Galnet News Update, 14th September 3306.

Mad Prince Harold, the man deemed so dissolute that he was passed over for the Imperial throne,

has been gunned down by terrorists, according to eyewitnesses.

Prince Harold was believed to have been visiting his daughter, Princess Aisling Duval on Emerald.

According to a reporter working for Vox Galactica, it appears that Prince Harold was shot at

close range by a single assassin, who had somehow gained access to Harolds ship.

It is believed that both Harold and his assailant died at the scene of gunshot wounds.

The Imperial Internal Security Service has imposed a security lockdown, and there has

been no statement from anyone in authority. However, the NMLA, the republican terrorist

organisation that is believed to be behind the attacks on four Imperial stations last

week, has also claimed responsibility for this latest atrocity. The group appears to

regard all Duvals, whether in power or living quietly behind the scenes, as parasites, and

is demanding the revolutionary overthrow of the Empire.
