*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Rival candidates have requested deliveries of data to help secure their bids to lead the [[Marlinist Consulate]]. The [[Marlinist Colonies]] are voting for who will be elected as their prime consul. This influential role will diplomatically represent all Marlinists and make broad decisions on their behalf. The first candidate is Verity Dexter from the Marlinism Reformation Party, which is acting as the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] political wing. She has the support of [[Senator]] [[Lorcan Scordato]] to be made an [[Empire|Imperial]] [[patron]]: "I am in a unique position to finally provide our people with a voice in the [[Imperial Senate]], and to speak for Neo-Marlinists. As prime consul, I will negotiate a permanent peace with the NMLA." The second candidate, [[Kayode Tau]] of the Free Marlinist Movement, is focused on sustaining the Marlinist Colonies: "Neo-Marlinism and terrorism have no place within our republican ideals. I will strive to keep our systems [[independent]], and to protect the rights of peaceful Marlinists everywhere." In order to help secure their campaigns, both candidates have requested deliveries of [[Anomalous Bulk Scan Data|anomalous bulk scan data]] and [[Unusual Encrypted Files|unusual encrypted files]]. Shipments for Verity Dexter should be delivered to Stillman Hub in the [[HIP 22550]] system, while those for Kayode Tau are expected at Tilman Point in the Hyades Sector RO-P b6-2 system. The [[Alliance]], Empire and [[Federation]] have recognised the Marlinist Consulate as an ambassadorial body, and agreed that the election of its prime consul is a strictly internal matter.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60f03eea1d5d674e8d355a6f GalNet: Data Required for Marlinist Election]</ref> | |||

*The [[Marlinist Consulate]], established to represent [[Marlin Duval|Marlinists]] across the galaxy, has triggered political instability among the colonies. Local [[News Feed|newsfeed]] The [[Marlin Standard]] detailed the situation: "The formation of the Marlinist Consulate will shortly conclude with the public election of its leader. The prime consul will serve as the official Marlinist representative to the superpowers, establish foreign embassies and make wide-reaching diplomatic decisions. One of the two leading candidates is Verity Dexter from the Marlinism Reformation Party, who promises to speak for the Neo-Marlinist fringe. The Free Marlinist Movement's candidate, [[Kayode Tau]], directly opposes that position. [[Senator]] [[Lorcan Scordato]] has championed Dexter's bid, proposing that she be recognised as an [[Empire|Imperial]] [[patron]] to represent pro-Marlinist citizens of the Empire. Despite many protests, [[Chancellor]] [[Anders Blaine|Blaine]] concurred that patronage is within the purview of individual senators. Some Marlinists see this as a chance to finally obtain influence in the [[Imperial Senate|Senate]], after centuries of being marginalised. Others are enraged at Neo-Marlinists gaining legitimacy and acting as the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] political wing. The rift has affected parliament, where First Minister [[Jenna Fairfax|Fairfax]] again urged Minister [[Aaron Whyte]] to cease representing the NMLA and hand over all information to [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]]. Whyte retorted that his diplomatic breakthroughs would soon make the counter-terrorism unit redundant."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60ed9d529a256230297051ea GalNet: Marlinist Colonies Face Political Division]</ref> | *The [[Marlinist Consulate]], established to represent [[Marlin Duval|Marlinists]] across the galaxy, has triggered political instability among the colonies.
