• It was a historical event.

Description (Specifications)

The leaders of the Seventeen Day Democracy, as the period of government of the deposed revolutionaries came to be known, formed the Democratic Government in Exile of Rabwhar (DGER), based on the world Shirene (Spinward Marches 2125). They still claim to be the legitimate rulers of Rabwhar.

History & Background (Dossier)

In the year 1095 a particularly unpopular monarch on the world of Rabwhar (Spinward Marches 1822) was deposed in a palace coup, abdicating as revolutionaries took control of the capital city and set up a new government led by his popular niece. The new government was short-lived, however, as planetary armed forces took control of the situation shortly thereafter and forced the leaders of the movement into offworld exile, leading to the formation of a military dictatorship led by the commanding General of the Rabwhar Army.
