Line 12:

'''Amrita Ross''' is a minister of the [[Marlinist Colonies]]. As with all Marlinists, she was a citizen of the [[Empire]] who advocated reforming it into a democracy in accordance with the republican ideals of [[Marlin Duval|Marlinism]]. In late 3306, she was [[Marlinist refugee crisis|forced to flee]] her home for [[Federation|Federal]] territory with millions of other Marlinists to escape persecution, and was recognized as a community leader among the refugees. After the founding of the Marlinist Colonies, Ross was elected as a minister in the new democratic government. Among her colleagues, Ross is seen as a strong supporter of reconciliation and reintegration with the Empire.

Following the death of First Minister [[Jenna Fairfax]] in the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]]'s bombings of two Marlinist starports on July 29, 3307, Minister Ross assumed the role of Acting First Minister. Ross proved less able as a mediator than her predecessor, as she was divided between her opposition to the NMLA and her desire to see a Marlinist presence in the [[Imperial Senate]], a goal which the NMLA would likely have achieved had their preferred candidate, [[Verity Dexter]], not lost to [[Kayode Tau]] in the election for prime consul of the [[Marlinist Consulate]], which was itself the event that had precipitated the NMLA's terror attack. Despite Ross's best efforts, she failed to prevent civil war from breaking out in the Marlinist Colonies when the ~~Exilied~~ Marlinist Assembly of Baltah'Sine, an anti-NMLA faction, declared war against the pro-NMLA Marlinism Reformation Party on August 12, 3307.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The conflict in the Hyades Sector RO-P b6-2 system has been won by the Exiled Marlinist Assembly of Baltah'Sine. Support from independent pilots played a key role in defeating the Marlinism Reformation Party. The faction's entire leadership has been arrested, with their replacements vowing to reshape it along politically moderate lines. Minister [[Octavia Volkov]] made a declaration of victory to the Marlinist Parliament: "The Neo-Marlinists have been crushed and [[Aaron Whyte]] is dead – a casualty of the war his terrorist paymasters began. I deeply regret that our society has suffered this, but have no regrets at destroying the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] political wing once and for all." Prime Consul [[Kayode Tau]] sent assurances to the [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]] that they should view this as "confirmation that the [[Marlinist Colonies]] are your steadfast allies in the fight against the NMLA". [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] has drafted in extra resources to investigate the Marlinism Reformation Party's ties to [[Theta Seven|Theta Group]], the terrorist bomb-makers responsible for last month's devastating starport attacks. With First Minister [[Jenna Fairfax]] confirmed as among the fatalities, Acting First Minister Amrita Ross has organised a snap election to democratically appoint a new leader for the Marlinist Colonies.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/611e56b48068c158041d773c GalNet: Anti-NMLA Forces Win Marlinist Civil War]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Conflict has erupted in the Hyades Sector RO-P b6-2 system between two factions of the [[Marlinist Colonies]]. The Exiled Marlinist Assembly of Baltah'Sine has declared war against the Marlinism Reformation Party, which acts as the political wing of the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]. Political relations degenerated into open combat following the NMLA's recent attacks, with Acting First Minister Amrita Ross's efforts to negotiate a peaceful resolution proving unsuccessful. A new [[megaship]], Freedom’s Voice, has entered service. It is acting as the operational base for the forces of the Exiled Marlinist Assembly of Baltah'Sine. Supporters of the Marlinism Reformation Party are gathering at the Steel Majesty megaship. This was formerly used by the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid to flee from their home system. Minister [[Octavia Volkov]] announced in parliament: "[[Aaron Whyte]] and his collaborators are directly responsible for tens of thousands of deaths. I will not rest until they are defeated and brought to justice." Minister Aaron Whyte sent this response from his private vessel: "Volkov's unlawful strike is a violation of our colonies' charter. We call upon all true Marlinists to defend us from this illegal act of aggression." The [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]] have informed the [[Marlinist Consulate]] that they consider this conflict to be a strictly internal matter.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6115283c4ae9245ab4489897 GalNet: Marlinist Civil War Declared]</ref>
