*The [[Empire]] has revealed new evidence that suggests the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] terrorist group may be receiving help from elements within the Federation. A report from the [[Imperial Internal Security Service]] stated: "With information provided by the engineer Liz Ryder, we located an abandoned workshop where explosives had been constructed using her blueprints. Traces were found of [[Thargoid]] caustic enzymes, matching the payloads delivered during the starport bombings. Micro-signage on cargo containers identified bulk deliveries of equipment from a [[Federation|Federal]] system in neutral space, where we believe the NMLA has a second bomb-making facility. IISS agents are currently investigating to confirm these findings." Federal Ambassador [[Jordan Rochester]] refuted these allegations: "The suggestion that we're responsible for the Empire's home-grown extremists is laughable. As with their persecution of Marlinists, this is another excuse for an inability to solve their own problems." Imperial Ambassador [[Imogen Luciana]] responded: "There have long been rumours that the NMLA has the Federation's support, to destabilise the Empire and promote republican propaganda. If true, there will be severe consequences." In related news, some Federal systems are struggling to cope with an influx of Marlinist refugees. Public disobedience, food shortages and epidemics have been reported in the Thetis, LTT 1935 and HIP 36081 systems, due to a lack of additional resources.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fa150066d8b9d033135fee7 GalNet: Federation Accused of Supporting the NMLA]</ref> | |||

*Liz Ryder, an [[Engineers|engineer]] based in the Eurybia system, has confirmed that her designs for an explosive match those used by [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] terrorists against [[Empire|Imperial]] starports. Her statement was distributed by [[Vox Galactica]]: "Under a private contract from what appeared to be the Eurybia Blue Mafia, I designed demolition charges capable of delivering a secondary payload. At no point did I know these would be customised to hold [[Thargoid]] caustic enzymes or used in terrorist activities. Until recently, I had no idea that the starport bombings were caused by modified versions of my design. I have since discovered that my contractors used false identification, and now seem to be untraceable. It appears that the NMLA, or people working for them, infiltrated the Eurybia Blue Mafia to access my services. To help clear the Eurybia Blue Mafia, which has supported me for years, I have provided Imperial investigators with all the data I have regarding this contract. I urge the Empire to accept that we were all deceived by the terrorists." The [[Imperial Internal Security Service]] confirmed that the warrant for Liz Ryder's arrest has been rescinded and it is reviewing her information, which may lead to locating the source of the Thargoid enzymes used in the bombs.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f8456b60e06543de959c6be GalNet: Engineer Reveals Link to Terrorist Bombs]</ref> | *Liz Ryder, an [[Engineers|engineer]] based in the Eurybia system, has confirmed that her designs for an explosive match those used by [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] terrorists against [[Empire|Imperial]] starports.
