The History of the Shattered Planet Party's [SPP] Formation

1-1110

The smuggled group of terrorists known by Imperium officials as the "Gang of 3" finds their way across the core of the Imperium with the help of the Ine Givar Organization.  The Glimmerdrift Reaches resides on the trailing edge of the Imperium. The Krax Confederation exists within this sector of space.

Sir James Filmore, Sean Billman, and Titus Cromwell find their way to the Farwall system in the Even Subsector of the Glimmerdrift Reaches.  Slndn Hktar, the son of the Baron of Farwall, has brought the bedragled men to his family's estate.  A rumor has taken hold within the Imperium that these men are dead.  One problem with rumors is they are usually false. Such is the case with the "Gang of 3."  It is here on Farwall where the seeds of The 3 Fists Triumvirate are planted, watered, and cared for until they sprout into a powerful political apparatus.

Discontent is growing on Farwall, as well as many other systems within the Krax Confederation.  Many believe officials of the confederacy are betraying their very own citizens.  Several contracts have been granted to Imperium Mega Corporations over those corporations that reside within the borders of the Krax Confederation.  Some powerful people within the Krax Confederation fear the Confederation will one day be absorbed into the Imperium.  This fear and concern came to a head when Baron Klyndn Hktar was arrested by the governing body of Farwell.  Evidence presented at his trial showed his involvement with a plot to secede governing authority of the Krax Confederation to that of the Imperium Government.  Baron Klyndn vehemently denied the accusations and claimed he was being framed.  He was found guilty and sentenced to death on 147-1111.  He was summarily executed the very same day.  The Baron's son, Slndn Hktar, pledged his undying loyalty to the people of Farwall and committed himself to defend the Krax Confederation's independence from the Imperium.  The uproar caused by the trial of Baron Klyndn and his involvement with the Imperium, forced the hands of government officials on Krax.  The ruling council on Krax voted unanimously with the ascension of Sldn Hktar to the position of Baron of Farwall.  Baron Sldn Hktar's first order of business was to establish a new political party on Farwall whose main purpose is to promote and defend the interests of the People of Krax.  That party was the Farwall Freedom Party.

1- 1113

The Farwall Freedom Party's first members were Sir James Fillmore, Sean Billman, Titus Cromwell, and Baron Sldn Hktar.  The party's message spread quickly and soon membership was growing at a rapid pace.  Confederacy officials on Farwall, as well as those on Krax, became concerned.  A growing hostility among the citizenry of the Krax Confederation with the Imperium government was becoming a real concern for these officials of the confederacy.  On 113 -1113, the Confederacy Ruling Council passed a resolution barring all members of the nobility throughout the Krax Confederation from membership to political parties on their respective systems.  This resolution became known as the "Imperium Dagger" to those citizens of the Krax Confederacy who despised the Imperium.  With the passing of this resolution, the "seed of civil war" had germinated.

1- 1114

Riots broke out on Farwall when news of the "Imperium Dagger" reached their ears.  Baron Slndn Hktar knew he was not in a position to oppose the hated resolution.  He resigned from the Farwall Freedom Party and made this now famous speech:

"It is now fully apparant where the hearts of our governing officials lie.  It is squarely in the camp of the Imperium.  I will honor this resolution as I officially withdraw my membership from the Farwall Freedom Party.  I do so not out of respect for the governing council on Krax, but out of my undying loyalty to the citizens of Farwall and to all freedom-loving citizens of the Krax Confederation.  I pledge my undying love for them and to them alone.  The traitors have made their bed with the Imperium.  They will have to lie upon it as well.  Loyal citizens will see this resolution for what it truly is.  A sellout to Imperium interests and a deep betrayal of the great people of the Krax Confederation.
My deepest desire is to see the rise of true leaders who will free us from the chains and shackles of Imperium oppression.  I believe those leaders are with us today.  My hope is they will take the initiative and lead us in the way of true freedom from Imperium slavery.  I believe they will."

249-1114
The Farwall Freedom Party officially disbands.


250 to 275 - 1114
