*The [[megaship]] Steel Majesty has travelled from Mudhrid to the [[HIP 22550]] system and been renamed as [[Fairfax Vision]]. The [[Wells-class Carrier|Wells-class carrier]] was originally owned by the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid and used as a base for the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA terrorist group]]. After a military defeat, the vessel's crew sought political asylum in the [[Marlinist Colonies]]. The Steel Majesty later became the hub for Minister [[Aaron Whyte]]'s followers during the Marlinist Civil War. More recently, NMLA activists retook the ship and unsuccessfully tried to rescue their leader [[Theta Seven]]. The [[Marlin Standard]] published this statement from First Minister Octavia Volkov: "I am delighted that the [[Marlinist Consulate]] has negotiated with the Epsilon Fornacis Empire Group to arrange for this megaship to be returned to us. We are renaming it in honour of my predecessor Dr [[Jenna Fairfax]], who led millions to safety after our mass exodus from the [[Empire]]. The Fairfax Vision is now controlled by the Free Marlinists of Carinae faction, but will represent the colonies' parliamentary and diplomatic interests abroad. I hope that true Marlinism, and our progressive republican society, can now flourish peacefully."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61bb36877d40e15b107ccda2 GalNet: NMLA Megaship Becomes Marlinist Flagship]</ref>
10 SEP 3307
*A day of mourning has been declared across the [[Empire]] to mark the first anniversary of the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] Imperial [[starport]] bombings. On Thursday the 10th of September 3306, Imperial stations in the [[Cemiess]], Gabjaujis, LHS 4031 and Rabh systems were attacked without warning. Over sixty thousand people were killed and twice as many wounded by powerful explosives that delivered a caustic enzyme payload. The Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army is an extremist paramilitary group that is dedicated to reforming [[Marlin Duval]]'s original republican government. Prior to these bombings, it had only performed minor strikes with low casualties. The NMLA's terror campaign grew to encompass all three superpowers with the [[Nine Martyrs]] attacks in March 3307. It also led to supporters of Marlinism fleeing from the Empire as [[Marlinist refugee crisis|refugees]], eventually resettling in the [[Marlinist Colonies]]. Princess [[Aisling Duval]] paid respects to the victims during a memorial ceremony at her palace on [[Emerald]]. She also spoke of her father Prince [[Harold Duval]], who was assassinated by the NMLA shortly after the bombings. Messages of condolence have been sent by President [[Zachary Hudson]], Prime Minister [[Edmund Mahon]], Imperator [[Hadrian Augustus Duval]] and First Minister Octavia Volkov. All vowed to continue contributing resources to [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]], which recently shut down many terrorist cells. Coupled with the loss of its political wing, the NMLA threat may finally be diminishing.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/613b480ef1252a02e77f6ef3 GalNet: Empire Marks Anniversary of NMLA Attacks]</ref>
