The St. Olga Uprising was an ongoing insurgency that began on the 11th of December when the Federation of Mutualists and Agrarians declared their independence as a commune in St. Olga, a settlement in Faru's far east.

Context

The Federation had been growing in membership and popularity. They vouched for left wing and radical ideas which caused tensions with the largely liberal and conservative government. During the October elections, the Mutualist candidate Milenkovic won. Later, Melenkov, another Mutualist, became the Minister of Defense of the government. The media would portray their administration as ineffective, which led to both the president and Minister of Defense being sacked from government. The FMA, realizing they cannot accomplish their goals within the Faru system, went out to the far east in a small villa named St. Olga and established a socialist government. They declared their independent on the 11th of December citing past radical revolutions.

Uprising

Though the communards declared their peaceful intentions, the media and government saw it as a insurrection and reacted as such.

Interior Campaign of the 11th

The day of the declaration, the government organized the Farun Armed Forces to put down the independent commune at St. Olga. The Defense Minister that replaced Melenkov, S'yerra Volchok, led the campaign. As the troops approached the commune, the Faruan soldiers were met with resistence. Shortly after the fighting started, Volchok lost control of her army. Chaos followed as Faruan soldiers began looting and pillaging the settlement; in the fog of the battle, the communards were able to escape without any loses. After the soldiers left, the communards returned. News of the campaign was ridiculed in the press for not accomplishing much aside from destroying infrastructure. Following the battle, the communards started rebuilding the commune. After the failed Interior Campaign, members of the Federation began discussing taking defensive measures to secure their existence.
