Terix II has experienced much strife and turmoil with terrorism, lack of resources, disease, and now a civil war. Yesterday a new faction formed on the planet, the Terix Republic. The Terix Republic was founded by a former Ambassador for the Proper Government, Taev tr'Velal. It's purpose is to go against the government without killing innocents or being overtly aggressive like Free Terix. Three cities have already joined and people are fleeing to those areas.
This new state isn't without opposition though. The Proper Government has now declared war on it since they are unable to convince them to rejoin, and the Federation does not recognize it as an official entity as of yet. This presents the problem of not being able to get support from Starfleet. The Proper Government has also not wasted any time in starting their war, with their first attack this morning by a small platoon. The Terix Republic, however ended up winning after a surprising number of the platoon's troops deserted and joined the Republic. The combined forces of the city's troops and the deserters were then able to get into defensive positions and keep the remaining attackers at bay.
Despite the Republic's objections to Free Terix's methods they have allowed their forces to move through the new state without trouble, though they do not share supplies. Tr'Velal claims this is because "Free Terix fights for the same purpose", and "it is a fool who hinders his enemy's enemies".
This new state is seen as hope for some, but for others it is the wrong thing at the wrong time. The start of an overt civil war may bring chaos and destruction to Terix, or it may bring a new era of peace and prosperity for the planet. Right now, however, only one thing is clear. The planet of Terix II will never be the same.
