Confederacy of the Free Rebellions

## The Confederacy of the Free Rebellions

**The Confederacy of the Free Rebellions** (CFR) is an alliance of several rebellions. Who had united to free themselves from the oppressive Imperium Ever since the Imperium was founded, there have always been smaller rebel alliances. But the CFR is the largest rebel alliance that ever existed. The CFR brings together many different rebel organizations, each with its own goals, tactics, resources, equipment, and culture. But all are aiming to smash the Imperium. But there is disagreement about other goals, tactics, ideologies, and countless other things, which the central command ironically suppresses. There is also no consensus on the question of whether one should worship the Emperor. But this should not tempt anyone to see them as a chaos cult. In truth, they are simply a great alliance of freethinkers, nonconformists, rebels, disappointed, freedom fighters, and malcontents.

## History

Since the Imperium exist there were uprisings, rebellions, and secessionist movements. However, the imperial authorities are ever vigilant and ruthless in crushing each of these rebellions, punishing their members extremely harshly and unfairly. But just as the living conditions throughout the Imperium were declining every year. Anger and rebellion grew so much. And just as the decadence, greed, incompetence, and ignorance of the imperial authorities rose to unprecedented heights, so did the number of those who fought them with violence and hatred.

### The founding (848.M37)

When oppressive repression became too terrible for many. Huge waves of rebellion shook the Empire. This was brutally suppressed by the Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy. Thousands of planets have been drowned in war. Trillions of people have been killed, injured, arrested, or forced to abandon their secure existence and seek asylum as refugees. But there were also successes or cases where rebels were able to escape their fallen planets. These survivors were determined to advance their resistance.

But also the first thoughts of a galaxy-wide resistance organization. Unfortunately, many of the initiatives failed in the negotiations or were quickly wiped out by imperial forces. Even if the oppressive power of the imperial authorities tried with all their might to destroy all these organizations. Several smaller rebel alliances survived and formed the Confederacy of the Free Rebellions in 848.M37.

### The battle of Jagatus (003.M42)

The battle of Jagatus was the CFR's largest battle to date. The battle van first took place in orbit and the second phase on the surface of the planet Jagatus. The recent opening of the Cicatrix Maledictum and the resulting chaos has led to huge flows of refugees, but also a huge number of stranded military units and assets. The CFR wanted to capitalize on this. So the forces of the CFR rallied and then struck. In orbit of Jagatus was the Imperial Navy's 71st Battle Fleet. With a mighty force, the fleet of the CFR pushes into the ranks of the Imperial Navy. The warships on both sides exchange volleys. CFR boarding parties quickly entered the Imperial ships. In the next few hours, crews and boarding squads fight each other. But eventually, all ships are boarded and their crews enslaved. Now the ground forces are preparing for a landing while the CFR Air Force fighters are constantly attacking ground targets. Those on the planet's surface were located on the 31st, 55th, 66th, and 45th Cadian Shock Troopers, the 44th Cardic Wolves, the 6th Warsilts War Militia, 77th Marantis Iron Militia A total of 1 million soldiers were stationed on Jagatus. But they were not prepared for a well-coordinated attack. And so the CFR forces had an easy time with them. After a week of fighting, the CFR conquered the entire planet and captured enough supplies to launch 20 Crusades.
