The Revolt started out of the Rebel Front for the End of Koman Exploitation (q.v.) against Richese, led by Jehanne Butler, her husband Thet'r Butler and priestess Urania. During one of their operations, the rebels discovered that the chief Richesan programmers and scientists had been mostly willing participants in the actions of the machines in altering the population of Komos. The priestesses of Kubebe were alerted, and with an alteration of the rebel ranks, produced the Revolt.
