Floating City Crisis
The Floating City Crisis was a political conflict regarding the legitimate leadership of the Floating City's municipal government. It began with a police raid on the office of La Verdad, a temple-operated paper. In the aftermath, Templemaster Samigot asked for the resignation of Deputy Mayor Wren MacBride, who refused.
On March 14, 2022, Samigot loyalists, aided by a member of the Voidmaster's Order, performed a coup in the village of La Nada and captured the La Nadan Munitions Foundry. Following this, on March 16, the Temple attempted negotiations with the Municipal Government, which turned into a failed assassination plot on Samigot. Two days later in the early hours of March 18 soldiers stationed on the HWAS Skymonger seized the Municipal Airport, causing the police to evacuate Barrio Verde. The crisis resolved on March 21 when the Air Nation Sky Navy stormed the Sandstone Hall of the Floating City, where negotiations had turned violent after another failed assassination attempt on Samigot.
