User:Impurest Cheese/Eayn Liberation Front


 * The Eayn Liberation Front was a group of Kig-yar that decided to resist the police state that the Brutes had enforced on the planet.

Origins

 * The Eayn Liberation Front was a movement started by a group of Kig-yar Diplomats and Warriors who were fed up with the Brute Military presence on Eayn. Originally set up after Kig-yar rebels attacked a Jiralhanae Battle Cruiser that bombed a planet that the Kig-yar were mining on. In retaliation the Brutes but a military police force on Eayn and started restricting the movement of all citizens. The Kig-yar fought back but surrendered after the Minister of Tolerance threatened to glass the entire planet. Klar Neyn was installed as the puppet ruler of Eayn despite his daughter Zahr Neyn being one of the leaders of the Kig-yar resistance forces.


 * This bolstered Zahr’s hatred of the Brutes and although the Brute’s didn’t have her executed and instead had a universal translator implanted in her throat to aid her in her post as diplomat. Secretly Zahr recruited Kig-yar to her cause and the Eayn Liberation Front was born.

Diplomatic Mission to Agric IV

 * Due to Brute blockades around the Kig-yar colonies the general population was beginning to starve. While Zahr had enough food she began to worry the rest of her kind and secretly sent messages to the Sangheili Fledgling Empire and the UNSC. Although the Sangheili refused the UNSC sent their best diplomat Ken Lawson as well as Spartan Green Team to the Fungal Moon of Agric IV.


 * Unfortunately the Brutes were able to intercept the transmission and Lepidus sent his son Emberus to destroy the uprising. The fighting on the planet was fierce with the Brutes eventually glassing a large section of the planet. Zahr was the only survivor of the Eayn Liberation Front and was scheduled for execution. She only survived due to the intervention of her father and was thrown into a prison in one of the Jiralhanae Weapon Guilds Factory Complex.

Uprising

 * Zahr would escape her prison and recruit more Kig-yar and even some Unggoy to help her escape and fight her oppressors. Zahr would meet up with Spartan Red Team and escape in the Kig-yar Raiding Ship Huntress. She would later aid Keith 115 in defeating the flood which were heading towards Sanghelios. Zahr would join up with Kerst’ Ledane and follow Lepidus to Glorious Advance in an attempt to disable the Eye of Fire. The Eayn Liberation Front would also fight on the ground in the 3rd Battle of Sanghelios alongside the Elites.

Victory on Eayn

 * For more information see the Battle of Eayn


 * Zahr would take part in the last battle with the Covenant Remenant. Acting as a Shipmistress she defeated the Brutes in Orbit and on the Ground. Prisoners were shown mercy and were shipped back to Dosiac. Zahr would then establish a rudimentary government on Eayn and start trading with the UNSC and Sangheili Foundling Empire. There would be several conflicts on Eayn with conservative Kig-yar who would rather continue piracy rather then settle down. The Kig-yar would still act as mercenaries but would export ores and minerals as their primary export.

Economy and Military

 * The Eayn Liberation Front had no economic structure during the battle with the Covenant Remnant. Later they would begin to sell the services of its people as mercenaries to the UNSC and Sangheili Fledgling Empire. They would also export minerals as well as fruits and vegetables from Eayn. Later the Kig-yar would sell several mining vehicles to the UNSC to extract Forerunner Artefacts to prevent the activation of the Eye of Fire.


 * The Eayn Liberation Front had a similar military structure to the Covenant and relied on Kig-yar and Unggoy to fight their enemies. In the absence of Elites or Brutes for leadership the Kig-yar became the commanders and the Unggoy diversified into roles that other members of the Covenant had previously held. After the end of the battle with the Covenant the Grunts were allowed to leave and while most returned to Balaho some stayed on Eayn as observers working for the Sangheili to make sure that the Kig-yar stayed away from piracy.
