Kolhari Civil War

The Kolhari Civil War is an ongoing being fought in Kolhar. It was instigated after a large portion of the Kolhari military defected, with the portion of the navy defected seeking out help from other nations.

Background
Kolhar became a fascist state in 1938 when the ruling monarchy at the time reorganized the nation. Though the nation officially was reorganized into a, the legislature was nothing more than a and the new leader of Kolhar holding the title of Davyl Jaw. This change was initially welcomed by the Kolhari population, which viewed fascism as a strong form of government and saw 's initial success in as evidence of that.

After World War 2, some portions of the population began questioning the fascist state. Such questions were not tolerated by the government, and anyone who questioned the government was immediately arrested. Furthermore, the fascists began implementing a number of policies that deliberately descriminated against Sects percieved by the Kolhari government to be "inferior" to the ruling sect, including a class-based citizenship system. Such policies resulted in rampant social inequality, with the lower-classes being dominated by dissidents and "second-class citizens". The deliberate denial of opportunities to some individuals was percieved to be going directly against traditional Kolhari cultural values, which contributed to a buildup of discontent.

Morska Prison Riot
This discontent came to a head in the Morska Prison Riot. Morska Prison was one of Kolhar's most nortorious prisons for political dissidents at the time. The prison warden was a known sadist who toyed with the prisoners for his own amusement, even violating the guidelines given to him by the Kolhari Advancement Party on how to treat political prisoners. These violations of policy largely went ignored by the Kolhari government.

A was assigned to the prison, who was appalled by the systematic violations of policy that he saw in the prison. He voiced his strong opposition to the prison warden, who then tried to court the political officer onto his side. However, when the political officer didn't come to the wardens side, the warden killed the political officer in a fit of rage.

When prisoners heard of the political officer's actions, they went into a riot, enraged at the fact that the one political officer who opposed the harsh treatment of prisoners was murdered. The riot went out of control, and several prisoners escaped. The riot was finally ended after the Kolhari military was called in to deal with the prisoners.

Battle of Tailat
Upon hearing of what happened in the prison, several Kolhari generals came together and decided that they would no longer stand in the Kolhari military. They, along with the officers they commanded, elected to defect from the military and rebel against the fascist government. To this end, ships loyal to them were sent into the in search of support for their rebellion.

The massive move of ships was noticed by the Kolhari fascists, who ordered that the city be prepared for dissidents to come back and rebel. During preparations, the generals chose to make their move and rebel against the Kolhari government, starting the first battle in the war.
