Thyst Rebellion

Cultural event

Androids are granted full Pact citizenship.

Although the Thyst Rebellion was the instigator that lead to subsequent Android revolts across the system, it was combined with a now-legendary speech known as "The Automaton's Polemic" by Android revolutionary Serphaeus-6.

It led governments throughout the Pact Worlds to officially recognise Androids as independent citizens. This ruling, however, has not completely stopped unscrupulous corporations in less regulated parts of the system from crafting illegal android slaves or forcing newborn androids to “work off” the expense of their creation.
