Hello everyone! Last week, we wrote about the Europa Coalition and their history. Now its time to take a closer look at their rivals: the Jovian Separatists. When the Europa Coalition was gathering influence, their main political rival was the Jovian Peoples Movement. In contrast to the Coalitions idea of an autocratic system, the JPM wanted to establish a democratic government on Europa through nonviolent means. Following a tragic accident that claimed the lives of many JPM supporters, the Coalition was able to win the general election and become the main political power of Europa. This sparked suspicion, unrest and conflicts between the Coalition and JPM supporters, and the movement was eventually declared a terrorist organization. Thus, the Jovian Separatists came to be. The Separatists aim is to overthrow the established regime and challenge the status quo. Over the years leading up to the start of Barotraumas events, they have splintered into smaller groups around Europa, some engaging in guerrilla warfare against the Coalition, some favoring more diplomatic methods. Will you fight the good fight against the Coalition, and help the Separatists on their way towards a more democratic Europa? For more detailed information on the Separatists and sneak peeks into a few upcoming features of Barotrauma 1.0, head over to our blog!
