The streets were choked with corpses riddled by bullets. Although the conflict started just four days ago, it has managed to cripple the whole nation. Supreme Marshal Sereter Varsek was inside bunker, along with a few members of the SSP and the Helsarian Security Agency (or HSA, the secret police of the militaristic regime). The military has been ordered to exterminate any and all hostiles, regardless of ethnicity, gender, age or anything.
A small group of communist dissidents were hiding inside a run-down building, taking turns at keeping watch in case the military showed up and tried to kill them. This small group was actually a lookout squad of the Red Helsarian Party (RHP), a political organization which was banned long ago, but continued to exist as an underground guerrilla movement. The RHP has currently started an operation to attempt to capture the Marastoy Military Base, which is 28 kilometers away from Beelziker City, and which contains 2 nuclear missiles. The siege of the base is currently in a stalemate, with neither side managing to gain a decisive victory over the base.
Another faction, calling itself the ''League for Freedom'', has yesterday managed to completely take over Revolution City, and have since been trying to reach peace talks with the government, but any attempt at resolving the conflict peacefully has failed.
The rest of the Helsarian citizens are just randomly looting stores and burning buildings, in order to show their strong opposition to the government.
The LFF (League for Freedom) has addressed this message to the international community:
Greetings, esteemed heads of state.
As you may or may not have heard, there is currently an all-out civil war in Helsary. The conflict is primarily between 2 oppressive groups: our current government, which is a military dictatorship that brutally gets rid of anyone who even lifts a finger against it's atrocities, and a group of communist rebels, who plan on changing the current dictatorship for another. We ask you for your help, either directly or indirectly. Please, help us finally reach a state where people are allowed to think for themselves.
Signed,
Haarst Wellade, president of the League for Freedom.
It yet remains to be seen if any other nation will choose to support someone in this conflict.
