*Princess [[Aisling Duval]] has discussed growing concerns over [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]]'s lack of public engagements in recent months. In an interview with The [[Imperial Herald]], she said: "[[Chancellor]] [[Anders Blaine|Blaine]] assures us that the Emperor has been kept in seclusion for nearly a year to protect her from the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]. But why has this prevented the [[Empire]]'s ruler from engaging with her citizens? After all, [[Hadrian Augustus Duval|Hadrian Duval]] and his family were placed under the same [[Imperial Senate|senatorial]] protection without disappearing altogether. We know that the Emperor has communicated with the Senate on various matters during this time. Government channels are generally trusted thanks to [[Imperial Intelligence Service|Imperial Intelligence's]] verification protocols. But Captain Landau's recent testimony, which links Imperial Intelligence to the NMLA, has me concerned. How can I be sure that a breach to our most secure networks wasn't responsible for the location and murder of my father, [[Harold Duval|Prince Harold]]? Until Arissa appears in person, it is irresponsible to assume her safety is guaranteed. I will be most relieved to have my fears proved wrong." Chancellor Anders Blaine responded: "With the greatest respect to Princess Duval, I have never had cause to believe that Her Majesty the Emperor is in any danger from her own security agencies. Her imminent return to public life should alleviate such concerns."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61e990e8f149e92c535802d2 GalNet: The Missing Emperor?]</ref> | |||

*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> | *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]].
