The Kel-Elemi Civil War is an ongoing violent conflict in the Collective Kel-Elemi Republic. Following the Seireimeiko, and the death of President Robert Grayson, Sorewa Liberation Uprising forces attacked cities and took control of many major parts of the Kel-Elemi islands.
Background
The Sorewa Liberation Uprising (SLU) was formed on 5-1 9 PC to oppose the government of the Collective Kel-Elemi Republic (CKER) with the goal of ending the oppresion of the Sorewa people that the government had supported since the establishment of the CKER and to establish their own state seperate from the CKER. The CKER became aware of the SLU on 1-2 9 PC. President of the Collective Kel-Elemi Republic, Robert Grayson ordered a crack down on people advocating for Sorewa rights, inadvertently strengthening the SLU's numbers.
On 28-3 10 PC, the SLU bombed and sunk the ATFS Arakar of the Akarian Trade Fleet. The ship was one of several responsible for shipping zaahr from Kel-Elemi to Tietero. The majority of the companies supplying zaahr to the ATF were either state-owned or owned by Robert Grayson and his political allies providing the government revenue. The bombing triggered riots and political instablity across Kel-Elemi known as the Seireimeiko.
On 7-4 10 PC, rioters stormed the Bluerock House and killed Robert Grayson. Trent Veersham succeeded him as president. Shortly after Grayson's death, rioters affiliated with the SLU began forming platoons.
Initial conflict
Upon his ascension to the presidency Trent Veersham declared the Kel-Elemi was now in a state of war and vowed to avenge Grayson's death.
The day after the war's start, Nodakh, a city in northern Corralith Island was largely destroyed by SLU fighters.
The Sorewa Liberation Uprising began the Siege of Yenakapol on 9-4 10 PC.
Foreign intervention
On 10-4 10 PC, the Eastern Bloc, with approval from Veersham, established Neerakta Base on Keral Island to facilitate their intervention against the SLU.
