Outsider Insurgency

A continuation of the Stranded insurgencies that plagued COG survivors after the Sinking of Jacinto, the Outsider Insurgency refers to organized resistance against the forces of the reformed Coalition of Ordered Governments and its splinter state, the Confederation of Ordered Governments, by various Outsider settlements, themselves a successor group to the Stranded. Almost immediately after the end of the devastating Locust War, Stranded groups began pushing back against the forces of the new COG, whom were seeking to rebuild human civilization. The Stranded believed that if the COG succeeded, then they would simply place them all under a dictatorial regime, and so many groups banded together and resisted violently, though this attacks would usually be put down. As the COG began building walls around their settlements to protect themselves from Sera's increasingly violent weather patterns, the Stranded evolved into the Outsider movement and became much more settled and organized, living in self-sustaining communities rather than rundown shanty towns, though they still occasionally launched raids on COG territory for supplies they could not obtain otherwise.

In 31 A.E., the COG suffered from a small-scale civil war as the city of Clayvale launched a rebellion against the increasingly fascist government of First Minister Jinn. Founding their own Confederacy and joined by several other city-states, they opted for a policy of diplomacy and cooperation with the Stranded, offering them protection and supplies in exchange for integration and food. While many more accepted this and joined the new government, many more turned away with suspicion and anger. As the Confederacy continued to expand into the ruins of Tyrus and neighboring countries, many of these villages would band together, attacking Confederate patrols and outposts like the Stranded before them.
