*The [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]], have agreed to close down the [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit]]. A joint statement from all three superpowers stated: "ACT's primary mission to locate and destroy the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]] has been successfully accomplished." ACT was formed in March 3307 following the [[Nine Martyrs]] attacks, when the NMLA simultaneously bombed multiple starports. The independent taskforce rapidly took the lead in investigating the terrorists, calling upon the resources of many agencies, specialists and freelance pilots. The co-leaders of ACT have now returned to their respective security services. Captain [[Saskia Landau]] was personally awarded the Achenar Service Cross by [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]], in recognition of her key role in identifying the [[Lords of Restoration]]. Landau has now accepted overall command of [[Imperial Intelligence]], reporting directly to the Emperor. Captain [[Milo Castile]], Inspector [[Mara Klatt]], Praetor [[Leo Magnus]] and Senior Agent [[Tanya Ramirez]] have all been similarly commended for their successes. The joint statement also paid tribute to those members who lost their lives in the fight against terrorism. ACT was formed under the [[Cornelius-Lasky Convention]], which was ratified at the [[Galactic Summit]]. The treaty requires governments to cooperate against large-scale threats to civilian populations, and is now commonly viewed as a historic achievement. Since it remains in force, ACT could be reformed in future if a similar threat to the NMLA arises.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6220d410b5b0806870678fa8 GalNet: ACT Disbanded Following Defeat of NMLA]</ref> | |||

*The [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] de facto leader and his closest followers have sacrificed themselves by destroying the [[Far God cult]]'s [[megaship]] [[Sacrosanct]]. The hijacked vessel had been taken to the Mudhrid system by the remaining members of Theta Group, aiming to reunite with the NMLA. After this failed, [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] forces surrounded the Sacrosanct in the hope of rescuing the several thousand cultists being kept as hostages. [[Theta Seven]] broadcast a short video message, where he uttered a single phrase: "The future will remember us." He was then seen to manually detonate a series of bombs, which ruptured the Sacrosanct's hull and split the vessel in two. It is believed that the weapons also distributed [[Thargoid]] caustic enzymes throughout the megaship, thereby killing its entire population. ACT has released a statement from co-leader Captain [[Saskia Landau]]: "Tragically we were unable to save the lives of the Far God worshippers, despite several attempts to negotiate their safe conduct off the ship. [[Milo Castile|Captain Castile's]] commando unit could not gain entry to the Sacrosanct in time, and we had no success trying to hack into its onboard computers. We can confirm that the most wanted terrorist in the galaxy is dead. But ACT's task is not yet complete, since there is much we still don't know about the NMLA. Our investigation will focus on learning more about their background, as well as targeting any surviving cells of activists."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61b22be2043a8c1f9e7ae20c GalNet: The Death of Theta Seven]</ref> | *The [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] de facto leader and his closest followers have sacrificed themselves by destroying the [[Far God cult]]'s [[megaship]] [[Sacrosanct]].
