GALNET - 12 MAR 3307 - Starport Bombing Casualties Include Federal Vice President

Vice President Brad Mitchell and a number of Federal Cabinet members have been killed in the recent terrorist attack on a starport orbiting Earth.

The NMLA planted caustic enzyme explosives at Li Qing Jao station, where a government meeting was taking place. The VP and Cabinet members were confirmed to be among tens of thousands of casualties. Eight other starports across all three superpowers were simultaneously bombed.

President Zachary Hudson, who was attending the Galactic Summit during the attack, made this statement:

“This atrocity is nothing less than a declaration of war, and we will respond accordingly. For now, we mourn the loss of my close friend Brad Mitchell and other heroes of the Federation. I will personally appoint replacements to their positions soon.”

The Federation has directly accused the Empire of being responsible, by allowing Neo-Marlinist bomb-makers to escape from a secret prison facility. The Imperial Senate reiterated that ‘Serene Harbour’ does not exist and is part of a Federal disinformation campaign.

Followers of Marlinism have also received much public criticism. The Marlinist Colonies have repeatedly stressed that they do not support the NMLA and are unconnected to the attacks.

Independent pilots have been asked to assist rescue and repair operations in the Achenar, Alioth, Eotienses, Gateway, Kamadhenu, Lave, Nanomam, Rhea and Sol systems.

I said in the CG prediction thread already, but it's worth repeating:

Suuuuure, Hudson, blame us... we tried to shut down the NMLA's bomb making facility in LTT 1935, you and your fellow Fednecks were the ones stopping us from doing so. So blame yourselves :cautious:
 
Are we going to see Eddeh and the Prez team up buddy cop style and deal with T7?

Vice President Brad Mitchell
Who? Am I supposed to know who this is?

Good to see that 1300 years in the future humans are just as stupid as today and cannot distinguish between people who follow a cause and extremists who dont represent that cause and just lump them all together with a 'Be afraid' tag.

What a coincidence that a top level govt meeting was going on at the exact time of the bombs. Real lucky these 'terrorists'.

Real lucky they knew of a Fed govt meeting and real lucky they knew the codes to get out of an Imp prison from the inside with no way to actually use the codes from inside the cell. Real lucky the support ship sent by the Imps was full of terrorists and nobody noticed until too late....

The supply ship also had codes for the imaginary prison that shut everything down.
 
Did NMLA terrorists make a call with the agreed 'code word' to confirm it was their action, or is this yet another assumption?
Not that I have an issue with this, a war between Feds & Imps will certainly be guaranteeing healthy profits to be made...

The working assumption atm is that it is 'verified' or at least supposed to be taken at face value by us as as we have no info or suggestion that it isnt, even though it isnt specified (probably not thought about by the author). Theres no alternative narrative from the 3 SP newspapers which could introduce doubt so....I call it narrative licence until I get info that suggests there may be more to it.

Brad - I've only been playing 18 months, and never registered the name before. Maybe long term players have some history that newer players might need in-game before they start plot points around them. Especially as so many are looking like being killed off with some apparent meaning.

Why dont we all just gang up and wipe out the Duvals? Would make the Galaxy safer and better for humanity and might stop Theta 7, I mean he does have a point.
