14 Jan 2024Salus News Network
Arch-Duchess Magdalena von Salus has welcomed Senator Zemina Torval’s return to the Senate, cited as saying:Having the esteemed Senator back is more than welcome. Her years of experience, and unfaltering political will in service of the Empire are an anchor of stability in these trying and tumultuous times. House Salus and the Torval Dynasty have been long standing allies within the Empire, and we are looking forward to cooperating again on social, and security concerns affecting the Empire.
Ever since the first Imperial citizens were rescued from the Titans, the Arch-Duchess and House Salus have been trying to push the Senate to allow those rescued to return to their homes. Especially since the liberation of Modigi - the first Imperial system that fell to the Thargoid onslaught - many of those rescued expressed their wish to return to their homes to start rebuilding.
Cliens Jacques Mones, the Aegis representative of House Salus to Aegis, agrees with the sentiment that those rescued do not pose any threat:
Aegis, along with other superpowers, have done extensive medical examinations on those rescued from the Thargoid pods, and found no remaining contamination or lasting medical complications that would hinder their return to society.
Governor Danial Shields even went further, offering the Imperial citizens currently in quarantine a place to stay:
Out here in the frontier, we have a lot of space for Imperial citizens to build their own home, and form their own communities. If the Imperial senate does not wish to release those in quarantine into the wider Imperium, why not allow them to settle one of the many colonisation projects on the outskirts of our Empire?
Hekate Rilke of Salus Invicta - the Pilot’s Federation naval arm of House Salus - was not available for comment on this issue. The leadership of Salus Invicta is currently taking part in a science convention hosted by the Nova Technocratic Scientific Assembly discussing possible scientific theories on what happened to the people who where abducted by the Thargoids.
