[Paradise] - The Usurpation of Sir Kent Malroye

The Usurpation of Sir Kent Malroye.

----------------------------------

From the posting of this Document the Usurpation of Sir Kent Malroye was a several-month long affair that ended Three Months prior to [9/29/XX]. It began with allegations of Blackmarket Dealings with an as-of-yet undisclosed Party, as well as the trafficking and sale of both Human and Trollian Persons and Technologies.

Investigations began below the Public’s Radar, and what was uncovered in those investigations managed to find its way into Trollian Legislacerative Hands despite the imposed Media Blackout on the issue. Trollian smear campaigns for the Leader of The Crusade began, with public accusations of his ongoings creating waves in both his supporters and his opposers, with Protests and Marches to block the gateways of The Crusade Capitol to prevent Sir Kent from fleeing. The Imperial Fleet issued a ‘Shootdown’ Order on any Aerospacecraft leaving The Crusade Capitol, nearly compromising the Peace Treaties of Paradise.

Things were gummed up on the Legal Front, with little action being done anywhere the Public could see. Mass Exoduses of Desertion from The Crusade were common during these tumultuous Months, with over 43% of Crusaders stepping down from their posts in a refusal to support their corrupt One Royal King. ORK Loyalists began to weaponize themselves against protesters, though no Lives were lost to this endeavor.

Eventually, civil unrest rose to such a point as for Her Imperious Condescension to issue a Public Warning: If Sir Kent Malroye did not step down and turn himself into the Imperial Fleet’s Custody, HIC would issue a Direct Order to storm The Crusade Capitol and take him by force. Sir Kent had three weeks to comply. No response was given.

More details on his alleged crimes began to mount, exposing his Black Market Trading of Pseudopsionic Blueprints and the sale of powerful Psionic Grubs to be used as weapons for the Undisclosed Party. Eventually, even his Loyal Cabinet would begin to step down from their positions as not to get caught in the Crossfire, though this ‘abandonment’ was seen in ill light by the majority of the public.

During those Three Weeks, Trollian Fleet forces were seen to be Mobile, patrolling the border of the Imperial Towers’ grounds, performing routine Starfighter formations and simulated dog-fights above Paradise itself, and carrying out Squad Drills in the public yards of Tower grounds. Protests began against the Fleet as well as the Crusade, causing upset on both parts.

Shortly before the end of the final week, two important pieces of News broke. First would be the exposing of Sir Kent Malroye’s post-war Kill Count for Trollian Peoples, something that had been intentionally obfuscated by his Cabinet but was now being revealed by the very same people who once held the Secret in exchange for a lessening or absolving of their legal charges. This first News Report caused the first and only Violent Riot of the Paradisian Public, in which several dozen Crusade Vehicles were destroyed, an estimated 40 people (both Human and Trollian) lost their lives, and massive property Damages were carried out before Trollian Forces were able to subdue the crowd entirely.

The second piece of News would follow the next day, a public announcement from Ntg Lena Ortisze that Sir Kent Malroye was in-custody and that she would personally be delivering him to the Imperial Tower to face his punishment. In this announcement, Ntg Lena also proclaimed her Usurping of Sir Kent’s ORK Title, and the beginning of her Reign as The One Royal Queen, Nightengale Lena Ortisze of The Human Crusade.

Later that same day, a Caravan Transport route was established, with Trollian Fleet creating a ‘boundary’ along the streets to prevent citizens or vigilantes from getting close enough to attack the armored vehicle. Sir Kent Malroye was taken by ORQNtg Lena to The Imperial Tower, where he was handed over directly to a waiting Jury of Legislacerators and Her Imperious Condescension herself. A private meeting was held following this exchange between ORQNtg Lena and HIC, the details of which were not made public.

While there has been no Official Statement on the status of Sir Kent Malroye, he has been updated within the Crusade Public Records as officially ‘Deceased’.

His Cabinet awaits trial for their obstruction of information and justice.
