Political event
The trusted royal agents of the New Moon Cooperative round up and arrest the noble families in a coordinated military action.
Operation Noble Sweep kicked off in the New Moon Cooperative, where 95% of the existing noble houses and their related offices of authority were swept and arrested in a coordinated and largely bloodless operation. Airwaves were kept silent by Captain Verethragna and Iracus Varanu, an attempted ambush and escape by air was thwarted by the expert drone operator Dr. Newman, and more kinetic military actions were taken by ace pilot Henri Drukya who sunk a yacht attempting to escape into the bay where it could have submerged and vanished. Maxwell Buchanan also stormed a nightclub where many were known to indulge their less upstanding urges. It is expected that trials and a wave of punishment will be ongoing for some time over the coming months as the political order there is reformed. A related shooting death at Harsh Words is being reviewed by a high court, and at this time the role of Maxwell Buchanan in that incident is being reviewed. It is not clear if action will be taken and most NMC legal authorities are expecting a royal pardon in light of his service.
