Brotherhood Endures!

Updating from my newly acquired quarters in Rasmussen Enterprise, the trade port Coriolis station in Bhado. The Brotherhood has done it! Against all the odds, a handful of Pilot's Fed and hundreds of clans and gangs from the brotherhood have managed to turn the tide and cut the resupply routes allowing Rasmussen to remain in Revolutionary hands. Without the fuel or food to survive a protracted siege, their government officials and military forces have withdrawn to their holdings around Bhado 2, particularly moon 2C.
Brotherhood forces rose up within the station shortly after, ensuring that no deadman's hand protocols had been left in place, and finding none, allowed the secure transfer of the station to Brotherhood authority. This is a momentous coup for freedom in this system, 10 million souls freed from a decrepit and corrupt democratic facade and protected form the autocratic and capitalist vultures waiting in the wings.
Fighting continues on some decks, but the system war has died down and most of the population just wants a return to normalcy, however that may be defined with the removal of formal government. Given time, I am sure the people of this system will adjust to self determination; we're already shipping in personal weapons and foodstuffs to improve individual and household protection and sustainability in the days and weeks to come.
I'm waiting out the last of my brief hiatus in our newly acquired station, calling the Anansi together for a clan meet. We've a lot to discuss, the Brotherhood's leading members have requested we stay to help them consolidate and potentially expand their operations to surrounding systems. Whether we have a future here or not is for each pilot to decide, but for now, we're just enjoying our victory.
