Citizens Show Support for Arissa

Support among the citizenry for Princess Arissa Lavigny-Duval has risen considerably since she led the charge to find the conspirators responsible for the attack on Emperor Hengist. Thousands have answered the call to join Lavigny's Legions, her unofficial supporters group.

Both Senators campaigned last week to win support from Patrons in the Vaka system, as well as along the Imperial border in the Ceti sector. While support for Patrues was strong to begin with, a number of key Patrons moved to support the Princess. Support amongst CMDRS, however, was much stronger for the Princess.

Results were similar along the frontier. Arissa's agents set up a base of operations in Kamocan, while Patreus's supporters attempted to sway the residents of Mandh to the Senator's side.

Rumours have surfaced that Patreus is concerned about the swing of support, and he is planning to strengthen his standing with CMDRS as well as the general population, though the form this will take is not yet clear. GalNet, 15.06.3301
