The Fall of the Order

Hypercomm News Network

Emperor Setis Asheron was killed in a succesful coup d'etat led by revelutionary forces. Lord Marshal Helos declared Marshal Law until the new government could be stablized. At the same time Helos ordered all military forces under his command to stand down. General Arkan amazed all when, shortly after the Lord Marshal's order, he personally surrendered to Helos. The Lord Marshal then promptly pardoned all soldiers under Arkan's command including Arkan himself. They were given the choice of returning to civilian life or rejoining the armed forces. All of them rejoined. Arkan was reinstated as a General and then promoted to Marshal.

Within a week of the former Emperor's death, the reunification of all armed forces and the dissolution of the Empire of Order was complete. After a month of military rule, the Lord Marshal gave up his powers to the provisionary government. An hour later the elections for the canidency of the office of President were open. After a two month campaign, Sil Na'tur became the first President of the Tel'Dabe Republic.

During the month of military rule the people experienced some growing pains. The old system was gone and the new way was here. Lords became Governors, Counts became Regional Governors, and Dukes became Senators. Only a 1/4 of the original leaders continued on to become Governors and Senators. The rest were removed forcefully by mobs of angry citizens and by the military. More than 1/4 of the former leaders of Empire would not give up their positions. These Lords, Counts, and Dukes of the old Order had to be removed by force and many were killed. The remaining aristocracy grouped together with Grand Admiral Salane ,who had refused the Lord Marshal's order taking 3/4's of his entire command, and headed to the Far Reaches. This Remnant of Order has cut off communications with the rest of the galaxy.

The recap of the last few months will continue after these messages...
