*January 17 - The Imperial Senate continues stonewalling ACT's efforts to investigate Imperial Intelligence's possible ties to the NMLA, even as Captain Saskia Landau asserts that rogue elements with the organisation likely provided training and equipment to NMLA members. Senator Karl Nerva repeats his demand for ACT to be dissolved, but Senator Caspian Leopold sides with Landau and urges cooperation with ACT to reassure the public that Imperial Intelligence's activities are wholly above-board. | *January 17 - The Imperial Senate continues stonewalling ACT's efforts to investigate Imperial Intelligence's possible ties to the NMLA, even as Captain Saskia Landau asserts that rogue elements with the organisation likely provided training and equipment to NMLA members.

*January 18 - The Alliance, Empire, and Federation announce that per the recommendation of the Baumann Report, Aegis will be shut down. Responsibility for anti-Thargoid military operations will devolve to the Federal Navy, Imperial Navy, Alliance Defence Force, and Sirius Navy, and Aegis's xenological research will be continued by specialist departments of the Holloway Bioscience Institute, Imperial Science Academy, and Olympus Village University. While the shutdown of Aegis takes effect immediately, complete demobilisation of Aegis's personnel and assets is expected to take several more months. | *January 18 - The Alliance, Empire, and Federation announce that per the recommendation of the Baumann Report, Aegis will be shut down.

Independent pilots discover the wreckage of the Alexandria strewn in the rings of planet AB 2 in Wregoe TC-X b29-0, and recover logs recorded by Captain Jacob Morales that reveal the megaship was sabotaged and its cargo of Guardian artefacts seized by operatives working for "the Witch", a figure previously linked to Project Seraph and Azimuth Biochemicals. The Alexandria met its end after Morales and the surviving crew jerry-rigged the stranded vessel's hyperdrive to make an emergency jump, which carried the vessel hundreds of light years away from civilisation and tore it to pieces. | ||

*January 20 - In an interview with The Imperial Herald, Princess Aisling Duval discusses the ongoing absence of Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval. The Princess makes waves by suggesting that the Emperor's life may be in jeopardy in light of Captain Saskia Landau's allegations about Imperial Intelligence and the unexplained security breach that led to the assassination of Prince Harold.

*January 27 - The Reorte Mining Coalition attacks Sirius Corporation forces in Reorte after Sirius refuses to relocate the Chariot of Rhea. CEO Fergus Cassidy claims his faction is defending Reorte from an illegal intrusion by a foreign entity. Skirmishes break out across the system. Prime Minister Edmund Mahon orders the Reorte Mining Coalition to stand down, but Councillor Ainsley Niven, Reorte's represenative in the Assembly, claims the faction is justified in defending itself since it was not invited to ratify the Alliance-Sirius defence pact. | *January 27 - The Reorte Mining Coalition attacks Sirius Corporation forces in Reorte after Sirius refuses to relocate the Chariot of Rhea.

*January 31 - Based on the recovered logs of the late Captain Jacob Morales, Aegis declares that it is not at fault for the loss of the Alexandria. Chief Administrator Carter Armstrong also asserts that the common link between the Alexandria's attackers and Project Seraph, an individual known as "the Witch", strengthens the theory that Azimuth Biochemicals is still active after two centuries and continues to conduct dangerous xenological research. Armstrong requests that Aegis be reinstated immediately to counter Azimuth. | |||
