*[[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] has ordered the [[Imperial Guard]] to provide increased security to surviving members of the [[Imperial Family|Duval dynasty]]. Many Imperial Family members, including [[Harold Duval|Prince Harold]], were assassinated by the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]. Sources close to Emperor Arissa state that she is determined to preserve the remaining Duval bloodline as well as deter any future attacks. The Imperial Guard is a legion of elite warriors under the direct control of the Emperor. Although typically seen performing ceremonial duties, they are a highly trained fighting force. It is understood that their numbers have been boosted by a focused enlistment drive from other areas of the Imperial military. A cohort of Imperial Guard has been placed at the service of Princess [[Aisling Duval]]. She has gratefully accepted their presence and integrated them with her existing security team. Similar squads have been posted to the households of Archduke [[Otto Lombardo-Duval]] and [[Lucretia Roche-Duval]], both of whom are descended from the siblings of [[Hesketh Duval|Emperor Hesketh]]. Legionnaires were also assigned to direct relations of Emperor Arissa, including her prominent cousins Admiral [[Lucius Lavigny]] and Countess [[Guinevere Lavigny]]. Only [[Hadrian Augustus Duval|Hadrian Duval]] declined the offer of additional protection, stating that he will rely on his [[Praetorian Guard]]. He reassured his followers that a hand-picked corps permanently surrounds his infant son Hector Duval.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/622b3194555c5b61923cbb81 GalNet: Imperial Guard Defends Duvals]</ref> | |||

*[[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] has released details about a plan by the [[Lords of Restoration]] to frame [[Hadrian Augustus Duval]] as the leader of the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]. The information was extracted from the NMLA's [[Omega Grid]] network and published by Captain [[Saskia Landau]]: "It was [[Senator]] [[Ursula Torquatus]] who devised a scheme to undermine the [[Imperial Family]] and turn citizens against them by 'exposing' a Duval as the NMLA mastermind. Hadrian Duval was seen as the logical choice since many viewed him as an extremist through his prior association with [[Nova Paresa|Nova Imperium]], though [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] officially pardoned him in 3306. The Lords of Restoration used a virtual doppelganger of the Emperor, indistinguishable from authentic transmissions, to convince the [[Imperial Senate|Senate]] that she was communicating from a safe location. A similar doppelganger was developed to replicate Hadrian and was used to send orders to NMLA allies such as the [[Arastin Delacroix|Landgrave of Mudhrid]]. This is how they planted evidence, discovered in April 3307, that Hadrian had converted to Neo-Marlinism and was determined to wipe out all other Duvals. Yet, despite triggering an unsuccessful [[Federation|Federal]] attack in the [[Paresa]] system, the accusation was not verified or widely believed. Months later, the Lords of Restoration tried to kill Hadrian and [[Astrid Minerva-Duval|Lady Astrid]] before their son Hector could be born, fearing the continuation of the Duval dynasty. But other senators moved the family to a secure location, beyond the reach of their agents." Hadrian Duval has publicly thanked ACT for uncovering this information and officially absolving him of all suspicion in this matter.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/62138ad4d83a154b750c5986 GalNet: Further Omega Grid Secrets Revealed]</ref> | *[[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] has released details about a plan by the [[Lords of Restoration]] to frame [[Hadrian Augustus Duval]] as the leader of the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]].
