Perfugist Splinter Cell

The Perfugist splinter cell was a insurgent group formed out of the results of the failure of the Winter Operation, which attempted a coup against Chancellor Desslok and failed,

Winter Operation
The Winter operation was an effort for The Nexan Republic to form a presence in Ohio as well as expand to recruit to the public in 2020 with a new base of recruits,

As the Chancellor was preparing to obtain a base of operations, he was informed that the budget provided for the mission was suddenly missing, Of which sabotage was suspected.

Coup Attempt
In December of 2020 a Coup attempted was made on the Chancellor's life, members had met at the Joplin Public Library to conspire to murder Desslok, Douglas openly tried to convince staff members to join the Coup and rebel against Desslok, in order to form a Fascist military dictatorship that sought to take control of the nation.

Described as a "revolution", coup members prepared their attack to murder Desslok in the Econo-lodge hotel.

No longer able to take the abuse from Douglas and breaking under stress, Former Auctor of State Sage Hayward told Desslok everything,

word of the attack was relayed to the rest of The Nexus one of the staff members who was abused by Douglas and told to not reveal the information, following this Desslok enacted Order - 3 which transformed The Nexus into the First Directionist nation, seeing after years of attempting various systems of government that had previous failed into dissarray.

With Desslok asserting his dominance and Control over the nation, the Coup fell apart as Order - 3 possessed a clause that would state:"'In any circumstance that I am killed or either incapacitated by someone in The Nexan Republic, whoever Kills or imprisons them, Will become the Next Chancellor of The Nexus for avenging my would be death.'"- Desslok in Order - 3

The Coup fell apart in a few days, Members fled and deserted military positions after an investigation began, and a secret movement of Custodiae Guards were moved nearby to monitor the status of their Chancellor from the shadows.

Douglas was ultimately defeated and forced to drive Desslok to his home, adding further insult to injury. Attempting his last moves to spy on Desslok and otherwise dispose of him, The Nexus banned several Citizens for Treason, leaving him in checkmate.

Aftermath
The failed coup the Nexan Republic later uncovered sources of abuse, corruption scandals and physical assault by Douglas, plans relayed by former staff member led to an investigation into the activities of the Coup's reach into the Military, causing the expulsion of several high ranking officers in The Nexan Military.

Afraid of being caught in the crossfire some citizens fled from The Nexan Republic, due to fear of persecution from Perfugists, or being caught between Herald and Perfugist skirmishes. as a result a few holdout factions remain out in the world, some having contacted Desslok to rejoin the Heralds.

A splinter faction that was friendly to The Nexan Republic known as Ardu Almas had existed for a time before its collapse due to inactivity, that had sided with The Heralds against the Perfugist threat.

Ongoing Conflict
Following the end of the Conflict, The Nexan Republic is currently protecting itself and monitoring for remnant Perfugists that may be attempting a further attack on the Chancellery. There has been no activity since the Coup ended in 2020, suggesting the majority of the members were arrested or deserted Douglas.

The Directionist Government after enduring the coup would move onto focusing it's efforts to rebuilding the nation, Asserting the security of the Nation, giving the name of The Desslok loyalists as "The Heralds" who currently control the Nexan Republic.
