Pious Rebellion

The Pious Rebellion was launched by the Pious Family in the Duchy of Rak. The rebellion became official on the date 2248.02.01, which marked the beginning of border clashes between the Pious Rak'Thalak'Nak Confederation and the Duchy of Rak. The official war started on the date 2254.05.25, where The First Galactic Empire finally intervened at the request of the Duchy. They quickly squashed the rebellion and ended it on the date 2257.02.25. A few rebel fighter craft still roam around, but have no significant threat.

### Location

Many Locations

The Pious Rebellion became the first civil conflict in New Galactic Order history, and it was destroyed almost instantly. It reminded all within federation territory to think twice before rebelling. It reminded the galaxy once more the cost of opposing the New Galactic Order Federation.

The Sacred Gargaxton Council and United States of Retards stayed out of the conflict, declaring their neutrality. They proclaimed that they had no need for intervention, which was accepted by The First Galactic Empire.

## Early Stages

An unofficial rebellion started up with Gorilla Fighting to try and secure their territory. FTL capable fighters were used for this purpose. Soon, they launched a rebellion on Rak'Thalak'Nak and won. This was the start of the official rebellion. Once they captured the planet, other systems quickly fell under their control. The Wolf Camera Corporation(WC Corporation) learned of this and notified the Sacred Gargaxton Council, who then notified The First Galactic Empire. The New Galactic Order met up in Bieburg to discuss this threat, The First Galactic Empire immediately put forth a bill that would allow for a vote to declare war on the rouge state. This bill was cut off due to the federation president being shifted to the Sacred Gargaxton Council, this practically stopped the bill from being voted on in any way. Soon after, they officially called themselves the Pious Rak'Thalak'Nak Confederation, they made it clear they had no intention of bringing back the old ways of their ancestors. This appeared to have not affected the view the New Galactic Order had on them.

## Increasing Power

The Pious Rak'Thalak'Nak Confederation started to expand in the power vacuum left behind by the collapse of the Rak'Thalak'Nak Despoilers. Border clashes between the Confederation and Duchy started in the year 2249 and ended in the year 2251, with the Confederation winning the majority of border clashes. They even managed to establish a military base in the system of Emasdouhi on a uninhabitable planet, they accomplished this using air-tight technology and artificial oxygen/gravity generators, which has never been seen before. What was shocking was the fact that Emasdouhi was the capital system of the Duchy of Rak.

The creation of their navy, which they called the Intergalactic Pious Navy, was fast and swift. Creating a navy that could contend with both the Duchy of Rak and Duchy of Evar at the same time. This caused slight panic from the Sacred Gargaxton Council, who urged The First Galactic Empire to do something about it. However, they refused. This gave the Pious more time to grow and gain more power, forcing rouge Despoiler units to join them or face death. Many of which chose death.

## Instability

Instability was clear in the region when the rebels popped up 2 years after The Reaper War ended. It became more clear when rouge Despoiler units were discovered by the Pious in the Waltom, Riggott, Errai, and Fatis systems. They were quickly wiped out, though the Waltom units decided to join them instead. The Wolf Camera Corporation(WC Corporation) predicts that instability in the region will last for many decades to come, and this could potentially be the first of many rebellions. They do state that this could be incorrect, but ever since New Galactic Order intervention the region hasn't been the same.

## War

The expansion of the Pious Rak'Thalak'Nak Confederation was fast, and its pace broke the straw for the New Galactic Order. On the request of The First Galactic Empire, the Sacred Gargaxton Council passed the bill that would allow for an invasion of the Pious Rebels on the date 2254.1.16. On the date 2254.05.25 the vote passed, this meant the New Galactic Order was at war with the Pious Rebels. The Sacred Gargaxton Council and United States of Retards declared neutrality, but permitted FGE ships to pass through their territory. The war ended on the date 2257.02.25, showing the immense power of The First Galactic Empire alone. The rebel territory was reoccupied by the Duchy of Rak soon after the war was over.

## Battles

One of the two significant battles in the war was the Battle of Rak'Thalak'Nak, where the only bit of resistance was seen. The battle lasted for a few short months before ending, which led to The First Galactic Empire occupying the system. This destroyed any hope of the rebellion surviving, they collapsed a couple years later.

The second battle was led by the Duchy of Rak to take out the rebel base on the planet of Emasdouhi IVa, the battle lasted longer than the war. It lasted before and after, with the last bit of fighting seen on the planet. The years of combat saw the Duchy of Rak getting embarrassed for the majority of it, they started the campaign to kick them out in the year 2251 and ended it in the year 2261. For the first 5 years(2251-2256) the Duchy was destroyed in combat, as the rebel base had constant supply. Even after the rebel nation was destroyed and no resources came in, they had become self-sufficient by that point. They had the gas needed for "blaster" technology, which allowed them to have upwards to 500,000 rounds in a single magazine due to the gas. The Duchy relied on kinetic weaponry, which didn't help them. In the next few years(2256-2260), they finally started to turn the tide, as they figured out a way to make fighters capable of flying in Emasdouhi IVa's extremely toxic atmosphere. This gave them bombing run capabilities, however, the rebels had anti-air capabilities and put up a fight. The fighters dropped quick, but so did the anti-air. The final bits of anti-air capabilities were destroyed in the year 2261, which is when unrestricted bombing runs were permitted. They quickly destroyed the base and Duchy troops stormed it, the remaining troops put up a fight for a few minutes before they all died.

## Aftermath

The aftermath of the war shows the New Galactic Order that they aren't invincible to internal troubles. The Sacred Gargaxton Council and The First Galactic Empire are now getting worried about outside intervention while they are focused on internal issues, which is causing them to rapidly militarize. The Wolf Camera Corporation(WC Corporation) recorded the militarization in The First Galactic Empire, they compared what they saw their to the Cold War seen on Cyggia, which almost lead to the extinction of the species. They worry that a Cold War will settle over the galaxy, and that a simple spark can set a whole load of things in motion. Their predictions so far have been correct, which has led the Sacred Gargaxton Council recognizing them as "The News Outlet of the Galaxy". If what they said this time is true is currently unknown, but will soon become known.
