*Survivors from the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid have arrived in the [[Marlinist Colonies]], requesting political asylum from the [[Empire]]. The faction was recently defeated by Imperial forces in the Mudhrid system, after an [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] investigation confirmed that it provided logistical support for the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] [[Nine Martyrs|attacks on starports]]. [[Arastin Delacroix|Landgrave Delacroix]] and his loyalists fled aboard the Steel Majesty [[megaship]] to the Hyades Sector RO-P b6-2 system, which is controlled by the Marlinism Reformation Party. Minister [[Aaron Whyte]], its elected leader, announced: "Not every individual within the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid is an NMLA activist. We have the right to offer asylum to protect innocents from persecution, just as the [[Federation]] protected us when we were refugees." The Empire has officially demanded that the Neo-Marlinists be apprehended, with [[Denton Patreus|Senator Patreus]] claiming "The Landgrave of Mudhrid is a traitor and a war criminal." Both the [[Alliance]] and Federation have likewise insisted on their arrest. However, [[Felicia Winters|Shadow President Winters]] reminded [[Federal Congress|Congress]] that the Marlinist Charter grants their systems the same legal powers of asylum as the Federation. The Marlinist Parliament has declared an emergency situation. [[Jenna Fairfax|First Minister Fairfax]] called for a discussion of options, while Ministers Amrita Ross and [[Tamsin Taylor]] urged cooperation with the Empire.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60797af1a95948443016ee4a GalNet: Neo-Marlinists Seek Sanctuary at Marlinist Colonies]</ref> | |||

*[[Senator]] [[Lorcan Scordato]] has visited the [[Marlinist Colonies]] on a fact-finding mission as part of the [[Empire]]'s anti-terrorism operations. The [[Imperial Herald]] was permitted to publish this summary of his preliminary report: "Considering their recent refugee status, the Marlinist communities are remarkably well-organised. Their government works along republican lines but they have not abandoned Imperial culture, with many feeling homesick for their original worlds. However, their situation remains precarious, with three of their eight systems now under the control of external factions. Without increased support from the galactic community, further losses may be unavoidable. Regarding the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]], there is widespread anger that they have made all Marlinists look like monsters. Only rarely did I sense guarded approval, with the vast majority openly condemning the terrorists. The Marlinist Parliament is small but efficient, containing a spectrum of viewpoints. [[Jenna Fairfax|First Minister Fairfax]] is focused on cohesion and survival, Amrita Ross discussed future reintegration with the Empire, while [[Aaron Whyte]] sees Neo-Marlinism as a valid political movement if violence can be avoided. Months ago these were ordinary Imperial citizens, and our shared history still binds us. Generally, I feel that the Marlinist Colonies are closer to allies than enemies in our war against the NMLA."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/607040427978ca3e6a533253 GalNet: Imperial Senator Visits Marlinist Colonies]</ref> | *[[Senator]] [[Lorcan Scordato]] has visited the [[Marlinist Colonies]] on a fact-finding mission as part of the [[Empire]]'s anti-terrorism operations.
