    • Bloody Saturday was the first violent altercation of the Iustitian War for Independence. In the early hours of February 8, 1794, a number of protestors opposing the attempted arrest of Ross Ashley, Baron of Machlain and the continued incarceration (without trial) of Douglas Black were intercepted by the Governor of Iustitia's garrison. A number of loyalist residents took up arms in support of the garrison as they began to be overwhelmed. A brawl broke out between the loyalists and protestors, culminating in the shooting of Bernard Stevenson, one of the protest organizers. Gunfire was subsequently exchanged between the two parties and the protestors were driven out of Iustitia City.
