| abstract | - Violence broke out after a political meeting between Syrgus Takir, a Hierarchy representative, and Illurikhan Chorack, the representative of the Arcovan, took place on Gydera in the Political Conference Tower. Negotiations of government intervention in colonial affairs and reparations for the disaster on Taetrus showed how much the two factions disagreed with eachother. After the Hierarchy ignored each of the Arcovan's proposals, a riot broke out. Rallies of supporters of both the Arcovan and the Hierarchy gathered near the Political Conference Tower to protest their support and listen to the conference via radio. As soon as negotiations turned against the Arcovan, their supporters attacked the opposing Hierarchy Loyalists. The attack was sudden and bloody and by the end of it, the riot claimed the lives of 28 turians and severely injured 143 more. The Hierarchy Loyalists quickly created a retaliation plan and as Chorack stayed on Gydera for a few public appearances, Loyalists attempted to murder him. Illurikhan Chorack and the Arcovan used the attempted suicide to catapult their cause and garner far more support. As more outer colonies began to secede from the Hierarchy, tensions arose. It didn't take long for Arcovan extremists to retaliate with a bombing, and the Loyalists with a counter bombing. The Hierarchy then stepped in and, to put an end to both extremist groups, mounted a military operation. It didn't take long for the Hierarchy to stop their Loyalists from committing violent acts, but the damage was done with the Arcovan and the outer colonies. As Hierarchy naval vessels approached many outer colonies, the Separatists mounted a military opposition. The ambushes laid by the Arcovan quickly drove the Hierarchy to react with a heavy attack on the capitol of Carthag, a prominent outer-colony for the Arcovan. The devastating attack called for the Arcovan to declare war on the far more powerful Turian Hierarchy.
