===== Sovian Insurgency =====
===== Sovian Insurgency =====
Pirater, the former leader of Sovia, was extremely vocal on both the subreddit and in the server's global chat, and thus managed to succeed in stirring up anti-Nyasan and anti-UNC sentiment in some quarters, particularly in random newfriends who he harangued. The lack of involvement by the Channers, combined with the stated motivation to 'free Sovia' among insurgents, led to this being known as the Sovian insurgency.
Pirater, the former leader of [[Sovia]], was extremely vocal on both the subreddit and in the server's global chat, and thus managed to succeed in stirring up anti-Nyasan and anti-[[UNC]] sentiment in some quarters, particularly in random newfriends who he harangued. The lack of involvement by the [[Jargon|Channers]], combined with the stated motivation to 'free Sovia' among insurgents, led to this being known as the Sovian insurgency.


The insurgency was rapidly heavily infiltrated by UNC agents, giving extensive information on planned attacks and storage locations; this was of great use to countinsurgency operations, a great number of which focused on locating and confiscating remaining stockpiles of TNT and End Crystals.

On the 13th, a brief and abortive attack on Palgrave took placeby one of Pirater's recruited newfriends, AngryPepsi; he was very quickly pearled having dealt nearly no damage to the city, though equipped with a number of End Crystals and TNT. Having been spoken to by Nyasans, who generally understood him to be a confused newfriend, he was judged to pose no further threat and given the option to pay his way out of imprisonment with diamonds or face a week's sentence. Using funds that were later understood to be lent by Pirater, he quickly paid his 'bail', and relocated to Icenia. He soon launched another attack against the Bloom-Icenia rail line, on the 15th, before being quickly pearled.

Icenia generated a brief period of concern among the UNC as a potential terrorist haven; many of the attackers, not just Sovians but Channer as well, had taken up residency there while exile-pearled, and LordChieftan in fact once held government office. These eventually led to an eruption of tensions with neighbouring Bloom, with [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/bdhrdv/bloomians_have_griefed_the_icenian_rail_which_we/ one private citizen illegally blocking off the rail line to Icenia]. UNC-Icenian negotiations obtained consensus however, and the Icenian authorities would soon crack down on insurgent stockpiles within their land and enact searches of the residences of the former attackers, locating most of the materiel that would have been used for future attacks.
