===Seizure of naval base===
On the morning of 17 April, much of Pachaug was in significant tumult from the previous night's rumors, and most demonstrating Pachoy felt that tensions were coming to a head. Many of the Pachoy members of the [[Nysdra Sea Guard]] had been deeply alarmed by the reports that negotiations had been a ruse, and many of them spent the night of 16 April planning to make a move. A majority, but not all of the Guard members stationed in Pachaug, were supportive of taking a first step, and throughout the night many Guard members who were thought to possibly betray the plan were gagged and hidden in a secluded warehouse at the naval base. At the morning changing of the guard at 7:02 AM, 17 April, the plotters executed their plan: men who were to take guard were either plotters or replaced by men who were, and the guards coming off their post were quickly arrested. Before there was time for the base commanders to formulate a response, it was already too late - the base headquarters were seized by plotters and the commanders - all [[New Harren]]ic men - were arrested. At 7:18 AM, the plotters announced to the people of the city that they had seized control of the naval base and that their aim was to remove all foreign influences from the country. The lowering of the [[NSTA]] flag at the naval base was met with cheers by all demonstrators who saw it, and many in the streets took this as a signal to move. An uprising had officially begun.
