ooc: I should say first that only a small minority of Gatawans are socialist the majority are in strong support of the Imperial Government or are indifferent to it...the socialist supporting groups mostly consist of immigrants from my former northern neighbor of Zambistan (who was socialist) and they occupy only a very small area along the border and the outlaying area with the city of Hellina being the largest city in that vicinity and having the largest number of Zambistan immigrants..most socialist supporters had already been arrested tried & executed or deported following the second Zambi-Gataway conflict so in short this is in no way a massive socialist revolution it is an isolated one spread across a single province

Breaking news from the north east Awero province

The Imperial Government announced today the reinstatement of the controversial state security act which was previously used to root out enemies of the Imperial government and those deemed conspirators or undesirables.

The decision to reinstate the law comes after reports of riots in the city of Hellina for a socialist revolution which has since spread into other towns and villages throughout the North East province.

Hellina has been a socialist hot bed ever since the Zambi civil war conflicts when thousands of Zambistan refugees fled into the region.

Following the Zambi-Gataway conflicts protests for socialist reform have been constant and have met government resistance even as much as the deployment of military personnel into the city to quell riots.

The most recent protests have been sparked by the forced resignation of the provincial elected governor Cilor Vutz who was found to be pro-communist and had been using government money to fund multiple pro-socialist groups throughout the province.

Former Governor Vutz's trial was marked by protests and his sentence of life imprisonment at the notorious military prison Keine Hoffnung today led to full out demonstrations in the city of Hellina.

The Imperial Government was quick to react sending some two thousand GSSF and Indramu Vathe soldiers and police forces which converged on the city early this morning.

Some three-hundred fifty arrests have already been reported with an estimated four hundred more protesters detained for questioning.

Rumors of a more permanent government presence have been confirmed with the construction of a GSSF provincial complex announced today, along with the appointment of the new provincial governor Arnold Nurom, whom with imperial authority has already reportedly established several detainment camps to hold suspected "Conspirators to undermine the Imperial Government and revolutionaries" while they await processing and court appearances on their charges.

As per the Gatawan State Security Act all those who have been found guilty already have been deported from the Imperial mainland to colonial prisons along with their family members and their possessions and financial assets acquired by the Imperial government and distributed out to the loyal populace as mandated.....


Furlan, Small town forty miles south west of Hellina

The city streets were crowded as masses of socialist protesters stood outside the Imperial Envoy's Council hall waving banners of the sickle and hammer and posters bearing the picture of former governor Vutz along with various other banners with pro communist and socialist phrases written on them in various languages.

From behind the walls of the council hall the PA system blared

"Return to your homes and disperse immediately by order of the Imperial Crown!"

the words fell on deaf ears and only enraged the crowd further as calls for the death of the emperor and revolution were shouted the crowd pressed forward against the gates which began to waver against the constant pounding... moments later a large explosion rocked the second floor of the council hall.

"What the hell was that..?"

A young GSSF guard shouted from down the now smoke filled hallway...

"The sons of bitches got their hands on some weapons, we're taking RPG and small arms fire get higher on the radio and tell em we need assistance priority urgent"

Barked back a nameless sergeant moving slowly down the hallway wiping blood from his forehead..

a few seconds later another set of explosions rocked the council hall this time the front doors had been hit...the GSSF guards were now returning fire as best they could but it wasn't much use.

"They've breached the perimeter!" shouted another guard as the crowd now rushed forward through the gates, butchering him shortly thereafter with a machete

Bullets ricocheted off the walls and burst through windows up and down the hallways, the roar of the mob outside grew louder as they now entered the council hall and made their way towards the envoy chambers mowing down or dragging away every GSSF trooper in front of them...

In a matter of minutes it was over....the Envoy and the remaining guards dragged out into the streets to be shot or their throats slit, the bodies then dragged and paraded through the town like prize hunting trophies...

Later that night...

Elements from the 4th "Viper" Battalion an advance unit dispatched ahead of the main force tasked with quelling the insurrection of the area rolled into Furlan finding it abandoned save a few the sick and the old..they also found the rubble of the council hall and the bodies of the envoy and their GSSF counterparts..they also found the town's arsenal and medical facilities had been raided.

The sick and old citizens and anyone else found still in the town were rounded up detained and thrown into the back of transport trucks like heaps of garbage...they were soon headed for detainment camps far out in the unforgiving northern deserts..many did not expect to ever see home again others did not expect to survive the trip...some didn't want to.

Somewhere in the hills of Awero Province

The sound of trucks broke through the other wise silent morning air, not even the birds were awake yet as the loose convoy of different vehicles made their way up the steep rocky embankments of the hill stopping only when they had reached the courtyard of the ancient castle, long forgotten the stone walls had been weathered down and grown over with vines and an assortment of other vegetation never the less the deep cavernous tunnels below served as the perfect hiding point and staging point of operations for the newly formed Vutz Militia, as they now called themselves the socialist revolutionaries now united under one banner against the might of the Imperial government.

With every new arrival more tales of GSS night raids in villages and towns as well as stories about skirmishes with Imperial Army and Indramu Vathe forces leaked in. Hellina the socialist stronghold, had been put under siege and had been taking artillery bombardment for three straight days still gunfights continued although the socialist revolutionaries were ultimately doomed in Hellina.

An older man with a face that told a tale of hardship and violence stood looking out towards the direction of the city, the place he had called home for so many years now burned and smoldered off in the distance swallowed up by the imperial forces. His family, friends, and all he knew gone, some taken away to the camps others executed outright in the city streets during protests.

"Hail Comrade, captain more have come to join our cause, they bring much needed supplies weapons and ammunition, Lieutenant Surov is briefing them now and having the supplies stored below, they bring reports imperial forces have stepped up their raids and arrested more...Hellina has only a few pockets of resistance left and there is no way to get any other fighters out...the city is lost."


The older man turned clutching a cane in his hand as he limped away from the window...pausing briefly lowering his head his face showing a feeling of anguish which quickly turned to an expression of rage he griped the top of his cane his knuckles turning bone white before slowly his emotions subsided and he collected himself.

"Hail Comrade very well....and what of our scouts have they anything to report.?"

The older man turned now looking towards the younger man who wasn't old enough to even be out of high school yet.

"Alpha was able to hit a Imperial supply convoy earlier...we managed to raid some rations and medical equipment....Bravo hit another convoy but took heavy losses when a pair of gunships and diamondback strike teams showed up...they didn't manage to salvage anything most didn't even make it back.."

The older man nodded slowly motioning the young revolutionary to follow him as they made their way down the ancient stairs into the caverns below..

Hellina

The sounds of strike craft roared over head followed by the loud bang and shock wave of explosions going off, in the background small arms fire was almost constant smoke and dust from collapsed and burning buildings filled the air occasionally a scream of agony would ring out above all the chaos only to be silenced moments later with the sound of a single gunshot

"Redirect fire to coordinates TangoDelta 764589, I say again Redirect fire to coordinates TangoDelta 764589 over!"

Barked the imperial army sergeant into his radio.

"Redirecting fire to TangoDelta 764589 Fox1, keep pressing on and happy commie hunting out there, Victory for the crown!."

Came back the reply over the receiver, moments later the sound of a series of screeching shells rained in over head annihilating several high rise complexes where revolutionary forces were firing from.

Moments later several revolutionaries ran out of another building hands raised in surrender, only to be met with hot unforgiving lead as the sound of heavy machine gun and rifle fire broke out all across the imperial line of advance
