With each day that passes, the Bernese Civil Rebellion continues to grow in scale. While Ilian officials initially dismissed the rebel movement as a short lived, small scale, easily squelched revolt, the chaos of the Massacre of the Arena followed by the fall of Fort Macendew to the rebel forces of Aidan Lowell, the so-called Symbol of the Rebellion, has forced them to reassess the situation. Security has begun to crack down in western Bern, but Aidan's major victory has emboldened citizens discontent under Ilia's occupation to rise up and fight back, spreading the fires of rebellion across the countryside.
This has marked a major shift in occupier politics, as Ilia has commanded its own forces and those Bernese loyal to them to prepare for all out war. Security forces in the west have increased their presence and activity to compensate for the loss of territory, but find themselves continually battered by rebel uprisings. Occupying forces have begun to bolster their forts along the Rhine River, attempting to create a wall of safety between western Bern and eastern Bern while they plan their attack.
