In response to the continued attacks on the Medicae Order and civilians in Sereva, believed to be the work of the communist forces, the Imperial Senate has unanimously invoked Clause 24-A of the High Imperial Charter, placing complete control of the Senate and the legions under the control of Empress Hestia V until the crisis on the isle is resolved.  The Empress is expected to make her decision regarding the Serevan War within the next day.
