Federal Civil War

Federal Civil War is an ongoing conflict within the Coldyria Starzone in the planet of Symphony, the last Sovereign Sphere Federation controlled settlement. The war began with a military coup led by Admirals Pedro Cogominho and Thomas Colville who wished to recontinue the Terra-Federation War. The National Federalist Front, as it became known as, then got a surge of volunteers from previous veterans of the Federal Star Fleet beginning to fight for the Federal National Army. The neo-nazi organization, Atomwaffesöhne also used the Civil War in order to bolster it's influence and is aiming to fulfill the Final Crucible.

Battle of the Crucifix
The Crucifix is a strait that halves the landmasses of Aca and Aruja. The Crucifix became the centrepoint of the war, as both sides fight over the control of the strait. The Battle of the Crucifix begun almost as soon as the Civil War itself. The first exchange of fire was reported in 17th September 120, after which both sides deployed armored formations to the area. The first Mechsuits entered the battle in early October, and the first Mech-on-Mech combat was recorded in 6th October between a Federal Tortoise and a Nationalist Odin. The Odin, piloted by Nathaniel St.Martin won the fight.

In the wake of this duel, the Crucifix became a hot spot for Mech combat and it became a romanticized 'Arena of Knights ' to many.
