Might as well write it in stone so everyone knows what happens to the EIT.

Internal conflicts between autocratic militants and loyalists to the ideals of Rynad Keplat spark a civil war. The Imperial Navy detaches itself from the conflict, and as the interior goes dark in civil war, they independently maintain a watch on the borders with tattered remnants of the IPF, maintaining territorial sovereignty in the time of crisis.

In time, the Navy Intelligence Service (MAD) pours out of the Kohaku Cloud with their own honed, well-developed naval, air, and ground forces, seizing the capital and re-establishing the constitution of 2143 and assassinating key leaders of both warring civil factions, to reduce any chance of there being further resistance. The MAD retreats back to the Kohaku Cloud leaving behind next to no evidence of their presence in terms of technology or bodies, allowing the re-established government to regain order in the empire.
