The '''Sacrosanct''' is a Freedom-Class [[Survey Vessel]] [[megaship]] operated by the [[Far God cult]]. It was launched in the Panjabell system on August 5, 3307 with its two sister ships, the [[Perdition]] and the [[Testament]]. The Sacrosanct serves as a ritual vessel for the Far God cult, and follows a looping route that traverses the [[Core Systems]], the [[Pleiades Nebula]], and the [[California Nebula]].
On November 24, 3307, the terrorist [[Theta Seven]] of the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]] hijacked the Sacrosanct and diverted it to Mudhrid, where other Neo-Marlinist groups were gathering aboard the [[Steel Majesty]]. Theta Seven threatened to kill the Sacrosanct's cultists if authorities made any attempt to interfere with the vessel. The development confirmed the [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit]]'s theory that Theta Seven and his inner circle had been hiding on one of the three Far God cult vessels with a cache of the NMLA's signature enzyme bombs since early August 3307. The hostage situation continued into December 3307, even after the defeat of the NMLA's forces and the retaking of the Steel Majesty, but the Sacrosanct was unable to leave Mudhrid due to internal power failures that ACT believed were the result of sabotage committed by the cultists.

*Terrorist ringleader [[Theta Seven]] is defying capture by holding thousands of [[Far God cult|Far God cultists]] hostage in the Mudhrid system. [[Vox Galactica]] published an on-the-scene report from freelance journalist [[Redmond O'Hara]]: "Although the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] has been defeated in Mudhrid, the Theta Group bomb-makers remain in control of the Sacrosanct [[megaship]]. With so many lives at stake, [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] has focused all its efforts to resolve this tense situation. We've heard that [[Tanya Ramirez|Senior Agent Ramirez]] and [[Mara Klatt|Inspector Klatt]] have both tried to open negotiations directly with Theta Seven. It is hard to imagine what they might offer him in terms of clemency, but they're obviously determined to prevent further deaths at the NMLA's hands. After speaking to one of ACT's tactical advisors, I can reveal that [[Milo Castile|Captain Castile's]] commando unit tried and failed to board the Sacrosanct as it did the [[Steel Majesty]]. This is apparently because the vessel is specially modified to prevent external access, in order to provide the Far God cultists with a sanctified environment during their pilgrimage. Speaking of the cultists, they may not have accepted their predicament quite as passively as expected. Internal power failures detected within the Sacrosanct's [[hyperdrive]] systems may well be a result of sabotage, and would explain why it hasn't left the Mudhrid system. Perhaps in their own way, the [[Thargoid]]-worshippers are seeking justice for those murdered by Theta Seven's appropriation of their deity's 'holy' caustic enzymes."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61af800ed4083d23054b0374 GalNet: Standoff for ACT and Theta Seven]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>The Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid has been defeated by the Epsilon Fornacis Empire Group in the Mudhrid system. With the aid of many independent pilots, the [[Empire|Imperial]] faction outmatched the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]-supporting forces who were attempting to rescue their leader [[Theta Seven]]. Captain [[Saskia Landau]] provided an update from [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]]: "Using the fierce fighting as cover, Captain [[Milo Castile]] led a commando unit made up of specialists from [[Alliance]], [[Federation|Federal]] and Imperial security forces to gain access to the [[Steel Majesty]]. After freeing and arming the crewmembers that were being held hostage, they overpowered the NMLA troops and retook the [[megaship]]. We have successfully prevented Theta Seven and his followers from rejoining their fellow terrorists. But the [[Far God cult]]'s vessel, the Sacrosanct, is still in the system under his control. Until the man responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths has been captured, our victory over the NMLA remains incomplete." The Epsilon Fornacis Empire Group stated that those who supported its campaign can now receive their rewards from Payne-Scott City starport. The Imperial faction also agreed that independent pilots who fought for the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid will be permitted to collect payment from the Steel Majesty, which has been transferred to their ownership.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61a8b6928debb451f45185cf GalNet: Battle of Mudhrid Ends in NMLA Defeat]</ref>
