History
The troubles begin
The provincial government of Penegyar had requested economical assistance and more autonomy in the 2960s without any significant results. The apparent lack of interest from the federal government combined with the growing poverty in Penegyar and the extreme measures taken by the provincial government to keep the population under control lead to widespread unrest in some of the districts in Penegyar.
The instability of certain districts of the Sultanate was noted in the Federal Parliament as early as 2980s, but the federal government lacked the political unity and vision to properly deal with the problem.
The 2990s saw the first wave of major attacks targeting the local administrations of the districts. During the 90s a culture of terrorism was born, targeting Penegyrian police and military forces sent to stabilize the regions.
The Pharron Rebellion
In 3011 rebel factions started an uprising in the northern parts of Penegyar. The attacks gained a lot of attention, and suprisingly some support outside the northern Penegyar. With first casualties in the federal civilian personnel due to the terrorist attacks, the federal parliament was forced to act. An AFD task force was assigned to suppress the uprising in 3012. The use of the 'mech battalions quickly broke up the rebellion, but the war of the 3012 did not stop the rebels, it only drove them underground.
The rebellion gained a lot of support from all over Penegyar, because in the poor parts of Penegyar the mech forces were seen as Cayerlonian troops, even if the federal force consisted of soldiers from each province.
The War Is Here
The 3013 Gaendana Barracks bombing against the AFD's 13th Protector BattleMech Company base killed 61 AFD soldiers, 12 Shining Sabres of Penegyar soldiers and an estimate of 200 local workers and civilians. A direct assault against the base followed the bombing, resulting in the death of 7 Penegyrian soldiers. The main goal of the Dhabihu Dhabu terrorists was to kill the AFD MechWarriors and to destroy the BattleMechs stationed in the base. The number casualties was small only due to luck.
The federal parliament gave a statement, that the federal government will no longer tolerate the unlawful actions of the rebel factions in Penegyar. A military operation was started to wipe out the insurgency, but after a few months of quick victories for the federal troops the rebels learned not to oppose mech forces in the open. The insurgency turned into low profile querilla/terrorist campaign, and the federal troops turned into "an occupation force".
As the rebel attacks faded into harassment and minor terrorist attacks, the federal parliament declared victory, and the situation was handed over to the Penegyrian military and police forces.
Anton's Revolt
In 3015 over twenty core members of the Assembly of Provinces of Dalcour were arrested by Free World League's SAFE operatives for treason against the Free Worlds League. Among the arrested parliament members were four members of The Great Assembly. The Assembly was temporarily dismissed by the order of the Council of Judges, and new provincial elections were set to be held in January 3016.
The political chaos was unheard of, and a large parts of the federal government for all practical purposes ceased to function.
