The Rebellion

The Rebellion was a radical offshoot branch of the Resistance in response to the rise of the Pzar Vonvage. After the execution of Pzarty II and the relief experienced at the overall more lax and friendly autocracy introduced by Pzar Vonvage, discussions of a ceasefire - or at the least, a slowing of the war machine - in the Resistance arose. As Raw Spit, after much deliberation, backed this notion of non-aggression, a number of dissatisfied and angry Resistance members formed the Rebellion to actively stand against the Pzar. As alternative music was still outlawed and punishable worldwide (save a small island legalised in early days of the third Pzar as a means for alternative release - much the same as the reasoning behind the Purge - to attempt to ease tensions between the autocracy and Resistance), the Rebellion reasoned that the purpose of the Resistance had not been accomplished, and so forceful opposition remained necessary. They took the conditions and campaign strategies that had shaped Resistance offensive policy during the extensive Redwater Campaign and utilised it as a basic level of force to adhere to. From this arose a number of moral and ethical concerns within members of the Resistance and general public - however there was also growing support for the Rebellion outlook. After learning of the Bolkhovsky Experiments on hollows authorised by the Rebellion, the Resistance cut all resource supply, and issued a mandatory cease and desist, warning that intervention would be unavoidable if the Rebellion failed to comply. The Rebellion did not comply, and instead launched a strike on Blood Hill, which was met with hostility from the Resistance. The Alternative Civil War was kickstarted as a result of this, and occupied most of the time the third Pzar sat in office. SUCK, realising the lengths to which the Rebellion was willing to take the conflict, abandoned the Rebellion and returned to the Resistance to lead forces alongside Raw Spit. This, along with the final stretch of the Redwater Campaign, is one of the few instances of the two powerhouse rivals working together.

After a long, desperate, and dirty war, the Rebellion was crushed, and the Resistance begun negotiations for a peace truce with Pzar Vonvage. Significant progress was made before Cynthia Babbic assassinated her, and became Pzar Babbic, effectively nullifying any progress made with Pzar Vonvage, and implemented old policies to crack down on alternative activity.
