Rebels on the Xanthalian-claimed world Talmaraan VIII rebelled against the Empire yesterday, storming and overcoming the regional government headquarters. The rebels, led by a male elf named Ivellios Darrines, have declared Talmaraan VIII independant of the Empire. The regional Imperial garrison surrendered in the face of overwhelming resistance, and the Empire is now considering what to do in the face of this threat to it's integrity. The third player in the dispute are the Trasnians, who inhabit the planet of Talmaraan V as a Xanthalian protectorate. They have condemned the rebel movement as a blatant defiance of the authority of the Socialist Empire of Xanthal, which conquered the planet in the late 30th. century, and have called for immediate intervention by both the military and Imperial Armada to retake the capital and execute the rebels. The Xanthalian government has shown hesitation because of the fact that the planet was originally taken by force, but has promised to release a decision on it's intended course of action by week's end.

OOC: I'll make this a poll, just for fun.

Can one of the options be that Xanthal spontaneously and miraculously becomes a capitalist inoffensive centrist democracy? :P

Tiburon: Capitalism will happen in Xanthal around the time hell freezes over. Be content with the civil liberites we're granting our citizens.

*arms himself with an ice gun* Let's get busy.

OOC: Have fun :roll: :P :lol: .

:roll: :lol:

Okay, Hell has done its part, now, USSX, you do yours. ^_~

Tiburon: The deal was that it would change about that time. Give or take a few thousand years.

The Xanthalian government has presented it's choice of action. Regardless of how it was originally obtained, the world of Talmaraan VIII is an Imperial colony, and cannot be allowed to defy the Empire by leaving without permission. The Socialist Empire of Xanthal is giving the rebels one week to surrender before it moves five Armada warships and a full military force into the Talmaraan system to retake the capital and capture the rebels. The post-operation plan is to continue normal law on Talmaraan VII with military assistance and try the rebels with first degree insurrection against the Empire.

In the Talmaraan system one week later:
Five Imperial Armada Dreadnaughts move towards Talmaraan VIII at a slow pace, two large military transports following them loaded with troops. The Armada starships deploy their slipfighters, which move ahead and engage the small force of ships mustered by the Talmaraan rebels. Within a matter of minutes the Imperial slipfighters triumph and the rebel ships are but a few pieces of debris floating in space. The Armada Dreadnaughts move into orbit of Talmaraan VII with the military transports as the troops aboard them are beamed into the capital and around the planet. Ground to Space fire from the surface is quickly eliminated with a few well-placed shots from the Armada ships and the 5,000 troops dispatched to the capital storm government headquarters.

Post-operation government report issued by the Xanthalian Ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs:
The rebel movement on Talmaraan VIII has been overcome, and the planet restored to imperial control. Those rebels not killed in the Imperial attack have been tried and convicted of first degree insurrection against the Empire. They have been exiled to Mirfak III. 96 civilians were killed in the Imperial attack, much to the Empire's regret. Normal law-enforcement on Talmaraan VIII has resumed with military assistance. The planet is secure. The Armada has withdrawn. The Empire has prevailed.

OOC:You must be joking right, theres no way a planetary rebellion would end that quickly.

Zerni: The problem was the rebels, not the general population. The rebels have been eliminated; problem solved.

Man, you should have turned this into a war RP... haven't ben in one of those since North Korea...

OOC:You counterdict your self, if they over welmed the garrison, that means theres a lot of them expecally a planetary revolt your not going wipe something like that out that easly. Its not realistic.

Tiburon: No, not worth it. The rebellion was just designed to stir up a little controversy.

Zerni: More realistic than you know. How big was the local garrison on Talmaraan VIII? Do you know?

I believe that if people are willing to fight for their independance and actually are victorious, should be allowed to be independant, so long as they let Xanthal citizens on the planet safe passage off the planet.

Aequatio: The people on the planet are Xanthalian citizens. We cannot allow civil disobedience on this level, it could tear the Empire apart.

I meant loyalists should be allowed safe passage off the planet. Didn't realize that you owned these people.

Ah.

Aequatio: The Xanthalian government owns all of it's citizens. We give them fair and equal treatment, coordinate the distribution of essentials of life, and provide luxuries to our citizens. In return they provide us with their work; that is how Xanthalian society has flourished for centuries. We cannot allow that to be jeopardized by a few hundred rebels.

Tiburon: If you want to set up a war RP with me, you're welcome to TG me about it.

Tiburon: No, not worth it. The rebellion was just designed to stir up a little controversy.

Zerni: More realistic than you know. How big was the local garrison on Talmaraan VIII? Do you know?

OOC:It would have to be at minium in the tens of thousands and even then you wouldn't have much a defense agaist invasion but still some would have gotten way and fought a hit and run war.

Well obviously your system is flawed if you have people unhappy with the way you are running your people. Perhaps you should learn to control your people better.

Zerni: The local garrison at Talmaraan VIII's capital was only 500 troops. There were around 700 rebels, and they had the element of surprise. And you're right, some got away, but only a few dozen, and most of them have been since captured. The rebels were concentrated in the capital, which is why they were so efficiently eliminated.

Aequatio: Our government runs with a 72% approval rating and only an 8% disapproval rating. These foolish rebels are part of a small minority.

From what I can see, this may very well be the end of your empire. You're damned if you go either of the two possible paths you could take.

Path A: You crush the rebellion, thus building opposition to your empire and increased anti-empire activities throughout the system.

or,

Path B: You grant inependance to the planet, thus showing that a small rebellion can lead to independance of entire planets. And soon will follow a complete series of rebellions on all of your empire's planets... thus ending your control of your empire.

I'll do so... but I like just wandering and finding RPs instead of starting my own...

Aequatio: Our population supported our retaking of the planet, which we accomplished with the smallest death toll possible. Problems are not expected to be hindering.

Tiburon: Well, trying new things never hurts.
