The black trains….
Is this a reference to the black ships of Warhammer40K?

Does the Empress even know this small band existed? If not, then the best thing to do is just split off and go their seperate ways.
Some may become solo bandits (though they know to avoid them and their convoys in the future). Some may travel east and join the more successful rebel groups. And some may just find a quiet area and try to make a new life for themselves.

well anyway the problem see didn’t learn one thing as a saying goes in one way or the other (am going to do a ruff version of it that would be like all the others.)
“you can have all the spirit and guts in the world, but nothing more than to get people fighting then offering them something better than their current life than money, food and all the things they want”
as in the fry cry game of the rules of the rebals “its not making do what you have but making as much chaos what you got” and they failed at that

Even a waste of time no one pays mind is better than be setted up for exemplary executions.
The black train thingie doesn’t look like a cruise trip from the reactions of those ex-rebels.

there are no good sides to a war, it’s a matter of what you do in the aftermath.
but let’s look at this what was the plan after they took power? what was there goal in the end just to remove a gorvment? if so what they plan after they did that? and so on.
really I can go on but last thing anyone want to see on here is a 500 words wall of text

Solar Supporter - Fought against the New Lunar Republic rebellion on the side of the Solar Deity (April Fools 2023).

Really curious to see what’s going to happen next. Is Spike going to let them off the hook or hand them over to the authorities? One the one hand the Empire is pretty bad, on the other hand the rebels also did some pretty bad stuff.

This is one of the few instances where dying a martyr is advised.
At least this way they might inspire future rebellions. Hopefuly way more idealistic than Ebony’s one.
No alternative is better.
