Changes

After the news of the defeat spread to other worlds, planet after planet began a revolt. First it was the mining planet [[Guryan]]. The miners had cut down their guards and strangled others with their shackles. After Guryan came [[Dolsia]] and [[Vaust]]. It seemed the rebel worlds were cutting a swathe through the empire, straight towards Gathalamor. On [[Colcha]], Bucharis laid a trap and managed to destroy a small fleet that appeared around the planet. One shuttle survived however, and landed on the planet. [[Fredreich Khust]], overall commander of the sector, was wary of the shuttle that had landed, and so kept his men and tanks on the planet on full alert. A year later that the shuttle landed, the population of Colcha went berserk. They burnt the fields, stormed the barracks but lost three quarters of their numbers before overcoming the guards. They stampeded their vast herds of gigantic gorbeasts into tank companies, crushing the war machines under a thunderous storm of house-sized animals. They dammed rivers, flooding their own homes and whole towns where Khust's men were billeted. Even the elderly and young children hurled makeshift grenades made from the local distilled fuel, setting light to the air vents of Leman Russ tanks and choking the crews inside. All across both continents the people of Colcha stopped at nothing to rid themselves of their enslavers. Eventually, Khust's forces were overwhelmed and pushed from the planet. The populations of [[Lima Rogan]], [[Troudor]] and many others revolted, pushing Bucharis' forces further back. Bucharis' coffers were emptying more rapidly than they could be filled. Many of his soldiers deserted and there was infighting and dissension even within the highest ranks of his army. Still the revolts continued, and finally, [[Methalor]], the closest planet to Gathalamor, revolted, its principle hive destroyed by an inferno started when the inhabitants overloaded the geothermal power grid. Bucharis was worried now. He doubled the cordon on his system and had all ships searched as they entered. After the fall of Methalor a messenger arrived at the [[Cardinal Palace]] on Gathalamor. With a defiant look and a stern voice, the messenger proclaimed himself the envoy of Confessor [[Dolan Chirosius]]. Confessor Dolan called for the immediate surrender of Bucharis. The Cardinal was ordered to resign his position, renounce his heresies and throw himself on the mercy of the Emperor.
