The Insurrection

Overview
‘The Insurrection’ refers to the colonial rebel cells that occupy various settlements of every colony. They are like a weed, cropping up in rich and poor settlements alike. They have no base of operations, so the Colonial Militia have no idea where their strength lies, or where they’ll strike next. The average Insurrectionist will where civilian clothes, but also a crimson bandanna over there faces, to avoid recognition. Ironically, they severely out gun the Militia, with their corporate-supplied weapons, such as the powerful Magnetic Fusil. They regularly fight alongside Corporate troops.

History
In the early months of 2103, pamphlets and posters began appearing around the Five Colonies, detailing why Earth Federation taxes and regulations are holding back colonial economies. These rumours where started by Corporate agents, trying to win the colonists over to their side. The Corporations already employed and owned much of the Five Colonies, but the Colonial Militia always kept a close eye on their activities, on behalf of the Federation. Eventually, a large number settlers began to gravitate towards the idea of independance, with the Corporations promising them wealth and liberty. But all they are fighting for is Corporate profits.
