       Recap of the Civil War

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The Civil War began when a group of senators from the
       Imperialist Party rebelled against the edict called the Military
       Budget Act, seeing it as a sign of capitulation to the many
       foreign powers who had in the past defeated Trekylon and imposed
       harsh treaties. After months of building Trekylon back to a
       semblance of what it was before the Exile, the Military Budget
       Act was the final straw for many who saw in their relocation to
       Galaxy 23-A (Bode's) a chance to build up sufficient military
       strength to challenge the Barlat Concordiat and reclaim their
       territories in the Milky Way...and possibly achieve the dream
       long held since the Old Guard coalition had driven them from
       Earth of returning in force. Vergusson led the group of rebels
       into a full-scale uprising against the government of His
       Imperial Majesty Drake I, leading to civil war. Despite active
       counteroperations by foreign powers such as Ish'Cong and America
       (which only further stoked the anti-foreign agitations of the
       rebels), the rebels managed to escape Gaia and organize. In the
       opening days of the civil war, it was mainly ex-senators and
       military veterans injured in the recent wars who led and indeed
       fought in the ranks of the opposition. Among the ex-veterans who
       rose to prominence was the maimed ex-soldier Aldon Tate, who
       soon became Vergusson's right-hand man in the rebel hierarchy.
       The first round was fired by the rebels when a Tibanna gas
       orbital refinery in the Nihal system was destroyed by a bomb
       detonated by a group calling themselves The Fist. The rebels
       quickly aligned themselves with The Fist, and at the same time
       gained the necessary explosives knowledge when they would later
       hold the Imperial-loyal planet of Hellonde hostage using buried
       fusion bombs. Immediately after the Nihal Incident, rebels
       seized control of Caledonia II by assassinating the Imperial
       governor and declaring Caledonia to be a part of their group,
       soon to be named the Federal Republic of Trekylon. It was then
       that the rebels published a manifesto calling for all patriotic
       citizens of the empire to throw off the rule of the Imperial
       government and call for the abdication of Drake I and removal of
       all foreign influence from within the boundaries of the empire.
       They went on to proclaim that the ultimate aim of the new
       republican government would be revanchism against those nations
       which had for years attacked Trekylon without mercy, driving
       them from Earth and later from the Milky Way. Drake I countered
       this manifesto with a proclamation calling for loyalist groups
       to help take back the systems seized by the rebels, with
       promises of vast, sweeping reforms. He also sought foreign help
       in maintaining the trade-lanes and in auxiliary support for the
       Imperial forces that would assist the Loyalist militias in their
       guerrilla warfare against the rebel occupiers. It was as a
       result of this that the Loyalists received weapons and money
       from the Cherokee, Namekians (allies of Inuyashia) and Klingons
       (Founder race of Trekylon), and an Imperial-Kiran expeditionary
       force aided in recovering Caledonia II for the empire. Hellonde
       was relieved when an American armada, working in collaboration
       with an Imperial fleet and an unorthodox officer named Modigh
       Tohopka, removed the buried fusion bombs, detonating them on a
       red-giant star (which caused no appreciable effects to the
       star). Azuria had, during that time, been in the process of
       revealing their rebel sympathizers and imprisoning them (despite
       the arrival of a Xie fleet, which forced Drake I to call upon
       Inuyashia to send a fleet to watch the Xie, and issue a
       Memorandum outlining the boundaries of foreign assistance and
       making clear the consequences of any foreign attempt to use the
       rebel actions as a casus belli to seize parts of the empire.)
       Rebel agents working with a rogue Section 31 agent named Harris
       provided the rebels with the next great leap, with the secrets
       of biological and chemical agents and advanced starship designs.
       The rebels put this to especially use when they began a major
       shipbuilding operation in an unexplored asteroid belt outside
       Imperial space (and so far undetectable, thanks to a shrouding
       technology obtained from Section 31).  They implemented this
       with the theft from an orbital yard of a fleet from the former
       Republic of New Texahoma. The current rebel operations are
       directed against New Columbia, New Oberon, Ateara V, and
       Taborica. Rebel ships are also approaching the Bespia and Olias
       systems.
