Duke Carmel Marik (self claimed rightful heir to the Marik claim) has been embroiled in a string of recent embezzlement of public and military funds allegations by Free Capellan News BroadCasting Corporation (FCNBC). Duke Marik claims that these are fraudulent claims made by members of ROM masquerading as independent reporters attached to FCNBC border conflict unit, he claims this smear campaign is to weaken his claim for the Captain-Generalship. Using his SAFE contacts stationed in Prefecture XI, Duke Carmel has tracked the news reporters to the Klaar system.
Duke Carmel has used his agents to source and hire anti Republic forces to raid the Klaar system and provide opportunities for his undercover SAFE agents to locate and acquire the defamatory reports and suppress those who would besmirch his honour.
ROM agents planted in Duke Carmel’s court have heard whispers of the Duke’s plans and currently rush to organise a jump circuit that will get them back to Dranatania and rally the planetary militia in preparation for invasion.
If news of the Duke’s failure to responsibly manage his funds makes it to Terra it can be used to destable the Marik border and allow for a more COMSTAR sympathetic government to be installed to manage fiefdom.
