A rebellion began 300 years before the events of The Scream, culminating in rebel Slyth engineering a plague that would be dropped on loyalist worlds. Originally target to be carrier by others, and only infectiously transmitted to lethality in the royal line, the genegineered virus mutated and soon spread to all Slyth.

Rise of the Tenebrian Empire
Civil actionThe Terran Mandate falls due to corruption by its interior ministers and its over-reliance on advanced AI. Thirteen organizations find themselves as the controlling interests of the emergent Tenebrian Empire, named after the informal agreement sworn between themselves on the Tenebrae space station. Although nominally allied, they begin to squabble for influence and command of the throne. Their reign meets challenges almost right away when the Luna colonies revolt and terraforming projects on Venus grind to a halt.

Peaceful Resolution of Luna Colony Revolt
Diplomatic actionAfter a tense month of negotiations the separatist movement on the Luna colonies has come to an end through predominantly peaceful means. Painstaking labor negotiations, preferential shipping contracts, and luxury procurement agreements formed the backbone of the deal- though the colonists also successfully lobbied for more autonomy in some local affairs. Thermopylae is predominantly credited with making the labor leader connections necessary for bringing the gas mining colony firmly back into Tenebrian Empire control- though other private interests have also been credited with greasing the bureaucratic wheels.
