Aesthetican Crisis

The Aesthetican Crisis is the given name to the tensions between Trident Foundries and the Aesthetican Resistance movement. In May of 2317, the crisis began as multiple breaches of the Poseidon Act were committed on Trident's behalf. In response, the planet of Aesthetica founded a paramilitary organisation, known as the Resistance, to act as a safeguard against any further breaches.

== History ==
The Aesthetican Crisis began in May of 2317, when Trident Foundries reportedly breached the Poseidon Act, an act of union between Aesthetica and Trident, several times. In response, the Aesthetican government established a resistance movement as a barrier against any further breaches. Seen as an act of violence against the Trident Government, the Resistance caused an embargo on the planet of Aesthetica, anticipating to starve the Aesthetican people to submission.
However, the economic sanctions against Aesthetica only bolstered more support for the Resistance, eventually amassing over 33 million people in support of the movement.
This led to the Resistance being seen as a terror organisation in the eyes of Trident, and the majority of the Union of Intergalactic States, with various accusations being thrown around against them, including collusion with the Vaygr Empire. It is unknown whether these accusations are true.
== Impact ==
What is known is the impact on the economy not only within the Union's territory, but within the entire Outer Rim. Both sides of the crisis began to suffer inflation, reduced sales in exports, unemployment and higher tax rates. This period of economic decline has, contrary to the belief of the populace, only bolstered support of the sanctions in Trident's government, and the support of the people against Trident on Aesthetica. While also suffering from the impact of the crisis, the Union of Intergalactic States is reportedly working to prevent the two sides of this economic attrition from coming to blows.
