Lords of Restoration

From Elite Dangerous Wiki
Revision as of 10:19, 7 February 2022 by Fandom>Clockpuncher

The Lords of Restoration are a secret cabal of Imperial political and military figures. The group's existence was uncovered by the Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit in February 3308 after the Omega Grid communication network was cracked and independent pilots decrypted correspondence from the network's beacons. It is believed that the Lords of Restoration provided extensive support to the Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army, including access to Omega Grid software and training from Darkwater Inc, from the shadows in an effort to eliminate the Imperial Family. In addition, they took Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval captive at some point in 3307. Currently, ACT is investigating the full extent of the Lords' conspiracy.

this is torquatus.
abandon work on establishing a new nmla figurehead.
no existing candidates have sufficient support to replace theta seven.
his martyrdom was expected but has unfortunately happened ahead of schedule.
for now concentrate on avoiding detection.
there will be other chances to remove the remaining duvals.

ursula its alberto again. you have to help me.
ive left capitol with my family to avoid iiss questioning.
what if that landau woman really can crack our omega grid? karl promised me that was impossible.
you know ive always been loyal to you and the other lords but i never dreamt our work could expose me personally.
do something.

colonel brock reporting to senator nerva.
weve had to disband the remaining training camps.
my soldiers caught and executed several act agents among the latest intake.
if you want us to continue working for the lords of restoration we must renegotiate our agreement.
the current situation is not sustainable.

4/4 Omega Grid 4

this is torquatus.
colonel brock our agents within imperial intelligence have warned us that act is making progress on accessing our network.
you are ordered to transfer cryogenic pod e-16 from the summerland complex to an alternate system as soon as possible.
this must be our top priority.
if we lose arissa the project is finished.

1/4 Message from ACT - Beacon 1
Commander, this is Captain Landau.

The deciphered message from the HIP 290 system revealed the name 'Torquatus', who we believe to be Senator Ursula Torquatus. This is a revelation, since she has avoided all suspicion until now. The fact that she openly identified herself proves that she believed the Omega Grid was totally secure.

Now that our detection strategy is confirmed, we have triangulated signals from a second beacon somewhere in the Saffron system. I have provided another partial cipher key that should apply to its contents. Please continue helping us to track down the NMLA's benefactors.

Cipher key 2:

F = S
G = R
I = 3
J = P
K = N
O = 4
P = J
Q = H
R = G
U = 5
V = C
W = B
X = Z
Y = Y

2/4 ACT - Omega Grid Beacon 2

Commander,

Your contribution to ACT's work is proving to be invaluable.

The Omega Grid beacon you found in the Saffron system provided the names of two more senators: Alberto Gereon and Karl Nerva. They were working with Ursula Torquatus and others who refer to themselves as 'Lords'. How far does this conspiracy reach?

With the data recovered so far, we theorise that another Omega Grid beacon exists in the Maidjin system. I have provided another cipher key, but again it is incomplete. I have faith in your ability to overcome this.

Cipher key 3:

B = D
C/CH = F
D = G
E = 2
I = 2
J = L
K = M
M = P
O = 2
QU = R
R = S
T/TH = W
X = Z
Y = B
Z = C

3/4 ACT - Omega Grid Beacon 3

Commander,

The beacon you found in the Maidjin system has provided a huge piece of the puzzle!

Darkwater Inc is one of the largest private mercenary groups in the core systems. We now have evidence that it provided military training to NMLA terrorists. Darkwater's employers referred to themselves as the Lords of Restoration, but the significance of this name remains unclear.

Thanks to this and other breakthroughs, we have identified the Zhao Jin system as another likely location for an Omega Grid beacon. Our analysts had difficulty establishing the latest cipher key, so we are relying on your expertise to decipher whatever messages you may find.

Cipher key 4:

A = 4
D = H
E = 4
F = G
G = F
H = D
K = B
L = Z
N = X
S/SH = S
T/TH = R
U = 4
V = Q
W = P
Y = M

4/4 ACT - Omega Grid Beacon 4

Commander,

With your assistance, we have solved a year-long mystery: the whereabouts of Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval.

The message found in the Zhao Jin system confirms that the Lords of Restoration ordered Darkwater troops to abduct the Emperor and keep her captive. This implies that their agents within Imperial Intelligence have been falsifying her communications with the Senate ever since. Specialist operatives have now been dispatched to locate and recover Her Majesty.

On behalf of ACT, thank you for playing a vital part in this work.
