First Apex Civil War

The First Apex Civil War is the name given to the conflict between the United Apex Republic and the Apex Rebellion. It lasted 5 years and ended with UAR victory. Additionally, the UAR was dissolved and in it's place came the Democratic Apex' Republic of the Miniknog. The end of the war marks the beginning of the Death of Freedom year calendar used within the DARM and replaced the previous Fall of Vex calendar.

Causes
The causes of the civil war go back 2 years before the start of the conflict.

ApeSoc and the VEP
2 Years before the war begun, ApeSoc's candidate for president, Haryevan Tartomax, assumed the presidency of the UAR after massive public support. This happened because Haryevan offered the population the cure for the deadly Plague that fell upon the nation. The cure, however, was incomplete and a side-effect was the Vestigi-Evo Process, a process that altered the people's skeletal structure and increased their hair growth, making them look like their primate counterparts. This generated outrage among the population, already putting most of it against the current government.

The coup
Shortly after the VEP changed the Apex forever, the Army Marshal Korvux Domini killed the president and started a military dictatorship. The population already angered with what the VEP did to them started to fear that their freedom was going to be stripped away from them soon, seeing as Korvux was responding to riots with lethal force. It didn't take long for the rebellion to spark.
