When everyone and their mother had seen the Beast of Fear's announcement, the Carmine Revolution had begun in earnest!
While the Red Ocean had already kicked off its own Carmine Revolution, the biggest differenace with the revolution in the Milky Way was that it commenced in spite of the opposition from the Big Two!
As the dominant rulers and hegemons of human space, the MTA and CFA experienced their first true challenge to their reign since the start of the Age of Mechs.
The Big Two had been on guard against potential threats and challenges from the first-rate superstates and the surviving alien empires that had been licking their wounds on the other side of the galaxy.
They never expected that their first and potentially fatal challenge would come from a red human of all possibilities!
