GALNET - 21 MAY 3307 - Hadrian Duval Allegations Declared ‘Inconclusive’

Evidence that Imperator Hadrian Augustus Duval masterminded the NMLA terror campaign cannot be authenticated, according to ACT.

Inspector Mara Klatt, one of ACT’s joint leaders, delivered this report:

“We have rigorously analysed data provided by the Landgrave of Mudhrid that contains detailed instructions from Hadrian Duval. The content undoubtedly arranges the starport bombings, but its source is inconclusive. It now seems highly plausible that his identity was faked by the NMLA.”

Hadrian Duval made an announcement via the Paresa News Network:

“There can no longer be any doubt that the NMLA planted a false trail in order to incriminate us. They aim to slay every Duval and demolish Imperial traditions, a goal that the Federation is clearly happy to support.”

“Lady Astrid and I are deeply grateful to the Nova Navy, and all the other pilots who helped to defend our honour.”

The Federal Diplomatic Corps confirmed that the League of Mandu, which was defeated by Nova Imperium, will withdraw from the Paresa system but made no reference to ACT’s report.

Praetor Leo Magnus, head of security for Nova Imperium and a former IISS officer, has been seconded to ACT. He will serve as a replacement for the deceased Captain Niamh Seutonia.

News of the day, completing the Imperial victory in Paresa nicely...

...and of course the Fednecks refuse to comment. They would never openly admit to having been wrong.

Well, I was hoping that a Nova victory in the CG would allow Magnus to complete his investigation, but this was unexpected for me. Looks like the time is drawing near for the reveal.

With a shoot first and ask later policy, you usually don't have anyone left to apologize to. This must be a rather new situation for them.

What an absolutely astounding turn of events.

I kinda doubt that the Empire will let this unwarrented act of aggression slide so easily. Once the more pressing issues have been taken care of (read: NMLA and the renewed Thargoid threat) I'm pretty sure both the Emperor and the Senate will respond to this somehow.

Calling it now, this guy is NMLA. What better way to take care of the boss and rise to the top in his place by pinning the blame of him. Obviously, that didn't go as planned, but now he's in just as good a position in ACT to be able to cause some havoc.....

I mean, they didn't care about the truth. All they cared about was an opportunity to hit Imperial space without starting a war.

So technically speaking, they were not wrong, just opportunistic.

What an absolutely astounding turn of events.

I know right, it's so unexpected. It's like, wow, mind blown.

Alright, Im betting 50 Tritium that this Leo Magnus guy impersonated Hadrian and is now inside ACT as a way to further NMLA goals by screwing over the investigation from the inside. Clearly we need more Feds to watch what these radical imperial nutcases are up to.

EDIT: Also, he's former IISS so he probably knows about Serene Harbor. Im onto something here I think

 

[Rainbro]

Serene Harbor is Imperial Intelligence, not IISS. I don't think it makes much sense for this all to be some plot to infiltrate ACT. Why not impersonate some other Duval? Attacking your own allies in order to risk your own destruction at the hands of the Federation? There's no reason to do that for him.

Hadrian hasn't been proved innocent, and he did have a motive: discredit the Marlinist cause and get them ejected from the Empire with false-flag terrorist attacks, while also hitting Feds and Alliance (and ALD).

And now he has an agent in ACT.

The fact he is a Duval, literally the thing NMLA want to destroy, is not mentioned in what you said Also

It now seems highly plausible that his identity was faked by the NMLA.

Which wouldn't be a first (Liz Ryder, anyone ?).

Why assume they are telling the truth about their motives? I don't think they're Marlinists at all.

 

[Amata Lirein]

On a sidenote: I wonder what these revelations will mean for the Order of Mudhrid and the Landgrave?

I think they are. They just found a powerful backer for their stuff. It's most likely an alliance of convenience. The backer want the NMLA to do their thing, so he can do what he wants. And the NMLA have an opportunity to strike big.

On a sidenote: I wonder what these revelations will mean for the Order of Mudhrid and the Landgrave?

I honestly don't think anything will come of it. They did help the NMLA, manipulated or not. And they are a minor faction. The Empire can be associated with them, and nobody else will be sad to see them punished.
They are perfectly disposable.

fednecks ,AKA frontier screenwriters?


yeah,it seems that no one at frontier wants to acknowledge their mistakes.

EDIT: it looks like the apology appeared minutes before my comment, lol

You do remember that have have asked the Marlinist colonies for asylum which was granted on the basis that they reveal who their NMLA contacts were? Which is now revealed they have failed to do?

I kinda forgot^^

Technically speaking, they revealed all they knew. They thought it was the truth. So they help up their end of the bargain.

 

[CMDR Jayce MacLeod]

When in doubt, throw it out

 

[Yumasai]

How nice of them to mention us explicitly.
