*Isolationist group Nova Imperium has declared its intention to install a new Emperor. The group's leader, recently identified as ex-navy admiral Duke Kaeso Mordanticus and known as the Imperator, said: "The Empire has been weakened by collaborating with its enemies. Aegis drains our resources to protect foreign systems from the Thargoids, our security forces are stretched thin defending non-Imperial systems, and Princess Duval sullies her honourable name by dallying with a Federal libertine. Our people demand stronger leadership. We will achieve this by installing a new Emperor – one who will restore the glory of the Empire!" Political journalist Cassia Carvalho commented in The Imperial Herald: "Naturally there has been no response from Arissa Lavigny-Duval. But for many citizens, Mordanticus has articulated their unease about inter-superpower cooperation. With support for Nova Imperium increasing rapidly, a silent minority may now have found a voice."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5bf7d7f138756f17055080fc GalNet: Nova Imperium Demands New Emperor]</ref> | *Isolationist group Nova Imperium has declared its intention to install a new Emperor.

* A report compiled by the [[Imperial Internal Security Service]] on isolationist group Nova Imperium has been leaked. The [[Rewired]] news service broadcast the report in full: "This document compiles our latest intelligence on Nova Imperium, as requested. Although the group has not yet committed any crimes, its threat potential should not be underestimated. Its isolationist message resonates with those fearful of Thargoid invasion, and its rallying cry of 'Empire for the Imperials' aligns with the more conservative citizenry. We have identified the group’s leader, the Imperator, as Duke Kaeso Mordanticus, a former naval admiral from a long line of decorated veterans. Evidence suggests that Mordanticus still has contacts and influence in the [[Imperial Navy]]. Nova Imperium's ships are mostly run by ex-naval crews, bound by loyalty to their former commanding officer. We will continue to monitor Nova Imperium and report on any developments."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5bec1149af72282ec17e82eb GalNet: Report on Nova Imperium Leaked]</ref> | * A report compiled by the [[Imperial Internal Security Service]] on isolationist group Nova Imperium has been leaked.
