A former Neo-Marlinist megaship has been overrun by NMLA terrorists in the Hyades Sector RO-P b6-2 system.
The Steel Majesty was originally owned by the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid, one of the NMLAâs key allies. After their defeat, it ferried many of them to the Marlinist Colonies where they were granted asylum by Minister Aaron Whyte. His faction then made use of the megaship during the civil war in August.
Minister Jean-Christophe Lyon, the current leader of the Marlinism Reformation Party, gave a statement:
âDespite our efforts to arrest any remaining extremists within our faction, a surviving group has gained access to the megaship. Security feeds show they were joined by several teams of well-armed NMLA fighters.â
âThe Marlinist Constabulary evacuated around half of the Steel Majestyâs crew before the NMLA took operational control. Sadly, there is no way to free those still trapped onboard.â
The situation was addressed by ACTâs co-leader Captain Milo Castile:
âAccording to our intel, a majority of the NMLAâs surviving cells have gathered together for this operation. We believe they were assisted by not only Aaron Whyteâs loyalists, but also members of the megashipâs original crew from the Mudhrid system.â
âIt is possible that this Neo-Marlinist coalition was formed as a result of us closing in on Theta Seven. We have requested additional support from all security services.â
