The Insurgency

The Insurgency was perhaps one of the most defining eras in Yata's history - marked by the Yomtach occupation of Yata and the evacuation of most of humanity to Theia. It immediately followed the Futurist War, a world war where Yata was most vulnerable to external influence, and so the Insurgency started when Sanmor melted the Arctic Ice, freeing the Yomtachs from the Underground, enabling them to invade all of Yata. As a result, humanity retreated to Prospero, and then Asophania, where the planetary shield generators that prevented leaving Yata were activated, then ultimately Theia. Billions of humans were left behind, and almost all of them perished to the invading Yomtachs.
For a period of 4 years, no one entered or left the planet, leaving behind a mostly desolate wasteland left behind by war. As the planetary shields were enabled by the retreating population, Yata was essentially on a lockdown, and remaining humans were hunted to near extinction. However, a group of 7 humans, 4 Kaphisians and another mysterious being saved the planet by overriding the shield generators on Asophania, paving the way for the planet's reconquest. This involved disabling seven kilometre-long, highly manoeuvrable atmospheric craft known as "engines" which, when aligned vertically, functioned as pylons that generated a secondary shield around Asophania - the location of the primary shield generator.
The Insurgency ended when Andrei and Cormac's team escaped Yata, enabling Theian armies to fly back to Yata to recapture it following the disabling of the shields. Additionally, the team brought intel on the mysterious nation of Omnistat as well as information regarding the plague pandemic which ultimately instigated the recapture of Yata. As a result of the recapture, Yata was resettled, thus beginning the Third Yomtach Genocide.
