Revolution!

Waterloo's citizens are tired of an autocratic government and protests sprang up on many Waterlooian worlds, including Waterloo, Plaeclara, Plaeclara Rex, Mirabilia, and Gallia Belgica, some of Waterloo's most populated planets. Protesters decried the influence of the royal family and asked for a democratic government based on Ceni's. Waterlooian officials ordered many troops to fire on the protesters, but since many were Waterlooian citizens, the soldiers refused to fire on the protesters and joined them instead. Waterloo then brought out its Regaliter Guard, the elite guards that guarded the emperor. Those guards slaughtered 1,520 peaceful protesters on Mirabilia, 2,697 on Gallia Belgica, 1,205 on Plaeclara Rex, 3,658 on Plaeclara, and 5,967 on Waterloo. They also let out tear gas, mustard gas, and chlorine onto the protesters, killing 10,892. The Cenian Senate held an emergency session a few days ago and passed a resolution 154-10 condemning the violence. But Waterlooian officials refused to heed the calls to stop the violence and began to shell the San Carlos Apartments on Mirabilia. 5,236 innocent civilians and their families were killed. Another 2,998 were killed when government officials shelled the Bacca City Hospital on the planet Bacca, killing wounded civilians. Protesters were outraged. Waterloo officials demanded that protesters stop the protests in order for the violence to stop.  But protesters continued airing their grievances against Waterloo, Fon Que, and Consul Demetrius. Groups of protesters tore down statues of Emperor Wolfe Wellesley and looted from the Imperial Museum of Dynastic History, where Kenny the Kind's military regalia was displayed. Waterloo officials then destroyed the Hunitia Apartment Building, with 54,789 innocents not connected to the revolution inside. 4,622 survived. Protesters then petitioned the Interplanetary Medicine Board to supply medicine to wounded protesters who were dying of easily treated injuries. But Waterloo's Duma passed 456-0 a resolution that banned any member if any aid agency from entering the country. The Emperor approved it 10 minutes after it was passed. Today Waterlooian citizens are preparing for a revolution, one that would allow them to have a free country.

    Kyn Tucin and the Senate of Cenaci you will be breaking the Universal Pact if you get involved so back off.

  2. Actually, Ceni never signed the Universal Pact because it did not have enough votes in the Senate. It had to have a 3/4 majority, not a plurality. And why would we listen to despotic dictators of their own people?
