Battle of the Senate building

"This is Commander Henry Vorivich, former volunteer in the Army of the Confederate States of Earth, and patriot of the old New Earth Republic. I have taken Senators from the Senate of the Union of Earth States as hostage, and my forces have raised the flag of our new revolutionary republic above what is now the Senate of the Second New Earth Republic. I demand that the Union of Earth States shall be recognised the Second New Earth Republic, the successor state to the New Earth Republic. Do not try anything foolish, I have no qualms about killing these corrupt senators!"

- Commander Henry Vorivich in a public address to the Union and the Confederacy

The Battle of the Senate building (also known as the Birth of the Second New Earth Republic by supporters of the SNER) was a battle fought between the combined forces of the Confederate States of Earth and the Union of Earth States within the Union Senate building and the former Confederate forces which attempted to force the reformation of the Union of Earth States into the Second New Earth Republic (SNER), the self-proclaimed successor state to the New Earth Republic, a terrorist republic who had attempted to conquer the Union during the New Earth Republic crisis of 40 BBY - 38 BBY. The commander of the SNER was Commander Henry Vorivich, who had served the NER before going underground when the NER was on the verge of being defeated.

Henry Vorivich continued to believe in the NER's goals, and began to scheme with other former NER members for a time when a restored NER would be able to conquer the Union, they set their scheme into action when the Confederate States of Earth was founded in 21 BBY, splitting the Union in half, and eventually outnumbering what was left of the Union.

The plan was to support the Confederacy until the Union was forced to sue for peace, the former NER volunteers would then head to the Union Senate building under the guise of seeing the peace treaty successfully signed, when inside the building they would betray the Confederacy, take the Union Senate hostage, raise their flag above the building, and demand the Union be reformed into the Second New Earth Republic.
