Die Walküre Stuttgart, New Berlin, Frankfurt
Combat Event
OVERVIEW
Following months of instability, the Imperialists have begun their attempt to seize power in Rheinland. Large swathes of the Rheinland Military has pledged allegiance to the Imperialists, while the Federal government has fled New Berlin with support of the MND and loyalist forces. The Karlsruhe and Bayern has declared for the Federalist side, and elements of the Koblenz fleet have also remained loyal. Thuringia was immediately locked down by the Bayern and any imperial elements are being expunged. Fighting is fiercest in Stuttgart, with elements of the Altenburg fleet already making for the planet to dislodge the Federalists holding the planet orbit. Much remains unknown, but what is certain, is that Civil war is afoot.

Well RFP| has returned since a few days ago and have always (well, since they were last OF) been strongly tied with the imperial party.
As 2ic I can vouch that the faction would like to be involved in the event on imperial side
Can someone please provide some sort of overview of that's happening? Who are the Federalists, who are the Imperialists, why does BDM take one and RM the other side? I haven't been very active recently, I would like to partake in this storyline, but I'm stepping in the dark.

The Imperialists are the forces of the Rheinland Military who are supporting a coup to reinstate the Rheinland Empire (y'know, the one that dissolved after that really fun war with the GMG three centuries ago).
The Federalists are the forces of the Rheinland Military who continue to support the Federal Chancellor's forces alongside the BDM| and the MND.
The [RM] were the ones who primarily pushed this concept forward, I think, and it's been building up since BDM| pulled their forces from the war with Kusari to contain the threat in Thuringia.
It's all a big web of lies, deceit, 'he-said-she-said' bull that most coups are made of.
Over the last two patches we added several in-game news articles to give some foreshadowing.
1, Election in Rheinland sees a coalition government between Federalists and Bundies. Federalists hint towards legalizing bundies. Imperial Party however grows significantly.
2. Arson attack on the house of the heir to the defunct imperial throne while doing political speeches on Hamburg.
3. Riots break out over the legalization of the bundies and the "assassination" attempt on the political figure above leads to mass causalities, or minimal casualties depending on the news you read.
This event happens. When the update drops some new articles, including a forum post, will be posted. For now, roleplay where we are and pick your side.
