The Havenite Civil War occured in 1915 PD when the Committee of Public Safety was overthrown in the Theisman Coup and the original Republic of Haven was restored. Numerous Committee loyalists, Office of State Security remnants, warlords, and separatists continued to fight against the legitimate military forces of the Republic, keeping the star nation internally unstable.

History[]

The Civil War was one reason for acting President Eloise Pritchart to travel to the planet Sanctuary and come to an agreement with the local leadership, assuring the continued availability, and secrecy, of the Bolthole weapons development complex. (DF)

Aftermath[]

Renegade units of the State Security Naval Forces and State Security Ground Forces, such as the Liberation Force in Exile, People's Navy in Exile, and People's First Liberation Squadron, fled Havenite territory and sought external aid to reinforce their military strength. They worked in piracy and as mercenaries to buy additional ships. (SI1, CS2)

Other units, realizing that the Committee had lost, became pirates and warlords. Several others sold their ships. Several warlords, such as Silas Mikasinovich, were amnestied by President Pritchart in exchange for their surrender and exile. This was to ensure that any warship that was a ship of the wall was not allowed to escape. (HH10)

Many of the pirates and warlords were defeated in the Verge, the Talbott Cluster, the Republic of Erewhon, and the Silesian Confederacy. (Companion, CS2, HH10, HH12, SI1)

The Battle of Nuncio saw the destruction of the People's First Liberation Squadron. (SI1)

The Second Battle of Congo saw the destruction of the People's Navy in Exile. (CS2)
