After the mercless and barbaric crushing of the Tirah revolt. Rear Admiral Torsa brough back Grand Duke Ivan and the provencial Council that the Tirahs put over them selves for a highly public show trial. The Triconsulate decided that the trial would be held on the Orbital colony that the Tirah Alliance ran and the trial would publicly broadcasted. It was a show trial they were not about to let these rebel leaders live. No matter what or who got in the way they would die.

Back on Tirah even with the over 100,000 civlians and 80,000 surrendered rebels slaughtered under the orders of Rear Admiral Torsa orders, thousands of people who had not been soilders but had been part of the breif and fallen goverment along with their familes were rounded up and put into death camps to killed.

Preparations for the trial had alrightly been made and it had been publicly annouced and the Triconsulate of the Tirah Colonial allance had appointed three Judges one from each nation of the Allance to over see the trial. the Triconsulate was debating how to excute the rebels however, the Tordoran Consul wanted them impaled on stakes while the Romanian and the Italian counsulate favored shoting or lethal injection.

On reaching the Tirah Colonial allaince Orbital colony above earth, the prisoners were excorted in chains and blind folds to a jail near where the trial was to be held then thrown into their cells. by the now the prisoners looked to shadows of their former selves after weeks of beatings and been feed moldy bread and foul water by their capters. Their trial would began in 12 hours.

Grand Ivan and the council had no Illusions to their fates but they had a final trick up their sleeves, if they were going to die, they would die well and not give their captors any satifaction, slowly the 12 pasted and they were excorted to their trial, they noted that there was several cameras and many reporters in the court room. They steeled themselves and walked in calm and with dinifed looks about them even with theri beaten and starved looks.

One of the judges of the three panel spoke to the prisoners. "You stand before this court charged with high treason, leading a insurrition aimed at freeing a colony of its rightful rule by this alliance and imprisioning Allaince officals. We know your guilty but what do you plea scum."

Grand Duke Ivan spoke calmly. "Guilty as charged if seeking indpendance from an opressive government that treats Our people worse than Malkoran's slave's dog and allows its soldiers to do what ever they want to its own colonies people is a crime than by god we are all guilty as charged. If..." Grand Duke Ivan was interupted by the guards beating him down before he could finish ill reguardless of the rolling cameras broadcasting the trial live.

The Judge smiled. "Thank you guards, if he had continued with that freedom loving garbage. Your nothing but Colonist scum, not citizens of Italy, Romania or Tordor, your only purpice in life is to make money for the countries of this allaince mainly by mining Gerexi, rats have more rights than you do or deserve. Court is recess for an day intil an proper excution method is chosen for the prisoners. Take them away." The Prisoners are knocked unconsious and dragged from the courtroom.

Duke Ivan woke with a a spliting headache but that was to expected sighed, resigned to his fate, regreting that he failed to free his poepole from the opression of the Alliance, well the Tordorans, anyone who really knew anything know that the Tirah Colonial Alliance was a just a puppet allaince, in reallity they controlled the governments of Romania and Italy as well as the consuls from the countries that governed the allaince. he sighed and waited for when they would bring him and the council before the judges for the no doubt prearranged excution.

Baron Tor dernsi, the Teritoran counsul to the alliance watched the trial on the TV and frowned and spoke to his aide, Lord Droani. "Hmm, concidering the Tirah is a puppet Alliance of tordor which they use to control Italy and Romania secretly and without the citizens of the countries geting upset or so they think, this bares looking into. Maybe we can do something that will piss off those argent upstarts." Lord Droani nodded and arranged for all the information that could be gotten to gathered.

Meanwhile the Judges began to decide the prisoners fates.

Judge one:We need to break them, its not enough we are going to put them to death and over 180,000 of these colonists scum were put to death, we need to insure they never revolt again.

Judge two:What if besides puting to them death, we excute their famlies before hand.

Judge Three:That would break them, the knowalage that their familes will put to death as well, down to the third cousins.

Judge One:Sounds good. So we are agreed.

Judge Two and three:Indeed. Lets send for the prisoners.

6 hours later the prisoners are assemblied and the sentince is read before the court and the media who had been at the trial.

Judge one speaks:You are all hereby sentinced to death by hanging but frist you will watch your familes down the third cousins and the smallest babies hang before you and it will be insured that their necks will not break before hand so you can watch them slowly die. This sentence is to carried out in a week.

Duke Ivan spoke coldly. "I am not surpised you sadisic monsters would do such a thing. I expected nothing less from such monsters, but there will be a recking and you will lose..." The guards suddenly knock Duke Ivan out and drag him and the council back to their cells.

After gathering Information on the sitation, Baron Tor dernsi forwarded his secured and secret report back to Teritora.
