Galactic Rebellion

The Galactic Rebellion is a massive force primarily of use in the War of Unification, founded and led by Yjimo Asamazi, which remained neutral and the intermediary between the Great Empire and Big Red Partnership's conflict. After the war was effectively avoided, the rebellion remains, getting involved in other conflicts and representing a third party.

Background
Yjimo Asamazi, a crazed revolutionary anarchist, formed the rebellion in Age 1480, and gained mass popularity as the message spread through space. He believed and advocated for independent anarchist governments, or 'states', but could be interpreted in any way, as long as it was anti-big business and anti-corruption (like most large space empires at the time). Asamazi had 'dirt' on many empires, talked down about them, and encouraged rebellion (as he attempted to overthrow Planet Tazba's government).

However after 3 years of radicalism, Asamazi was captured and imprisoned on Tazba (controlled by Big Red), and the message was put down by the corrupt space superpowers that had control over planets to prevent rebellion. With this, the rebellion halted, as his release was fought over but failed for 20 years. In 1502, President Hanna Rune of Earth (of the Great Empire) began negotiating his release, but due to the rivalry and conflict between TGE and Big Red at the time, it was difficult.

Eventually efforts were successful, after Rune used the Hope Special Forces to intimidate Tazba, resulting in Yjimo Asamazi's release on 12 August 1503. Immediately, the rebellion was reformed and gained much support, as space split over which side to choose; the Great Empire or the Big Red Partnership. This was Hanna Rune's clever move; she revived the rebellion to lure BRP supporters into neutrality (since she knew she couldn't get them on her side). The Dupont Family, a mafia, funded the rebellion and supplied them with arms. The new TGE emperor, Torhnir Otanyu, helped ease tensions with his mastery of diplomacy, and by 1505, the war was effectively avoided.

The Rebellion now has many chapters throughout space, which gain third-party power within governments and empires, and help with conflicts.
