Leviantan Civil War

The Leviantan Civil War was the name given to the conflict in Levianta resulting from the exoneration of USE General Tony Ausdin by the Dark Star Bureau Director Gallerian Marlon. In response to Gallerian's corruption, riots broke out across Levianta and resulted in the deaths of both men.

Origins
Main Article: Dark Star Scandal

Following the death of his wife and daughter, the Director of the Dark Star Court Bureau Gallerian Marlon began engaging in increasingly corrupt court practices, exonerating criminals in exchange for kickbacks while the wealthy were able to pay to have their political opponents jailed. As a result, public disapproval began to build as innocent people were convicted while killers, sexual offenders, and other criminals bargained for their freedom.

During this time, the judge, under the alias of "Santa Claus", also made use of hitmen to remove any and all opponents to his policies, including an assassin, Nemesis Sudou, codenamed Eight. On one occasion, he sent an order for her to kill her own lover. Following the completion of her mission, Nemesis swore vengeance on the judge.

Civil War
In August of EC 983, General Tony Ausdin was charged for killing multiple people and placed on trial; with Gallerian presiding over the trial, the judge was bribed and exonerated Ausdin of his apparent crimes. Soon after, the citizens' outrage exploded into riots across Levianta. During these riots, dissenters sought out Tony Ausdin and killed him, leaving the general's mangled body on his lawn.

In the chaos Nemesis also sought out Gallerian Marlon, confronting him in his home as his house was set ablaze; with the judge refusing to return everything he stole from the people, he was killed soon after and his body was left in the burned down mansion along with much of his collection.

Aftermath
Following the riots' end, the deaths of Gallerian and General Ausdin were processed. As according to his will, the sin vessels the judge had collected over the course of his corruption were handed over to the playright Ma, who took them to a theater that had been built in the Millennium Tree Forest.

Civilian Perception
The citizens of Levianta were enraged at the corruption of the Dark Star Court Bureau, frustrated with the ineffectual legal system plaguing the nation's government. As a reflection of his greedy nature, Gallerian was attributed with the moniker "the Collector" by later generations and his policies left a dark stain on the reputation of the Dark Star Court. Not understanding the cause of this greed, the people saw no use taking his collectibles and were instead only concerned with taking his wealth and property. Public outcry also rose specifically over the exoneration of General Tony Ausdin, the citizenry outraged at such a ruthless killer being set free and this outrage sparking the initial conflict.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Interestingly, the civil war's occurrence in August, the eighth month of the year, may be a reference to Nemesis Sudou, codenamed "Eight"; the song featuring both Nemesis and the conflict, The Muzzle of Nemesis was released on the 8th of August.
