'''Constanza Noguera''' is the Mayor of Azaladshu Free, an [[independent]] minor faction based in the Azaladshu system that was originally a member of the [[Federation]]. Noguera was elected in June 3307 on a wave of public discontent within the Federation that followed the passage of the [[Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act]] and the implementation of the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]]. The Mayor promptly declared Azaladshu Free's independence from the Federation on June 29, 3307. The move not only meant the withdrawal of Azaladshu from the [[Federal Accord]], but also the withdrawal of three other systems that were under the faction's control at the time: LFT 824, LHS 277, and LTT 3919. [[Federal Congress]] and [[President of the Federation|President]] [[Zachary Hudson]] considered the withdrawal illegal because it was not approved by a referendum held among Azaladshu Free's constituents as required by Federal law. | '''Constanza Noguera''' is the Mayor of Azaladshu Free, an [[independent]] minor faction based in the Azaladshu system that was originally a member of the [[Federation]].

Mayor Noguera's secession bid instigated a conflict in Azaladshu between her faction and the Federal loyalist faction Neche Inc from July 1, 3307, to July 8, 3307. Azaladshu Free achieved victory and secured its independence, which inspired the secession of three other like-minded factions and their systems: the Coalition of Uteran, which controlled Uteran and Ga'anjob'al; LP 726-6 Free, which controlled LP 726-6 and Aunochis; and Gluscap Labour, which controlled Gluscap and V902 Centauri. | Mayor Noguera's secession bid instigated a conflict in Azaladshu between her faction and the Federal loyalist faction Neche Inc from July 1, 3307, to July 8, 3307.

In the aftermath, more Federal factions considered following suit, prompting concerns in the Federal government about a potential widespread rebellion. | ||

*More [[Federation|Federal]] factions are considering declaring independence following the recent conflict in the Azaladshu system. [[Sofia Trevino]], political journalist with The [[Federal Times]], published an overview of the situation: "When Azaladshu Free seceded in reaction to the government's surveillance laws, it inspired three other factions to do the same, making ten systems and a billion people independent. Superpowers routinely gain and lose systems via local politics, but this was a rare instance of member factions abandoning their fealty. The newly sovereign nations have severed all links with the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]], so their communications are no longer being monitored. Despite broad public support for the [[Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act]], many citizens still consider personal privacy to be a constitutional right. Dozens of other factions are now considering independence. This affects only a small percentage of the systems under Federal control, but is highly embarrassing for [[Zachary Hudson|President Hudson]] as well as [[Felicia Winters|Shadow President Winters]] – her organised resistance to the surveillance laws is what inspired factions to secede. [[Advocacy]], the civil rights organisation, claims that the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]] has begun arresting secessionist ringleaders under spurious charges. If true, it suggests that the government will go to any lengths to prevent a full-scale rebellion spreading throughout the Federation."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60f82834f353e248204f2416 GalNet: Federation Threatened by Further Secession]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The Azaladshu Free faction has defeated the forces of Neche Inc and retained independence from the [[Federation]]. As a result, the Azaladshu, LFT 824, LHS 277 and LTT 3919 systems have confirmed their [[independent]] status. The victory also inspired the Coalition of Uteran, LP 726-6 Free and Gluscap Labour factions to secede from the Federation, affecting all systems under their control. Mayor Constanza Noguera, leader of Azaladshu Free, declared: "A Federation that abuses the rights of its people has no authority. With the help of our loyal supporters, we've made a stand for dignity and civil rights." The situation has caused turmoil in [[Federal Congress|Congress]], with [[President of the Federation|President]] [[Zachary Hudson]] being criticised for his inability to contain this rebellion. [[Shadow President]] [[Felicia Winters]] responded to accusations that she orchestrated the seceding factions: "I support their rejection of our harsh surveillance laws, but not their methods of protest. I have no wish to see the Federation lose member systems for any reason." Pilots who supported the Azaladshu Free faction can collect their rewards at Eratosthenes Ring station.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60e6e7816d8ad419973f01df GalNet: Independence Spreads from Azaladshu System]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The Azaladshu Free faction has defeated the forces of Neche Inc and retained independence from the [[Federation]].
