Wed, 10/12/2011 - 07:31 — Anonymous Twilight/Aldebaran 117-1121 A sudden
popular uprising has - much to everyone's surprise - managed to depose the
dictatorial government of this Solomani world.Within the past ten days, a
wave of general strikes has paralyzed major population centers across
Twilight. When the planetary government attempted to crack down, Home Guard
units went over to the strikers and attacked government secret-police troops.
As of today, rebels appear to be in control of the capital city and have
announced the capture or exile of the former government's top
officials.Twilight has long been ruled by the autocratic Chissano family.
Since the outbreak of the revolt, few members of the clan have been accounted
for, but most appear to have fled off-world. The most prominent member of the
family is Marc Chissano, who currently holds the office of Secretary-General
of the Solomani Confederation.Ω
