The Zhanzheng de Guang (or War of Light) was a pro-Capellan Confederation terrorist organization that incited insurrection on several Sarna March worlds prior to Operation Guerrero.
Overview
The organization first came to notice when it attacked police units and garrison forces on Aldebaran, Zurich, Styk, and Gan Singh in 3056. Throughout the rest of the year members continued their attacks, expanding to Acamar, Fletcher, and Nanking. As 3056 and 3057 continued, the Zhanzheng de Guang members committed bombings, bank robberies, and other acts in order to strain the local government's law enforcement capabilities. As soon as Operation Guerrero commenced, the Zhanzheng de Guang stepped up their efforts, and took control of Zurich, establishing the "People's Liberation Party."[1]
The Zhanzheng de Guang prior to 3054 was an semi-organized and undisciplined group of criminals. In 3054 Maskirovka agents landed on multiple worlds and provided training and guidance.[2] The Zurich cell was particularly effective; They overthrew the planetary government.[3] In 3067 the Maskirovka continued to fund Zhanzheng de Guang cells that still operated in the Chaos March.[4]
In 3128 the Chancellor would repeat these tactics to trigger a revolt on Liao.[5]
