===='''The 1st Maltravers Administration'''==== |

Maltravers would assume office on the 18th January 663, succeeding Chancellor Magnus Ward. He ran on a platform of reinvesting the nuclear energy grid, loosening restrictions around abortion, beginning an anti smoking and alcohol campaign, and transportation improvement. His policy around loosening restrictions around abortion would shortly thereafter go through the General Assembly, it wasn't until later that legislation around the Nuclear Power Grid and Transportation would pass through. |

On 23rd January, 663, Maltravers would have his official portrait done. The first bill of his government was the amendment to the Kodiak Rights Act, specifically in regard to abortion. Later on into his term he had to place his Deputy Chancellor into the position of Acting Chancellor due to some personal matters OOC. Among the first successes of the Maltravers administration would be the passing of an amendment to the Kodiak Nation Rights Act which liberalised the restrictions around abortion, the amendment was written by Maltravers himself. In late November of 663 civil war broke out, Maltravers was admittedly not quick to realise beforehand, yet was swift to respond once it became evidently apparent. He was deeply hesitant but took steps he believed to be right. As the rebellion became more serious, he began to push for military action, officially abandoning His Pacifist ways. By December 664, Patrick Barber had been captured. By January of 665, Crystal city had been recaptured from the Commune's forces. |

On the 22nd November, 663, several key sectors in the Southern Provinces would go on strike. The demands of the strikes were higher wages, less hours, and improved health and safety conditions. By the 25th November the strikes had escalated in which a natural gas power plant was destroyed in Sjokalade; that same day President Kyros had gone to meet with the protesters, where he was subsequently shot and hospitalised, Maltravers made a public statement sending his thoughts and prayers to Kyros and denouncing the Commune. |

By the 27th of November, Maltravers had been made to make a difficult decision - he broke with the pacifist teachings he had held so dear. On the 27th he ordered intervention by joint police and military forces. This came as the Vanguard continued to occupy small towns and villages in the province. Around December of 663, Theyge also saw attacks by protesters, once again Maltravers sent support via a public broadcasting. In February 664, the Kodiak Navy faced off against commune forces, this incident saw the Godsith put out of action for a considerable amount of time. Maltravers would then make the difficult decision on the 29th of April to abandon Crystal City in order to spare more bloodshed. Angered by significant losses, in the late summer of 664 Maltravers announced changes to the military hierarchy. This included a general who happened to be affiliated with the left; his dismissal (based upon his lack of skill and necessity) caused backlash from the KWP. |

As the winter of 664 began, Maltravers social service Minister Urisko would disappear. It is currently unknown what happened to him. However, the event caused a brief security concern, alongside concerns around the election in 666. In October of 664, Patrick Barber was finally captured by a special team. He was subsequently taken to hospital before being taken back to the capital. |
|||
Crystal City was finally recaptured on the 13th January, 665. This came after support from the URA, including armoured tanks, arrived to help the Kodiak Army in an assault. On the 18th, Commune forces would begin to withdraw. |
