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

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.
