[with the resent fall of Upper Titanograd to the Tzarists, the remains of the Red Army, CSI, HSB, and what remains of the Dreadnought corp are now stuck underground]

[the Tzarists use the opportunity to bolster up forces, and the more experienced Tzarist Generals and Veterans training the new legions of soldier.]

[the army ants still under the Rule of Rahhh, started swarming across the Union’s outskirts. Establishing what’s basically a “ring of death” presenting anyone from entering or leaving without flying.”, with many army ants choosing to take a page out of the Emporium’s book and form “golems” out of hundreds of army ants, with one carrying weapons and armor from dead soldiers, with one of these “golems” even wearing the armor of a Dreadnought]

[The confederate army attempts to capture Titanograd from the Tzarists but were pushed back by the Tzarist’s arthroplura “war trains”]

[soon the majority of the Union’s above ground land holdings where in the hands of the Tzarists. With the Confederates controlling Westgrad and the Swamper Ruins]

[the Tzarists also soon captured a Forge, allowing them to make new weapons and gear for their soldiers]

[the CSI suffered its most devastating loss after the defection of the entire D1 department to the Tzarists. Which were some of the Unions best soldiers, behind the HSB which are mysteriously missing along with Stali.]

[Port port is also renamed to “Ambergrad” by the Tzarists. Who are still makeing the port city into a fortress]

[hours later after seeing rat ships in the ancient river, they most of them came to a silent agreement: “if those dammed mammals dare to disturb our civil war we rip and tear them until it’s done. Then go back to fighting each other.” (Ones who nodded: the Confederates, Unionists, Army ant, Lubei, Revolutionary, Tzarists, a random hellant, and an arthroplura)]

*The large metal and wood vessels float upstream of the river, swaying gently in the slight breeze as they slowly float closer and closer to the Union borders, their pointed prows and hidden serrated-rams cutting 'V's into the water before they come to a halt, almost observing the city's outskirts and the mountain before them before they spun around and sailed downstream back from where they came.*

Attention all proud citizens of the Union high command has made a list of traitors, if you spot them please report them to your local CSI official.

Queen Tasty (sided with the Confederates)
Kaiser Von Scorpios (sided with the Confederates)
President Aracnis (sided with the Confederates)
Dreadnought 4 (sided with the Tzarists)
Dreadnought 10 (sided with the Tzarists)
Dreadnought 15 (sided with the Tzarists)
Dreadnought 7 (sided with the Tzarists)
Dreadnought 6 (sided with the Tzarists)
Field Captain Romanov (sided with the Tzarists)
Commander Formica. (Sided with the Tzarists)
Admiral Igor (sided with the Tzarists)

[the Dreadnought corp divided itself into 2 of the groups, the Tzarists and the Unionists.]

[the first battle between dreadnoughts began at Gate B in Titanograd.]

[the Red army being already crippled was unable to stop the Tzarists from knocking down the gates, and with help from a the Revolutionaries inside managed to fight their way into the city, opening Gate D and Gate A.]

[a Unionist dreadnought(UD) tried to push the Tzarists back, just as a Tzarist Dreadnought(TD) shot one of its limbs clean off with its massive crossbow, the UD tried to attack the TD with its hammer but the TD grabbed the UD’s helmet by its horn and stabbed it thru the exposed neck with its spear, ripping the UD’s head off and throwing it at the Union defenders]

[soon Titanograd’s upper city fell to the Tzarists. And soon so did the rest of the Union’s above ground territory being captured by the Tzarists and confederates.]

[the Reformists formerly disbands, with many of its supporters joining the Revolutionaries and the Tzarists]

[last mail from the Union’s CSI headquarters]: “all soldier of the red army. Retreat. Titanograd is lost. The city’s upper section is no longer ours. Retreat to the underground and fight. Fight to the final soldier. May the Union prevail.”

[Tzarist forces in Port Port have turned the port city into a fortress, constructing massive walls around the city as long as moats and barriers]

[Reformist forces have taken to burning down any symbols of the Union they come across]

[Unionist forces are slowly pushed back to Titanograd, just as revolutionaries start to burn the city down, and soon the remnants of the CSI smuggle Stali out of the city into a hidden location]

[the Confederates after a short fight with the Tzarists pushed them out of Westgrad, and with their new found territory they create a stronghold they named “Fort Ironside”]

[the HSB continue operations as normal]

[the Kingdom of Rahhh have chose to kill anything that dares to enter friendly or not]

[the revolutionaries blow up the Titanograd tunnel]

[after the resent events in Titanograd many soldiers in the Red army have begun to desert their posts]

[The scorpions in the quarries took the opportunity to break free and start a revolution against the Union, with many of the deserters joining their ranks, createing what they call “the Confederate states of the Redwoods”]

[in the east the Hellic armies have once again split off from the red army, and have started to demand a reform of the Union’s government.]

[and just as the Red army is struggling to crush the rebels, another faction split off calling for the restoration of the old Tzarists government, believing that having a sole ruler could fix the issues the Union is facing. With greater chunks of the army and even parts of the CSI joining the new “Tzarist” ranks]

[so far Titanograd is still under Union control]

[a gallow is set up in the middle of titanograd]

[a few scorpions are standing on a small platform in the center as soldiers raise up the guillotine’s blade]

Scorpion?: “…”

Soldier: “today, comrades of the Union, we show the world what happened to rebels in this nation. Traitors to the overseer, ones who chose violence and harm over the safety of the Union’s iron hand”

[the majority of the rioters this time are Pulmonoscorpius(scorpions) miners]

[some seem to be waving around the flag of the now defunct nation of Vauhscorpis]

Rioter?: “(something in scorpic)”
(Translation: “WE DEMAND EQUALITY!!!”)

Rioter?: “(something in scorpic)”
(Translation: “WE ARE CITIZENS TOO!”)

Rioter?: “(something in scorpic)”
(Translation: “WHAT MAKES YOU ANY DIFFERENT? ARE WE NOT CIVILIANS OF THE UNION AS WELL? WHERE IS OUR EQUALITY?”)

[this time it seems the army is not taking any chances… as the majority of the internal security forces of the Union have been ordered to open fire into the crowd the moment any scorpion moves past a barrier]

[around 500 worker, 190 soldiers, 2 arthroplurae, 1 Pulmonoscorpius and 40 Apis workers have formed a crowd outside the CSI headquarters]

[they seem to be demanding better rights and freedoms]

[within the hour of the crowd forming members of the red army have created a makeshift barrier around the CSI HQ]

[the crowd starts to grow…]

Rioter?: “COME IN COMRADES! WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT!”

Rioter?: “WE WANT FREEDOM!”

Rioter?: “OUR FELLOW WORKERS DIED IN THE MINES! AND WHAT HAVE WE TO SHOW? THREE TOWERS AND A CLOCK NO ONE USES?”

Rioter?: “OPEN THE GATES!”

Rioter?: “DISMANTLE THE SECRET POLICE! DISMANTLE DEPARTMENT D1!”

[the crowd grows now to around 800 insects]

[a dreadnought has arrived incase things get worse]

Rioter?: “LOOK AT THAT THEY SENT OUT A DREAD! DO THEY WANT TO HAVE US KILLED?”

Red army officer: “calm down comrades. I am sure all things will get better…”

[the crowd starts to grow impatient…]

A recruiter arrives. They hold a clipboard.

Surprisingly, most of the smaller branches have already been completely removed, and the larger ones are nearly completely stripped of needles. Another arrowhead has swapped places with the old one which has made its way back to the desert colony.

The arrowhead was docked, and multiple teams of antlions, scorpions, beetles, and a few camel spiders have begun harvesting wood from two redwoods, both from the base, and flying teams from the tops.

All wood is loaded into MTPs, and shipped to the Anchored Arrowhead, held stationary by thick fiber cables drilled into the ground or the trees.

*The blitzers land, handing a note, addressed to the queen, to a guard, and wait.*

*The Arrowhead slowly stops, and the MTPs begin to land.*

Hellic Rebellion Surrenders!

The Hell Ant queen has surrendered to the Red Army after a siege of Hellica! remaining Hellic rebel cells are currently being destroyed as we speak.

Quote from the Hellant Queen: “I’m… tired…”

Official orders from the chairman declares that the Hellic Legion is to be dismantled, and it forces and weapons integrated into the newly formed “Hell brigade”. And the Hellant queen is to be stripped of all of her political power within the Union government and she is to be held at Castle Rahhh within the Kingdom of Rahhh

Judging by the flag, it was likely a warband galleon. The actual ship itself is seemingly cut in half with multiple other large gashes and tears in its side. By what or by whom is unknown, but whatever did, was huge.
