Synopsis
The current year is 3218. The newly appointed head of state, Her Highness First Citizen Lady Xerala Wingfield IV has been in office for two years. Wingfield’s preferred party, the Free Citizen’s Galactic Front (FCGF), holds majority in the High and Lower Commune. Modifications to law and internal control are being passed at an alarming rate. Citizens are split. Speculation of corruption and imperialism, hopes for control and stability, and rumours about Her Highness echo throughout the tri-planetary array of the Velorum System (0605).

On Aniel 12th, 3217 the Unified Emancipation Movement (UEM) successfully hacks an Imprisma, Inc. news stream to publicly declare separation from the New Velorum Alliance. The downtrodden and brutalized celebrate, given hope. Over the month, harmless rallying turns into riot, uprising, and organized terrorism. Swift to quell any threat to their power, the climate is eased by massacre. The FCGF’s militaristic seizure of control is assisted by the private military forces of the Grand Order of Zol’s Light. In mass media, the slaughter is presented as an anti-terrorism mission supported by Zol’s good will. Underground news sources provide more frightening footage: recordings of FGFC infantry performing civilian killings. Her Highness First Citizen herself holds a public forum, assuring citizens that these actions are performed and distributed by disguised rebel forces, most likely the UEM.

Propaganda and rumors are rampant. It is said the UEM has garnered powerful allies. The majority of people goff at the thought of the rebel group rising against the entire military of the state and Church, regardless of what help they may receive. Believers do exist though, the majority of which figure the UEM is backed by the Omer-Basque Foundation, a mercenary organization that favors coin over questions. Others believe it to be the esoteric Alim Har, a distant collective of apolitical psionic warriors who oversee balance between the stars. None know the truth, save the most important consigns of the UEM.

Velorum is in flux; how will you change it?
