*Princess [[Aisling Duval]] has publicly rejected the isolationist group Nova Imperium and its figurehead, [[Hadrian Augustus Duval|Hadrian Duval]]: "These extremists cause only division. Hadrian may well be the grandson of Hengist Duval, but that hardly makes him suited to the throne. Arissa has been silent for too long – she must act quickly to resolve this volatile situation." [[Senator]] [[Zemina Torval]] responded: "Much to my surprise, I find myself in agreement with Princess Duval. The notion of an [[Pilots Federation|independent pilot]] becoming ruler of the Empire is preposterous. I am confident that the Emperor will respond accordingly." Despite this united front, Senator [[Pal Vespasian]] stated: "Many senators are willing to recognise Hadrian Duval as Emperor-in-waiting. Nova Imperium is now a legitimate political movement with several million supporters. The only way the Empire will survive is by accepting the Imperator's proposals."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c1cb80734bfb82c40444680 GalNet: Aisling Duval Rejects Nova Imperium]</ref> | |||

*Hadrian Augustus Duval, the long-lost grandson of Emperor Hengist Duval, has broadcast a message to the Empire: "I am no wealthy senator from an entitled family, but someone who has lived an ordinary life. Someone who understands the hardships faced by many Imperial citizens. As Hadrian Jansen, I was a poor child with no family other than my father. Together we scraped a living as independent traders. He never spoke of his past – not even when he died two years ago. That was when I inherited his ship and became a Commander myself. When Imperator Mordanticus informed me of my heritage, I knew I had to accept my identity as a Duval. I've seen how diminished the Empire has become, and I know that new leadership is sorely needed. I ask you to honour the legacy of the Duval bloodline. With Nova Imperium, let's save the Empire we love."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c126afaadf370712c28681d GalNet: Hadrian Duval Addresses the Empire]</ref> | *Hadrian Augustus Duval, the long-lost grandson of Emperor Hengist Duval, has broadcast a message to the Empire: "I am no wealthy senator from an entitled family, but someone who has lived an ordinary life.
