Federation of Solar System's Civil War

Zic Lekton was a rich but broken man as he had no family. His parents were murdered my greedy cartel thugs. He hated that the government was not able to stop it and it drove him literally insane. He went to an insane asylum but while he was there he concocted a plan to instore order in the FSS. He managed to get out of the insane asylum but not before destroying his medical records. He then proceeded to build him self up to be a politician/representative for the Europa Official Representative Nation(ORN). He talked of order and made many promises. His following grew and when it was time for election he was a very popular candidate. A lot of politicians also rooted for him and he was passionate about instituting more order in the FSS.

In 3200 he won the election and he instantly made many decisions that were shocking and against the constitution. He hired people to get rid of politicians he didn’t like without anyone knowing it was him. When people started figuring this out it was too late and he had consolidated too much power. He ramped up the IDG and used them to replace peace keepers. The IDG was payed a lot of money to keep the Chairman in power and many people joined the IDG just for the pay. Riots were quelled brutally and crime of any kind was punished unreasonably and with no mercy. The death sentence was brought back to the justice system as a fair punishment.

Politicians were scared of him as he could do what he wanted now. A bunch of politicians got together with a few IDG generals and a few ships and decided to storm London to take the Council Building. The coup failed as a few IDG snitched on those politicians and they disappeared.

Because of this, checkpoints and curfews were introduced to keep an eye on the population and minimize “crime”.  Lekton also got rid of elections so that he could rule until death to ensure maximum order. This was the final straw for most politicians and lots fled to asteroids and isolated moons across the FSS. They were promptly replaced with Lekton Supporters.

In 3248, the politicians that fled managed to get together to form a coalition of moons and asteroids to fight Lekton. They asked Lekton to step down but he refused as he saw them as criminals and he was justice. The Coalition declared war on Lekton. Many more people fled to the coalition to fight against the tyrant.

The war saw many battles across the system on many moons and planets. The Siege of Calisto lasted from 3250-56 and when the Coalition retreated the IDG were in disarray and were frantic to re-supply. Rebel groups took advantage and sabotage a lot of cargo and IDG forces. The Battle of Ceres took place on November 9-16 3255 where the IDG outposts surrounding Ceres City were heavily fought over in harsh unbreathable air in the end the Coalition retreated but continued to raid the outposts.

In 3256, The Coalition tried to get a foot hold on Mars in the city of Zebraton but it was unsuccessful, many of the soldiers were massacred.

Many more battles were fought but the most decisive was yet to come.

In 3259, the Coalition forces managed to capture Europa after a long and hard fought siege. Europa is Lekton’s home world and he was furious and prepared an attack. Even if it was his home world he was still hated and the people celebrated and joined the Coalition Navy in great numbers. This was a turning point as Europa is the third most populated place in the Solar System.

Resistance movements across the FSS saw IDG infrastructure sabotaged and soldiers were being killed all over. Lekton started to see that this wasn’t going to end well for him. IDG officers were switching sides in droves as they saw where the war was going and the money wasn’t worth it anymore. In December 3266 Civilis(Capital of Mars) Rebelled and the fighting managed to push the IDG into the countryside where they kept the rebels in the city and started a siege. The IDG on mars were worn out however and supplies were scarce. The IDG forces started surrendering in droves and many just deserted the army.

Lekton knew the war was over and he sent a message to the coalition stating that he would only surrender if he was allowed to rule freely on an asteroid called Stratus. The Coalition accepted hesitantly but they weren’t sure if they could keep fighting any longer as their supplies were running very low. Lekton was transported to stratus where he could be king and he could rule along with his followers.  The FSS democracy was restored and laws were brought back to how they were before Lekton. The leader of the Coalition, Lara Inktin, was elected Chairwomen.
