Aeldrum Devolution Crisis

The was a political crisis that occurred in the Serene Duchy of Aeldrum's colonies and core worlds during the latter half of the 5th century A.U.
== History ==
The Devolution Crisis centered around a vast omnibus of constitutional compromises known as the Commonwealth Amendments, ratified by the Aeldman Parliament in and taking full effect at the beginning of The amendments officially dismembered Aeldrum's vast colonial empire into a patchwork of "Sister Republics" through a process handled just peaceably and delicately enough to avoid disastrous opportunistic intervention by the cosmos' other major powers.
The Devolution Crisis gave rise to three new Serene Republics (the Serene Republic of Calath, the Serene Republic of Percel, and the Serene Republic of Liveth), three major "Popular" republics (the Semalese Republic, the Republic of Chelonia, and the Republic of Telrion), several smaller "Minor Republics" (including the Republic of Demalth and Republic of Aldesh), and the Aeldman Commonwealth Worlds.
The peaceful handling of the Devolution Crisis is often credited to Sinvas Luvelath, who is widely remembered as one of the most influential Aeldmen never to be Serene Doge, either as the "man who bartered off the empire" or as the "man who prevented an Aeldman civil war."
