== History ==
The Great Galthad Rebellion is notable for being the only time in the Serene Duchy of Aeldrum's history when the Aeldrum Dragoons were deployed against targets within the Aeldrum Core Worlds, an action which legally required that the Aeldrum Spire itself be under attack. The provocation and subsequent Dragoons deployment occurred when Galthadi extremists bombed rail lines to the Aeldrum Spire. While technically outside the spire itself, this attack was interpreted as sufficient cause for a state of emergency and was used by the Serene Doge to bypass Parliament and launch the "Raking of Galthad," in which the Aeldrum Dragoons infamously brought the Galthad spire to heel, securing "confessions" of support for the rebels from Galthadi dissidents at gunpoint. Though Parliament overturned most of these forced confessions and subsequently brought several Dragoon officers up on charges amounting to war crimes under Aeldman law, only junior Dragoon officers were ever convicted and Galthadis executed during the Raking were not posthumously pardoned. Parliament subsequently voted itself the right to curtail the geographic sphere of a state of emergency.
