The first day after the Republican Uprising was eerily quiet. Even in the great city-planets, few voidcraft traveled through any sky-lanes. Across the Empire, numerous buildings were on fire, damaged, or collapsed, and from the sky fell ashes. Slowly, like snow, and covered the ground alongside the dust and rubble. Scattered among the rubble where bodies and debris of vehicles, providing further proof of the bloody day before.

Where the Day of the Reds was packed with action, danger, and drama, today was quiet and solemn as both Loyalists and Republicans planned their next moves after the shocking simultaneous mass assault of the day before. Many worlds fell into Republican hands, essentially dividing the Empire, but still many maintained Imperial Rule, now both were quiet, consolidating their forces and control after the attacks. Media services were the only source of noise and seemed to be connected to every home and major public centers, playing out news from the night before, along with propaganda of certain factions.

On Republican and Imperial Worlds alike, agents and special forces hunted down remnant forces of the enemy to ensure no retaliation. However, things were different on planet-spanning cities. Instead, Republican and Imperial control were divided by districts. Districts were controlled by either faction and were being consolidated before any new offensives or counter-offensives would begin.

It had become clear to the Imperial High Council that the Sophicrats had not only become popular among the garrisons and the general population of the Empire, they found numerous military bases, armies, and naval groups suddenly out of contact with the High Command, and the symbol of the Republicans scrawled on any supporter. If the Sophicrats could have penetrated the Praefecti stationed throughout the Empire, who was to say they weren't already among the ranks of the High Council or Imperial Bureaucracy. Already by the Imperial Regent, the Emperor's Heir, Prince Tyrahius Jupitem Sorex, has disbanded the Imperial Senate and announced that all Senators would be placed under investigation for espionage and treason.

Meanwhile, far out of the reach of the Emperor, Consuls Benortius Aretullus and Lallona Macrance sat together in front of a media capture device speaking live to the Enyodean people. They spoke alternating by paragraph of the great vision, the cause of this bloodshed, and the solution.
"Siblings of Enyode, these dark days are to make for a brighter future. The end of the Empire and the birth of something greater, no longer will you have to toil for the profits of your corporate or feudal masters. But live in prosperity and grant a better future for our offspring and our great nation.

This Empire is not Eternal, these are among the many lies they have told you to keep you suppressed, to keep you content as the oppressed majority. Once we lived by a codex of laws and the Senate freely represented our people of all backgrounds. However, greed for wealth brought about change and our Republic failed, and fell into the despotism of today, but that too has fallen corrupt and inept that they could not even silence us, we who will bring about the greatest of change, the revolution of the Empire. We know how to eradicate the greed that has destroyed us by the source.

Those Duxes, Corporate leaders, and the Emperor himself all wish to prevent this, to allow the people to self-determine their power and liberate the wealth and material goods they have hoarded to make themselves superior to the rest. But they can hold us down no longer, the sparks have been ignited and our torch of liberty has been raised, and we will follow it to the Capital, to the Emperor, and free Enyode from Imperial chains for Enyode's sake!

Brothers and Sisters of Enyode, join our cause and fight for justice and liberty, you will find that those who support the cause are supported by us, together as one nation. You supporters of equality, justice, and liberty will be provided with all you need to join the fight in your own way to liberate Enyode. Join us as we break our people's chains!"

What the Consuls spoke of were Sophicrat Care Packages, incognito delivered goods to those who look for it which provide supplies for their own insurgency against the Empire, location of Republican cells within Imperial worlds and instructions for espionage and sabotage and remaining incognito, all in the name of freeing the Enyode from Imperial rule.
