The Kingdom of Astrium
History
Astrian Civil War 1986-1993
The Astrian Civil War broke out on the 19th April 1986, when the parliament building of Astrium, in Doldister, was stormed by the Revolutionary forces who detonated a bomb that killed the then king Fredrick IV and his High Minister, Lord Adam Falstirm. This act sent shockwaves through the Kingdom that resulted in the organised uprisings of Revolutionary forces all over the Astrian Isles, from here the leaders of Communists, Anarchists, and Republicans joined their manpower and revolts into one organised power that would stand a chance against the government and the Royal Armed Forces.
Ending and results of the Civil War
The end of the civil war on the 15th of October 1993, saw the Loyalists come out victorious, they had defeated the Revolutionaries in battles and assaults leaving hundreds to thousands dead. With this victory came the surrender of the Revolutionary leaders and their forces, most notably Commissar Adil Charles and Willard Travis, who were invited by King Alster I to the Palace of Bellington to agree to an unconditional surrender and sign the Treaty of Bellington that would force all of his troops to lay down arms and turn themselves in to the authorities.
After the signing of the Treaty of Bellington the King, Alster I, made a speech on how the ending of the civil war hade opened a new age for the kingdom to take, one without the same mistakes that their predecessors made and one that would strive for the future, towards technology, peace, and power.
While the speech and treaty was done, there were still fighters remaining in areas of the kingdom, holding onto a lost battle, these fighters fought until the bitter end and were all killed in action or captured and sentenced to death. Soon after any of those found to have taken part in the civil war against the Loyalists were immediately charged with treason and killed.
