Military coup on Vosun

Elements of the Vosun military opposed to the "alliance" of the Vosun Star Empire with the Bolitic Confederacy (which in reality is Vosun being a virtual slave state) have launched a military coup against the Bolitic imposed leadership. The 2nd Space Division attacked the capital from space and landed troops which have occupied parts of the city but failed to capture the parliament building.

The rebels want to pull the Vosun Star Empire out of the Bolitic orbit. A spokesman said "The Vosun are slaves to the Bolitic. While the Bolitic are busy with their own political fighting we should break free and re-establish ourselves as an independent power!" An independent Vosun politician has however refused to join the rebels, "Their sense of timing is rotton." he told state media, "The Bolitic civil war is over. We simply do not have the forces to stand against the Bolitic." The neighbouring Raegris have raised their alert status.
