Violence broke out after a political meeting between Syrgus Takir, a Hierarchy representative, and Illurikhan Chorack, the representative of the Arcovan, took place on Gydera in the Political Conference Tower. Negotiations of government intervention in colonial affairs and reparations for the disaster on Taetrus showed how much the two factions disagreed with eachother. After the Hierarchy ignored each of the Arcovan's proposals, a riot broke out. Rallies of supporters of both the Arcovan and the Hierarchy gathered near the Political Conference Tower to protest their support and listen to the conference via radio.
