=== Aisling Duval Rejects Nova Imperium === | |||
Princess Aisling Duval has publicly rejected the isolationist group Nova Imperium and its figurehead, 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 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.” | |||

=== Nanomed Trials Successful === | |||
Clinical trials for new nanomedicines developed by Vitadyne Labs have delivered outstanding results. | |||
Observers from the Interstellar Health Organisation summarised: | |||
“Our teams carefully monitored the use of Vitadyne nanomeds on patients for whom conventional treatments were unsuitable. In all cases, the nanomedicines eliminated malignant cells, boosted immune systems and repaired damaged tissue.” | |||
“There is no doubt that this product represents a breakthrough in nanomedicine, with enormous healthcare potential.” | |||
Professor Katrien Rook, owner of Vitadyne Labs, told the media: | |||
“It’s highly gratifying to have our work validated in this way. I’m grateful to the IHO for its diligence, and I look forward to introducing our nanomedicines to the galaxy.” | |||
=== Week in Review === | |||
Here are this week’s major stories. | |||
Disgraced politician Juanita Bishop has called for a forthcoming book about the Far God sect to be banned. In a statement, Bishop described the book’s authors as alien sympathisers, and accused them of creating pro-Thargoid propaganda. Gethin Okonkwo, one of the book’s writers, suggested that Bishop’s desire to halt publication was an attempt to prevent a criminal investigation into her own activities. | |||
A range of new asteroid-mining equipment is expected to trigger an increase in the availability of ores and minerals. A spokesperson for the Industrial Mining Guild said the new tools would prompt a surge in private mining activity. | |||

In support of the event, the Cemiess Imperial Society has placed an open order for various commodities. | |||
