Galnet Update 21st DEC 3306 - Terrorism Respite as Marlinists Prepare for New Homes

As independent colonies are set up for Marlinist refugees, there has been a lull in terrorist strikes from the Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army (NMLA).

In recent months, the paramilitary group launched multiple attacks across the Empire. Starports and administrative buildings were bombed and dozens of individuals assassinated, including Prince Harold and more distant members of the Duval family.

However, the number of incidents has fallen drastically following successful operations by the Imperial Internal Security Service:

“After the Federal Security Service identified NMLA members aboard the emigrants’ megaships, these were transferred to us for interrogation. We obtained information that enabled us to shut down many terrorist cells, although there is evidence that the NMLA’s network remains widespread.”

In related news, hundreds of thousands of Marlinist refugees are preparing to occupy new colony systems established by the Sirius Corporation. Mass transportation will take place early next year, overseen by Safeguard Interstellar. The Empire, Federation and Sirius Gov have all agreed that the settlements will remain fully independent.

The refugee population has already begun to determine its future social structure, based on the principles of Marlinism. A transitional parliament has been formed by community leaders such as Dr Jenna Fairfax, Aaron Whyte and Amrita Ross. Democratic elections for a representative government will take place once the Marlinist Colonies are operational.

 
Hmmm...lull you say? This should really be:

I just sent you your Christmas presents you inner bubble pigs...

Keep an eye on that Aaron Whyte dude. He's the one with the "none of us wanted to set up our own kingdoms – only to remove the kings. And one day, we will." statement.
 
Good to see that the IISS is finally getting a grip on those terrorists hiding inside the Empire, especially since the Fednecks finally seem to recognize the threat they pose... now we only need to find a way to get rid of those hiding outside Imperial space.

ooc:

I would not be surprised if what remains of the NMLA would retreat into Marlinist space, regroup and then start their terror campaign agaist the Empire from there, resulting in yet another hot-headed reaction by Patreus... :unsure:

Surely that would be legitimate war, not terrorism. Like the Empire's recent invasion of Akwada. ;)
