*The [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit]] has reported progress in its efforts to eliminate the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]]. Captain [[Milo Castile]], one of ACT's joint leaders, told a press briefing: "The recent civil war in the [[Marlinist Colonies]] was a tragedy, of course. But many pro-NMLA individuals were exposed during the conflict. Minister [[Jean-Christophe Lyon]], the newly elected leader of the Marlinism Reformation Party, has cooperated fully in rooting out extremists from his faction. As a result, our agents have successfully raided dozens of NMLA cells and arrested several thousand paramilitary activists. We also acquired intelligence leading to hidden assets in multiple systems. I can confirm that [[Theta Seven]] – as the NMLA's de facto leader calls himself – personally directed the Marlinist starport attacks. Unfortunately, we have yet to confirm Theta Group's current whereabouts. The threat of further bombings cannot be ruled out. The NMLA has also been seriously impacted by the death of [[Aaron Whyte]] and the failure to elect a Neo-Marlinist prime consul. Without the legitimacy of a political wing, I believe the terrorists will find it much harder to recruit new allies."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6136019ba158b3309b2221c2 GalNet: ACT Scores Victories Against the NMLA]</ref> | |||

*The [[Marlinist Colonies]] are recovering from a period of political infighting and inter-faction conflict. [[Octavia Volkov]] has been voted in as the new first minister following a snap election. Her decisive action against [[Aaron Whyte]]'s Neo-Marlinist movement, which led to the elimination of the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] political wing, drew huge support from voters. In a parliamentary address, First Minister Volkov said: "We must focus on building an [[independent]] society rather than changing the [[Empire]]. In time we will evolve into the fully-fledged Marlinist Republic we have fought so hard for, and perhaps inspire our Imperial cousins to walk the path to democracy." Marlinist factions now control all eight of their original colony systems, some of which had temporarily fallen under external governance. They have also expanded into a handful of new systems. Prime Consul [[Kayode Tau]], the chief ambassador of the Marlinists, has established formal channels with the [[Alliance Office of Diplomatic Relations]] and the [[Federal Diplomatic Corps]]. The Empire recognises the Marlinist Consulate, but maintains a distant relationship with what many consider to be subversive ex-Imperials. The ceremonial funeral of First Minister [[Jenna Fairfax]] has taken place. Speakers drew attention to her achievements and leadership qualities. In a gesture that many viewed as an olive branch from the Empire, Princess [[Aisling Duval]] attended virtually and spoke of her meeting with Fairfax during the [[Galactic Summit]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6128d297a78cbb379110b197 GalNet: Marlinists Regroup in Civil War Aftermath]</ref> | *The [[Marlinist Colonies]] are recovering from a period of political infighting and inter-faction conflict.
