Lifted from the UEC's factbook (link in sig):
In 1956, the Colerican Emperor Kydel Thra was challenged by a surprising chain of events. An upstart general in the Imperial Army, Quiden Serec, was threatening a coup. This is often referred to as the Four Days of Danger. For four days, Serec and an entire division of troops loyal to him laid siege to the Imperial Palace. The Colerican soldiers loyal to the Emperor defended the Emperor and General Serec was defeated during the fourth night of fighting.
Serec surrendered and the coup was over. Emperor Thra was furious. He enacted swift punishment. Every single one of Serec’s men, some nine thousand remaining soldiers, was hung. Serec, himself, didn’t share such an easy death. He had his eyes removed, his tongue cut off, and his fingers and toes cut off. He was then crucified on a large pole suspended from a five-story building overlooking Keystone Bay. He died a slow, painful death two days later. His rotting body remained there for one year until it finally was removed.
I want to RP this out in its entirety and I'm looking for volunteers for roles. I will be commanding Kydel Thra's forces, but I need an RP'er for Serec's rebels and others -- there was foreign influence, too. You know how it ends, but I want complete details. Help me flesh out a history. :) If you need any other information, don't hesitate to ask. Just keep in mind that this will be taking place in 1957, so don't come rolling in with M-1A1's and F-117's.
A more formal RP post will follow soon.
