The destruction of Vey

As will have been recounted further up the page, the course of the Constancian revolt can be succinctly summarised - a clique of officers, supported by monarchists and liberal politicians, attempted to stage a coup in order to depose the Alexandrian dictator who had, by taking the Free and Associative Kingdom into the Raspur Pact and through the purposeful neglect of the expected norms of the constitutional rule of law, become cuckoo in the Constancian nest. While the attempted assassination of the Autokrator had succeeded in puncturing his aura of invincibility in the eyes of the sullen masses the efforts of the Basileusian Private Guard to follow this up by storming Nirytos House, the dictator's residency, was thwarted by the rapid mobilisation of ESB operatives placed in key posts to control communications and civic infrastructure. As the Tagmata of the small professional army declared for Primo and began sending armoured vehicles into Vey to cordon off the Great Palace of Vey and the barracks of the Basileusian Private Guard it looked as though the uprising had been swiftly crushed, yet neither side had considered the reaction of the demos to the sight of the elites battling it out amongst themselves. To the horror of all concerned it soon became apparent that the cadres of the Home Guard had come together to discuss the situation and reached conclusions intensely discomforting to either side - the rallying cry, spreading from the Home Guard barracks and armouries and out onto the streets was for the expulsion not only of the hated Shirerithian advisers, but also of the discredited and enfeebled monarchy which had allowed the ESB to become so firmly entrenched there in the first place. With the best troops of the Tagmata already deployed to Aqabah and Nivardom to support operations against Iteru, and the Private Guard decimated having been caught in a crossfire between the regular forces and the ESB operatives, neither faction was able to give an effective answer when the Home Guard broke the seals to its own armouries and passed out rifles and carbines amongst the rapidly swelling crowds, soon several hundred thousand strong, calling for the overthrow of the entire corrupt system. As barricades went up, and roads in and out of the city were cut, the surviving defenders of a government divided against itself were forced to temporarily put aside their murderous differences in order to fend off the assaults of the hoi polloi now intent on exterminating them all.
