*The [[Federal Diplomatic Corps]] has officially denounced [[Zachary Hudson|President Hudson's]] attempt to capture [[Yuri Grom]] in the [[Delta Pavonis]] system. The political conference was to determine whether the system's ruling faction would ally with the [[EG Pilots|EG Union]] or the [[Federation]]. It was abandoned when a Federal black ops team attempted to arrest Yuri Grom's delegation, triggering a conflict in the system. [[Ambassador]] Delphine Dumont told The [[Federal Times]]: "We have no option but to state that our own government has violated the conventions of diplomatic immunity. This conference was established in good faith with all parties. We were not informed that any hostile act against EG Union was planned. I offer my personal apologies to Yuri Grom. Our negotiations were spirited but honest, and I genuinely felt that progress was being made." This is the first time that the Federal Diplomatic Corps has distanced itself from the actions of a sitting president. Political observers believe that this is to maintain its reputation for integrity, especially in dealings with the [[Alliance]] and [[Empire]]. Public reaction in the Federation has been varied, with President Zachary Hudson being praised and criticised in equal measure. Insiders within his administration suggest that he is under enormous pressure to regain popularity, following the [[Federal Rebellion of 3307|recent rebellion]] of several Federal systems.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/615aec709ec24f4f7d51a8eb GalNet: Ambassador Condemns Entrapment of Yuri Grom]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Delta Pavonis]] political conference has erupted into conflict between [[EG Pilots|EG Union]] and Delta Pavonis Galactic Interstellar. [[Yuri Grom]], the ruler of EG Union, broadcast this message: "This conference was nothing more than a trap! My delegation was apprehended at gunpoint by a squad of undercover [[Federal Intelligence Agency|Federal agents]]. Sacrifices made by my loyal guards enabled us to escape from Kessler City, only to find our ships under attack. The [[Federation]] has declared war – I will respond in kind!" [[President of the Federation|President]] [[Zachary Hudson]] gave an official statement: "Yuri Grom is a traitor and a dangerous threat to Federal security. We cannot ignore any opportunity to eliminate this ruthless tyrant." Delta Pavonis Galactic Interstellar has asked for Federal auxiliaries to provide combat support to its forces. In return, the EG Union called for help from "allies of Yuri Grom and enemies of the Federation". Grand Duke [[Simion Petrescu]], the host of the political conference, has rejected claims that his faction was secretly working with the Federation to entrap Yuri Grom. The [[Federal Diplomatic Corps]] has not yet commented on its role in these events.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6155b717ad7f731bc054e57d GalNet: Yuri Grom Targeted by Federal Strike]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Delta Pavonis]] political conference has erupted into conflict between [[EG Pilots|EG Union]] and Delta Pavonis Galactic Interstellar.
