Red Fury Brotherhood Exploits CIS Weakness, Claims Hevvrol
Year 19 Day 20
Fortuitous news today from the Cularin System as it was announced that the Confederacy of Independent Systems would officially disband as the ruling government of all sectors. In a bold move, the “thought to be defunct” Red Fury Brotherhood has laid claim to the CIS capitol and all space within its control.
News from the defunct CIS indicates that the majority of the government’s military forces had broke away, joining the revolutionary call of the local private military the Red Fury Brotherhood, which has operated out of the Cularin asteroid belt since the early Clone Wars. Under direction of the Red Fury Brotherhood, local planetary government leaders were quick to denounce Confederate control.
The Cularian System had long been the strong centerpoint of the Confederacy, but recent declines in the market after the fall of the Corporate Alliance placed a strain on the economy. With the decrease in overall profits, the CIS leadership placed heavy taxation and economic sanctions throughout their territory. This in conjunction with the ever increasing military spending and the illegal trading taking place outside the traditional marketplace, lead to continued hardship on the clusters one hundred fifty billion sentients. Sensing an opportunity, leadership of the Red Fury Brotherhood and long time rival O.I.T met and agreed to an armistice. Together they quickly moved on the local governments, convincing them of the benefits of breaking away from the Confederacy.
Echuu Shen-Jon leader of the Red Fury Brotherhood, emphasized that the group will not function as a government body, and will never allow the burdens of the Confederacy to be placed upon the people again. The focus of the Brotherhood is now set on ensuring a free port of call without the binds of government taxation or restrictions within their space. He stressed that this move was a long time coming, and the transition happened smoothly, with as little bloodshed as necessary.
