neo-Marlinism and any effort to legitimize it or the NMLA, but has no Imperial backers.
*Kumo Crew begins production of the drug helix. The Interstellar Health Organisation confirms that helix is another variant of onionhead, and mandates that it be packaged and sold as "Onionhead Gamma Strain". Archon Delaine responds to criticism over the drug's distribution by pointing out that every system's government profits from the pharmaceutical industry, and helix will spread happiness and generate income for his people.
*The election period for the prime consul of the Marlinist Consulate begins. Candidates Verity Dexter of the Marlinism Reformation Party and Kayode Tau of the Free Marlinist Movement request donations of data from the galactic community to support their campaigns.
*The Far God cult returns to headlines as Erik Gunnarson of the Wallglass Investigations Agency provides an overview of the Thargoid-worshipping sect, which has grown from a fringe group to a widespread religion. Several chapters of the Far God cult begin arriving in the Panjabell system, which is ruled by a sympathetic faction called the Pleiades Concordat, but the purpose behind this gathering is unknown.
