League of Reparation: Difference between revisions

It is unknown when the League of Reparation was founded, but it may be a relatively recent development given that INRA's unethical activities came to the attention of the public in October 3303, following the rediscovery of ten abandoned INRA bases that were involved in anti-[[Thargoid]] research and operations. Presumably, the League was formed by a group of individuals who sought to avenge INRA's crimes by targeting the descendants of INRA personnel.

The League was first exposed on May 4, 3304, following the assassination of [[Empire|Imperial]] [[Senator]] [[Nestor Cartesius]].<ref name="COD" /> The Senator had been found dead in his home on [[Capitol]] on April 20, along with a note reading "For [[John Jameson|Jameson]]". Captain [[Niamh Seutonia]] of the [[Imperial Internal Security Service]] was placed in charge of the investigation.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5ad9b55f510d18391e4b1726 GalNet: Imperial Senator Murdered]</ref> The IISS eventually turned its focus to an unidentified former member of the [[Imperial Guard]], who was believed to have murdered Senator Cartesius with a nerve toxin. The assassin was tracked to her hideout, where she resisted arrest and was killed in the ensuing exchange of gunfire. Examination of the assassin's communication equipment revealed that she had been hired by the League of Reparation. Captain Seutonia announced that the IISS would begin pursuing the League to prevent more murders from being carried out, and confirmed that her investigation was coordinating with the [[Federation]] and the [[Alliance]].<ref name="COD" />

On May 16, 3304, Fleet Admiral [[Tulimaq Buchanan]] of the Alliance's [[Council of Admirals]] was killed when his ship was destroyed en route to [[Lave]]; the League claimed responsibility, transmitting the message "We do not forget the crimes of the INRA. We do not forgive those who carry their guilt. For Jameson" to news feeds across the galaxy. Chief Inspector [[Kay Kilbride]] of the tri-superpower taskforce assigned to subdue the League confirmed that Buchanan was a descendant of a senior INRA commander and condemned his assassination as an act of terrorism. She further suggested that the League's assassins were being aided by sympathizers in positions of influence.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5afc09b835904f70042b0b71 GalNet: Alliance Admiral Murdered By League of Reparation]</ref>

On June 7, an unemployed construction worker named Luca Hem was found dead in an antique [[Cobra MkIII]] that had been propelled into the Aeternitas A Belt and crashed into an asteroid. Senior Agent Tanya Ramirez confirmed that Luca Hem, a resident of Houtman City, Aeternitas, was a descendant of INRA Programme Coordinator Amaro Hem, and the murder was a staged recreation of the circumstances of the death of CMDR John Jameson. The League of Reparation was assumed to be involved. Luca Hem's wife and children were taken to a secure location for their protection, along with nine other families related to Amaro Hem. Agent Ramirez concluded that the League was using theatrical tactics to maximize its media exposure.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b18edf780daf1637c2ae103 GalNet: INRA Descendant Murdered]</ref>

On June 14, independent reporter Flint "Firemaker" Lafosse theorized that the League of Reparation was much older than previously assumed, and that Senator Cartesius was not its first victim. Lafosse researched unsolved murders, finding a dozen cases in Federation space alone where the victim was killed by a nerve toxin, and verifying that four of them were descendants of INRA personnel. The murders occurred between one and five years before Cartesius's assassination. Lafosse further speculated that the League could be responsible for a number of the countless unexplained shipwrecks adrift throughout the galaxy given their penchant for attacks on ships carrying an INRA descendant. Chief Inspector Kay Kilbride of Alliance [[Interpol]] responded to Lafosse's assertions on behalf of the investigating taskforce, explaining that the cold cases could not be conclusively linked to the League, and insisting that investigators are pursuing more concrete leads and are optimistic that a breakthrough is imminent.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b2286c778c5010c5f5a384f GalNet: League of Reparation Implicated in Historic Deaths]</ref>

On June 15, [[Engineers|Engineer]] [[Lori Jameson]], the great-granddaughter of CMDR John Jameson, publicly condemned the League's actions and issued a plea to Nexus to cease the attacks. Senior Agent Tanya Ramirez confirmed that Lori was cooperating with the united taskforce's investigation.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b23bb4278c5010780298759 GalNet: Lori Jameson Denounces Terrorist Organisation]</ref>

On June 20, Chief Inspector Kay Kilbride announced that a number of the League's agents had been apprehended. The agents had been lured to the home of Dinah Law, a descendant of INRA member Trystan Law, and captured by investigators before they could carry out the assassination. The captives were then taken to a secure Alliance Interpol facility for interrogation. Kilbride confirmed that the united taskforce's current goal was to ascertain the identity of Nexus, and that preliminary questioning of the agents had already yielded significant new facts.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b2a2f5210e5c64d0e17f68f GalNet: League of Reparation Agents Apprehended]</ref>
