Description
In the Early months of 2771, the Confederacy experienced turmoil when the member state-nation of the Confederacy, the RSC, had received an anonymous tip with information of an internal political plot by the Nationalist party. Supplies and military weapons were being sold and smuggled to the rogue nation made up of pirates, raiders, smugglers, and other rogue elements, for them to continue a war with the Confederacy. The plot was created so that the Confederacy would, in turn, update their decades old and outdated military, increase said military spending, and be able to properly fulfill the agreement to defend the outer system-states. On top of that, the Nationalists had hoped that paying the rogue nation would bribe them out of attacking border systems, which they agreed to, and begin attacking inner systems belonging to the middle and central ring, which the Rogue Nation also did. The Nationalists hoped that those confederate systems would finally contribute more to the military and to the defensive pact made by all member-states of the Confederacy. In the end, their plan did not come to fruition.
Having known for some time of the Nationalist party's militaristic and often shady dealings for some time, the government sent agents to round up those in the party and hold them accountable. In the next meeting of Congress, those who weren't arrested in the night were publicly ousted by the other representatives. This, however, did nothing but fuel more resentment in the end towards the Confederacy and expose publicly yet more of its corruption to the public. As it was, most nationalist member-states were comprised of systems that had already been long since harassed by pirates, or been ignored and outspoken when it came to their political voice. And many others not even part of the Nationalists had already been regretting their membership into an already failing government.

The result was outer rim colonies leaving the Confederacy en masse. Whereas the middle ring and the central ring of colonies stayed, having been long unaffected by the war, or raids due to sitting more comfortably inside the Confederate military circle, those outside of those rings had been constantly attacked, having to fend off raids with their own feeble military, or be ransacked while waiting on an overstretched and short-staffed Confederate Federal military to arrive far too late. Leaving the Confederacy. Leaving the Confederacy which was made as a defensive pact was always allowed, however, many systems were those both loyal to the Nationalists, and some even still held onto their ex-nationalist senators who escaped justice for plunging the Confederacy into a war with a nation of Pirates. Diplomacy and urging the now independent systems to hand over the senators and politicians responsible had, largely failed, though some did peacefully. Threats of war were made on both sides. Some of these systems immediately went to the Terran Federation, offering to allow the Terrans to build military bases in their borders in return for protection. (An offer that would give the Federation a much closer vantage point to the Azen Empire's borders) An offer that the Terrans gladly accepted from numerous systems. However, those that Terra declined their offer, or those who didn't even make an offer began to panic. As the Confederate military was beginning to mobilize. The Systems hastily formed their own alliance on the world of Varnim. They called themselves the Varnim Pact. With their citizens returning home and their soldiers, who were at one time with the Confederate Federal military having returned, the Varnim Pact states had massed an experienced army. Their Naval power was made up of their personal system navies or those ships who had crews that sympathized against the corruption of the Confederacy. With both armies massed, the Confederacy issued one last demand for those responsible for treason to be handed over.

The Pact nations all in one voice declined.

And in May of 2771 the Confederacy went to war.
--------------------------------------------------------

When the Confederates initially attacked Eberus, a former agricultural planet in the first battle between the Pact and Confederacy in May 2771, they were met with minimal resistance. The Navy defending it fled nearly immediately, only losing one frigate after a very small and very quick exchange of missiles with the Confederate fleet after exiting slipspace. The fleet proceeded to scan the planet. Military installations had been hastily abandoned, sabotaging vehicles and heavy equipment that couldn't be evacuated. Within the first two weeks, there was next to no exchange with gunfire, or even encounters with the local garrison. Confederate soldiers patrolled the cities and streets meeting no resistance. The navy untouched in orbit, some even being recalled to prepare for more fronts. In the confederacy the first battle was being reported as a sweeping success of confederate military genius.

Then, on the 15th day at noon in the capital on the dot, the presumed civilian population attacked the confederate army. Only after did they realize a large portion of the civilians were the defending army. Tanks and armored vehicles, hidden in warehouses, factories, storage units, and first floors of buildings proceeded to reveal themselves, gunning down the occupying army. In the country and mountains, remaining units, hiding in the deep woods, or in mountain bases came out. Everything from farms to vineyards became a Pact outpost, hosting some form of military vehicle or weapon. The Pact Navy, that was believed to have fled due to superior Confederate Navy, had not left the system at all, only a small portion of them, which soon returned that same day. The two fleets cut off the confederate fleet, and proceeded to inflict large casualties after a reinforcing 3 battleships from the pact had been in waiting just in the next system over. After months of holdout, the first battle of Eberus was a colossal defeat for the confederacy. The first battle of the war, in just around a month, had ended.

More Confederacy stuff

Was gonna put more detail, shading, and stuff. But these images with like, details out the ass I don't want to end up killing myself on. Just decided to leave it as simple shading and coloring
