The Collapse

The Collapse (March 17th, 2039) was a major economic, federal and social breakdown of the People's Republic of Animus, resulting in the Order of the Seditionian Star taking over the country in its idea of the "perfect government", or Seditionism. The fall of the PRA was the result of a long-fought civil war and unrest, and extreme political tensions between it and the Cortex, and unpaid debt with Xibait. However it was caused by a single announcement by the Magnus Dux that commanded all on-duty military personnel to immediately cease operations.

Prior Events and Timeline
Before the fall of the PRA, the Magnus Dux ordered the executions of all and every known rebel allied with the Daywalkers and Nebula, even after the collapse of the Nebula and the Daywalkers had gone underground. Immediately after witnessing the executions of each by slitting the throats of each, he sought therapy to treat his mental illness (which almost led him to killing more). After a few months of treatment, the Magnus Dux broke free of his powerhungry insanity and realized that what he did was completely wrong.
