Xendark Rebellion

The Xendark Rebellion was the collective name used for the multiple revolts and rebellions on the Capital city, Novisia that lead to the dissolution of The First Empire.

Beginnings
During a period of strict authority, the First Empire was in complete of a large amount of the galaxy, their rules punished all those who dare resist. It didn't help that the current emperor, Aetius I's incompetence and the failing of the Empire's economy led to a galaxy wide depression with millions becoming poor and homeless. Many protested but they would be publicly executed as a sign to not rebel, this only caused more anger to spread throughout the empire. It would come to a boiling point when Aetius I was discovered of holding food and money away in his personal domain, outrage sparked in not only the people but also the army. Armies along with local militia rose up against the authorities, the battle of Aetius Dam saw the Imperial forces explode the dam, causing the flooding of the city, Agotoria. The imperial capital, Novisia wasn't even safe with half of the city falling to militiamen.

Middle Stages
With professional armies and the mass amounts of local support, the rebellion had spread throughout the imperial planet along with the entire empire, many fighting for independence. The empire was stretched thin, massacres happened on both sides, Imperials executing innocent civilians in masses while the locals executing surrendered soldiers and politicians. With other national governments getting involved, more and more planets fell.

Resolution
With the the rebels on the gates of Aetius's imperial palace, the war was over and Aetius knew if he didn't surrender now, he would be killed. The next day, the former emperor surrendered along with his imperial guard. The main organiser of the rebellion, Petro Aggatod would hold the negotiations among multiple other warlords and leaders of other nations to divide the empire, giving independence to most territories with a few transfers to the involved nations. Aetius would also be exiled to an unknown location.
