The Renkethi Uprising

The Renkethi Uprising lasted 4 years and is considered one of the bloodiest civil wars ever in the empire's history. Fought between militant remnants of the former Kingdom of Renketh defeated in the War of the West, these Renkethi Rebels overthrew the local government on Renketh III and created a short lived separatist breakaway state in the system, and at one point controlled 3 separate star systems. The undermanned local garrisons were overrun and the ensuing conflict led to a nearly 2 year long siege of Renketh III. That brutal siege culminated in the Battle of Pont Degos in 1296 AT during which Prince Meleth, the leader of the Renkethi Rebels, was slain leading to the Rebels' surrender and the reintegration of Renkthi into the Empire.
