Captain '''Saskia Landau''' is a member of the [[Imperial Internal Security Service]]. She was assigned to the [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit]] as a co-leader and representative of the [[Empire]] following the resignation of Praetor [[Leo Magnus]] in late 3307. In January 3308, Landau exposed the existence of [[Omega Grid]], a classified dark-comms network exclusively used by the [[Imperial Intelligence Service]], after she came to suspect that it was the same communications technology that the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]] had employed to evade detection. Landau called on the [[Imperial Senate]] to investigate whether a member of Imperial Intelligence had given the NMLA access to Omega Grid.

*There are claims that the [[Imperial Senate]] is preventing efforts to examine a potential link between the [[Empire]]'s security services and the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]. Captain Saskia Landau has publicly stated that the terrorists' dark-comms network is closely related to the [[Omega Grid]] system used exclusively by [[Imperial Intelligence Service|Imperial Intelligence]]. She expanded on her theory in a statement to [[Vox Galactica]]: "Based on evidence and interrogation transcripts obtained by [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]], I believe that rogue elements within Imperial Intelligence were training and providing equipment to the NMLA. This would help explain the level of sophistication they achieved in coordinating their starport attacks and communicating without detection. There is certainly enough circumstantial proof to warrant a dedicated investigation. But the Senate is refusing to authorise this, which makes me wonder what they are trying to hide." [[Senator]] [[Karl Nerva]] reiterated: "It is time for ACT to devolve and return much-needed resources to the Empire where they belong." However, Senator [[Caspian Leopold]] responded: "To alleviate any lack of confidence in our security services, we should examine Captain Landau's allegation rigorously. Our citizens must be reassured that Imperial Intelligence exists solely for their protection."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61e5692c15fb8b7d00110b43 GalNet: Senate Blocks ACT Investigation]</ref>

*[[Senator]]s have refuted [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT's]] claim that the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] made use of official but highly secret [[Empire|Imperial]] communications devices. Captain Saskia Landau maintains that the terrorist group's dark-comms network was very similar to the [[Omega Grid]], an undetectable messaging system used exclusively by [[Imperial Intelligence Service|Imperial Intelligence]]. Senator [[Karl Nerva]] told the media: "In her desperation to seek out the NMLA, Captain Landau is chasing shadows. Imperial Intelligence must operate under total secrecy, but I assure you that this 'Omega Grid' is just as much of an invention to discredit the Empire as [[Serene Harbour]] was. Landau has overstepped her authority with these outlandish accusations. I once again propose that ACT be disbanded and its operatives returned to normal duties." The [[Imperial Herald]] reported that other senators are calling for [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] to overrule those who are blocking ACT's investigation. The [[newsfeed]] highlighted that she did not attend any functions in person during the past year, and has not broadcast any public messages. In response, [[Chancellor]] [[Anders Blaine]] gave this statement: "Her Majesty was placed under secure protection in early 3307 after several failed assassination attempts by the NMLA. She has been communicating remotely with the [[Imperial Senate|Senate]] on all official business, but does plan to return to [[Capitol]] very soon."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61d87063b2c1d9324e172402 GalNet: Imperial Intelligence Denies NMLA Connection]</ref>
