Most of the astralese rebels began to use non-lethal weapons, while the ones that do not are using bombs against Tikalian factories to only halt military progress without intention to kill any civilians. The main two Astralese fronts have done quite well, with the second front nearly sieging Tarjisku, despite losing lands in other exclaves. The former Astralese who are in the military are resigining as they do not want to fight rebels of their own kind. Several anti-Tikalian peaceful protests have also occured in Inthaxajesa, which is Astralis' northernmost major city. These protests are either non-violent or using non-lethal weapons. In Tarjisku, there are also anti-Tikal protests, but these ones are more violent and are condemned by the most of the peaceful rebels. Most of the rebels do not want to fight Heptia and just want Astralese independence. (most do not even mind about astrosocialism or not as they are fine with both unless if it is dictatorial) Around 10 quadrillion Astralese have boycotted Tikalian jobs to start a "brain drain" and an economic crash in Tikal to prevent military spending from increasing.
