Now into its fifth day, the Eranin civil war has escalated quickly.
The system’s independence celebrations saw mass exports of celebratory liquor, a practice banned in short order by the Federation.
The perceived Federal opposition to the Independent communist regime sparked anti-government protests and the rise of pro-Federation rebels in Eranin.
War erupted on September 26 and spilled out of the system with rebel attacks on targets in Wyrd, and retaliation against Federal Navy assets in i Bootis by Eranin Defense Forces.
At the weekend, Azeban’s provincial city of New Fresno fell to the pro-Federation rebels, triggering an exodus of loyalist refugees.
Rumors persist of Imperial involvement.
