2647 Varkkinsett Massacre

The 2647 Varkkinsett Massacre was a violent uprising in the city of Varkkinsett against Estvoldian rule in the area. The city devolved into a war zone and then further degenerated into a slaughter as the government tried to extinguish the flames of rebellion with increasing violence. Strict curfews were imposed on any Raljikkan native, and arrest warrants were issued for any Raljikkan acting too "suspicious" and who could be part of the rebelling forces, which further incited the natives to volatile reactions.
It was only through the careful negotiations of Derrin Stormwing I, the leader of the anti-Estvoldian forces, that peace was eventually brokered for both sides. As a result of the massacre, many other territories under Estvoldian rule were significantly more willing to accept Derrin Stormwing's vision of what eventually became the Alamo Empire, and there were subsequent rebellions across Raljikka to shake off foreign law. "Never forget Varkkinsett" became the rallying cry of those who believed the Estvoldians could not be trusted on their planet.
It is estimated approximately 5,300 people died -- most of them Raljikkan natives -- in the 2647 Varkkinsett Massacre itself or from the resulting aftermath.
