The Gold Sector Conflict is a massive clusterfuck of warring factions in the Gold Sector. It started pretty much immediately after the Great Elkossian Peach War ended, as cut-off Colonies in the system declared their own independence. By the time the Capital had regained the strength to restore its dominion, these new states were unwilling to fall in line and violently resisted, although these factions did not come into conflict until BR 2,013 - BR 2,014 as most were focused on rebuilding up until that period. Elkoss especially was tasked with wrestling back control of its own homeworld from Peach remnants and hordes of raiders in the lawless zones after the great war.
Background
The initial combatants of the conflict were the Galacian capital Elkoss and its surrounding systems, the Volhinyan Kynazdom in the north who claimed to be the true Empire due to a vague ancestral tie to the now dead royal families of the 1st Empire, and the Mozorovan Social Union, a communist puppet state that was propped up in the west during the power vacuum.
During its war with the Communists, the Galacians heavily taxed the resource rich southern systems to fund the war effort. Businessmen and citizens alike compared this to the actions of the Brittanians against their colonies in present day USA, cried foul, and began withholding taxes. When the government cracked down and started killing and imprisoning minifigs, they fought back.
Originally in the Zaphor system and then as the government was spread thin, these southern rebels would take control of several systems. As the communists faltered, these roughnecks would become the primary adversary of the Loyalists until BR 2,015 - BR 2,016. Originally fighting to make a state separate from the Galacians, during the 1st Republik the southern rebels would become shocked at President Tesarik and his government's treatment of peaches. The south had no real qualms against peaches as they did not fall victim to the genocidal war that the north had. For a time the rebel's cause was that of "fighting against evil" and fighting to end slavery.
After the Tesarik government was defeated in the ballot room a more moderate president, Lahey took power. He ended the slavery and death camps and the rebels were left with a dilemma in not really knowing what they fought for, they then continued to fight against the Elkoss government on grounds that they had just become too different. By now the USA had become a major influence on the Zaphor centered proto-state.
After the 2nd Republik was brought to a swift end at the hands of Marshal Shulga, the rebel state received a wave of both foreign support from the USA and volunteers in the form of refugees from the 2nd Empire. Democracy as a way of life was over in Galacia. While the populace was still very much cared for and things were not at all as severe at first thought, many roughnecks and rednecks felt insulted at the very principle, and the rebels continued their fight against the capital, this time to restore "Freedom."

Galacian Republik | No longer a legitimate state. The Underground Resistance to restore the Republik is little more than a Zagorian funded rebel group operating in Imperiya Space |
| Foreign Involvement | Faction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
|
Rubrum Crucesignatis | While not directley involved, the threat of an RC Invasion looms over the sector as it already fought a war against the Galacian Imperiya in the Arhus Crisis, and the conflict has since drawn the attention of the RC when the PAC began a bid for membership in the alliance. While declining to join their alliance, Chernarus and Spartak have pledged to fight on the side of PAC and the RC should the war escalate. |
|
USA | The benefactor of the Zagorian Systems Conglomerate, the USA has considerable assets invested in the southern systems. It has already directley supported Zagoria during Operation Harvest Red and has stationed USA Marines in several systems to deter further aggression |
|
45th Union | While it no longer plays an active role in the conflict, the 45th Union's actions in early R2018 are blamed for setting off the current crisis, their "Annexation" of the Kopachy system triggered a rise in violence all across the west. This action set in motion PAC's process to join the RC Alliance, and the panic that followed that, drew most of the other factions into different, opposing camps. |
|
USSSR | The USSSR has Annexed the stations in the Volhinyan region known as the Red Line, Their actions influenced Volhinya to seek protection from a larger alliance, And surprisingly drove them into the arms of the Imperiya
