The '''skaa rebellion''' is the name given to the group of [[skaa]] opposing the [[Final Empire]] on [[Scadrial]].
 
   
  +
The rebellion was lead by [[Yeden]], and [[Kelsier's crew]] played a vital role in the formulation and running of the rebellion's armies.
== History ==
 
=== During the Final Empire ===
 
Before [[Yeden]] hired [[Kelsier]]'s [[Kelsier's crew|crew]] to raise an army for the rebellion, [[Marsh]] was their leader.{{book ref|mb1|7}} During that time the rebels hid runaways, planned burglaries, organized raids, and kidnapped minor nobles.{{book ref|mb1|4}}{{book ref|mb1|7}} These rebels never expected to be able to overthrow the [[Final Empire]], they just wanted to achieve something grand to give the skaa hope.{{book ref|mb1|4}}
 
   
 
The rebellion's army were hidden and trained in the [[Arguois caverns]], near the [[atium]] mines and the homeland of the [[kandra]].{{cite}}
During the thousand years of the Final Empire's existence, there had always been skaa rebels.{{book ref|mb1|6}} Around the year 700 FE they managed to gather seven thousand skaa and the end result was the [[Tougier|Massacre of Tougier]].{{book ref|mb1|4}} There has never been a successful massive revolt.{{book ref|mb1|6}}
 
   
  +
It lead to the fall of the [[Final Empire]] and, eventually, to the [[battle for Scadrial]].
Marsh gave up leadership of the skaa rebellion when Kelsier was sent to the [[Pits of Hathsin]].{{book ref|mb1|7}} At that time there were about three hundred rebels in and around [[Luthadel]] and the [[Arguois caverns]], including women and children.{{book ref|mb1|6}}
 
   
 
After the death of the [[Lord Ruler]], [[Elend Venture]] became king of [[Luthadel]] and the [[Central Dominance]]. This led to the [[Siege of Luthadel]].

Towards the end of the Final Empire the rebellion was led by a skaa man named Yeden. Yeden hired [[Kelsier's crew]] to help overthrow the Lord Ruler and his empire,{{book ref|mb1|4}} and the crew played a vital role in the formation and running of the rebellion's armies during this time.
 
 
*[[Breeze]] led a team of [[Soother]]s and [[Rioter]]s to help recruit soldiers from the skaa workers.{{book ref|mb1|10}}
 
*[[Ham]], who had previous military experience, was in charge of training the new recruits and was the military commander of the rebellion until [[Yeden]] replaced him. {{book ref|mb1|21}}
 
 
The soldiers in the rebellion's army were hidden and trained in the [[Arguois caverns]], near the [[Pits of Hathsin]] and the [[Kandra Homeland|Homeland]] of the [[kandra]].
 
 
Once [[Yeden]] replaced [[Ham]], he led the rebellion on a premature strike against the empire's garrison at the city of [[Holstep]]. As they were returning from their victory there, the garrison from [[Valtroux|Valtroux City]] caught up with them and ambushed the skaa soldiers, slaughtering everyone.
 
 
[[Demoux]] and a small group of about 2,000 soldiers stayed behind in the caverns because they thought [[Yeden]] was "acting rashly". Even though this effectively removed the rebellion from Kelsier's plan, they were eventually smuggled into [[Luthadel]] to help overthrow the [[Luthadel Garrison]].{{book ref|mb1|25}}
 
 
=== After the Final Empire ===
 
After the death of the [[Lord Ruler]], [[Elend Venture]] became king of [[Luthadel]] and the [[Central Dominance]]. The veterans of the rebellion joined, and formed the backbone of Elend's army. They fought for Elend during the [[Siege of Luthadel]] which culminated in the [[Battle of Hathsin]].{{book ref|mb3|81}}
