Events Secession of Azaladshu FreeĪs tensions within the Federation reached fever-pitch over the issue of domestic surveillance, the first domino fell in the Azaladshu system in June 3307. This was exacerbated in early May 3307 by the defeat of a public initiative sponsored by Winters to circumvent the PDB by distributing legal technologies and techniques that Federal citizens could have used to guard against government intrusion, while a rival initiative sponsored by President Zachary Hudson succeeded in strengthening the PDB's capabilities. Systems within Winters's sphere of influence became increasingly disillusioned and convinced that the Federation had forsaken its commitment to individual liberty. Although the implementation of the Proactive Detection Bureau met with majority public approval, Shadow President Felicia Winters and others argued that the program was an unconstitutional burden on Federal citizens and did little to counter the NMLA, which used undetectable dark comms networks. This was spearheaded by Mitchell's successor as Vice President, former Federal Intelligence Agency director and Congressman Jerome Archer, who personally authored the Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act, which was designed to enhance Federal surveillance powers over public and private communications networks to locate Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army cells and other criminal organisations. The Nine Martyrs bombings on March 11, 3307, which claimed the lives of tens of thousands of Federal citizens and Vice President Brad Mitchell, drove a new focus on domestic security within the Federal government. The rebellion involved only a small fraction of the Federation's territory and population, and rebellious sentiment largely waned by November 3307, but despite the combined efforts of Federal diplomats and security forces, none of the Federal factions that attempted to secede during the crisis were successfully dissuaded or blocked from doing so. The resulting battle in Azaladshu between the forces of Azaladshu Free and the Federal loyalist faction Neche Inc concluded in victory for the former, which inspired more Federal factions to secede over the next few months. The conflict began on Jwith Mayor Constanza Noguera declaring the independence of her faction, Azaladshu Free, from the Federation, in blatant violation of the Federal Accord. The Federal Rebellion of 3307 was a wave of secessions of Federal member factions and systems provoked by dissent against the Proactive Detection Bureau, an invasive communications surveillance program run by the Federal Intelligence Agency for the purposes of identifying criminals and terrorists.
15 factions and 37 systems achieve independence from the Federation.
