éirígí. Let Them Rise.

éirígí are democratic republican socialists. The party itself are descendants of the Rald Party and the Zardugali Revolutionary Socialist Party. As such, the party hold strong socialist beliefs, but also maintain that they cannot go so far as to damage the democratic system or the ability of the nation to defend itself and its citizens. The party was once named the Soldiers of Destiny, but now that is the name given to the party's militia.

The party was originally founded by Conor Quinn in 2475. In the fledgling party's first elections of 2478, they won 11% of the vote and also gained a majority within the region of Saqueya. The party was promising similar gains for the 2482 elections when Conor Quinn was shot down on the steps of the party's headquarters in Belgae. As a result, the party lost six seats. The party continued on as a minor leftist party until 2492, when Daniel Feterokov's Zardugali Revolutionary Socialist Party was formed. In 2497, after the electoral victory of the National Authoritarian Movement, the Rald Party took it's first cabinet seats. In 2498, both the Rald Party and the ZRSP were rocked by allegations of their involvement in the assassination of the leader of the Democratic Party, Jacob Sotheby. It was later proved that the assassinations were a joint effort between Sotheby's successor, Jim Hewitt. Grant Feterokov, Adam Smith and an al'Badaran terrorist organisation by the name of the Falcons of Dawn.
