The '''California''' '''Crisis''' also known as the '''Heick War''', or simply the '''1993 Skinhead Expulsion''' in the Purple West, was a military coup and armed conflict sparked by the rise of the Anti-Heickist sentiment in Wyoming, Nevada, and Oregon as well as the Wyoming Centralization Movement led by Richard B. Cheney, which resulted in President Bob Heick's California government being deposed and Dick Cheney replacing Heick's cabinet with his own in Sacramento. The war began when Navy general Henry L. Garrett III captured the San Francisco, strategically stationing ships and marine infantry in the central coast and closing radio and television networks. The City of San Francisco informed Heick of the Navy's actions; immediately, Heick fled with his bodyguards to Bakersfield. The opposition in the California government separated from Heick and fled to Santa Rosa, knowing they would be safe there.▼
During the invasion of California, Heick gave his final speech, vowing to stay in the Bakersfield compound and refusing offers of safe passage should he choose exile over confrontation. Bob Heick died in the compound by shooting himself in the head with a double barrel shotgun.▼

== Background ==
Line 47 ⟶ 32:
Bob Heick, a follower of Heydrich based in San Francisco, quickly turned into a prominent figure of the new National Socialist politics with his already large clique of skinheads in the American Front. While Berlin's overseer of the American Order, Joachim Peiper, saw Heick as a good candidate for governorship of the Californian National Socialist government in 1987 after the German Military Government was beginning to gradually loosen its grip over what was now called the "Purple West", Heydrich saw him as immature and bombastic. Despite this, Peiper appointed Heick governor of California on the 9 October 1987, despite Heick having never held office in any previous government.
