Sorry to double post but I have reason. Here is some back story to the first part of this.
Action Vos!
In the years leading up to the war between Vos and Tarn, many of the citizens of Vos began to feel resentful towards the large number of immigrants from other areas of Cybertron living in their city, and sentiment regarding the racial superiority of those budded of ‘pure’ lines of ancestry began to grow.
The most important figures in this belief are the Republic, who often organised arena fights between warriors from Vos and those of rival cities, rigged heavily to sway public opinion towards the supremacy of the people of Vos.Another major group in this movement was Action Vos!, a militant group officially labelled as a terrorist organisation by Starscream’s puppet government, but covertly funded by the Republic.
Initially, Action Vos! remained solely a political entity, espousing their radical views to stir up public sentiment. However, it was not long before an armed campaign started, targeting the ‘undesirable’ foreign elements of society. Scare tactics and lynchings were used at first, with immigrants from Tarn, Kaon and Iacon being the main victims.
Before long, bombings became the main approach being utilised, often aimed at slum areas towards the outskirts of the city. Casualty rates were alarmingly high, and the efficiency of the killings in eliminating only foreigners was startlingly precise. Within four months, almost six hundred were dead, and more than two thousand displaced.
Various show trials were conducted at Starscream’s behest, as his shadowy backers were determined to keep their hands clean as much as possible. It is estimated that almost thirty innocent civilians, mostly anti-blood sport protestors, were publicly executed in connection with the bombings. Despite the effectiveness of the campaign against the slums, Action Vos! were to step up their approach once more.
The seventh month of the bombing campaign saw what was briefly known as the “Ten Days of Terror”, in which three ambassadors to Vos from other regions of Cybertron were publicly assassinated by individuals disguised in the traditional appearance of Tertius, legendary founder of Vos. The tenth day was witness to the single most lethal and controversial action taken by the group, though, as seven bombs simultaneously exploded at various points in the embassy building for Tarn in the city centre of Vos, killing all seventy-eight inhabitants of the building instantly. Included in this death toll was Thunderblitz, then the Governor of Tarn.
The aftermath of this bombing had serious consequences in both cities as Tarn’s military; led by the callous Shockwave; acted quickly, seizing control in their city-state in a bloodless coup in order to resolve the power vacuum Thunderblitz’s death had created. Shortly after this coup, the leaders of Action Vos! were apprehended with suspicious rapidity, and sentenced to serve the remainder of their lives as arena slaves, unpaid gladiators owned by the pits.
This was not enough to appease Shockwave and his military junta, however, and the bombing of the Tarn embassy, as well as Shockwave’s own fears over the Republic and the possibility of a similar phenomenon occurring in his own city’s gladiatorial arenas, are often cited as the catalysts for the beginning of the war between Vos and Tarn.
