Recent PRISM Indigo reports indicate that a hostile organization has infiltrated the Academy and are using it as a terrorist training facility. Initial investigations suggest a link between this fringe fundamentalist group and the recent bombings on the Jeans 7 orbital station. As the most organized presence within the region, the High Church has authorized the Trilliant Ring to seize the academy and ensure the planet's continued security.
During this tumultuous time for Mona, the Trilliant Ring will be expanding the scope of its charitable activities. The Facets of Charity - the charitable arm of the Trilliant Ring - will continue its operations on the planet and maintain its Venture for the Advancement of MES Treatment. However, in addition to its normal activities, it will also be providing supplies, provisions, and infrastructure restoration to the populace of Mona as the Trilliant Ring establishes a provisional government.
Additionally, the Trilliant Ring will support the charitable efforts by establishing security forces on the planet's surface. These "Public Security Forces" (PSF) will maintain order as supplies are delivered to prevent theft, corruption, or subversive use of Trilliant property. Their larger mission will be to investigate, locate, and bring suspected fringe groups to the Empire's justice.
"In the interest of bringing the Holy Light of the Empire to billions of lost souls, Trilliant will be establishing a formal government in Pavvis. They will be educated of their responsibilities to the empire, and those exceptional few, gifted with the grace of the Trilliant Ring Lifestyle." - Andries Blanchet
