[Polignac]

Per the House Marik Handbook (35019):

"Designated a terrorist group in 3056, the Fifth of November Compact (named for an abortive anti-government attack in 1605) takes as it objective the removal of Parliament's authority and the establishment of a strong central government for the Free Worlds. Established in 2895, the society was tolerated as a loyalist group for many decades and in recent years its members have supported the Captain-General's centralization of power, though Thomas Marik regards this group as the type of ally one can do without. Parliament and regional governments are the Compact's prey, though political whispering campaigns and occasional terror attacks (letter bombs and attempted assasination's are the group's main weapons). The emergence of the Compact's militant arm prompted federal authorities to declare the order illegal and arrest many of its known members, though SAFE now believes that in doing so it removed the organization's moderates and pushed the remainder to more radical action."

Who knew? A little old-school, neo-Jacobean terrorism haunts the Worlds today!
