OOC: This is just for fun: Basically a background thing on other events in the Marines universe, and to kind of show how the public might see the military of the CCC. May also foreshadow future compiliations. Marines Deployed to Volut for Peacekeeping Recent atrocities committed by the Volut Planetary Government and Army - most recently the massacre at Coldeville, a village on the northern continent - have forced President Whitehall to deploy a Marine FIST to keep the peace between the planetary government and the rebellion. So far, the Marines have been successful in preventing further crimes from being committed. Diplomatic Tension in the Outer Colonies Many recently-settled colonies in the Outer Rim are protesting what they consider to be a "lack of respect for their rights" by the Confederation government. President Whitehall said that he has sent an ambassador to hear their grievances, but had no other comment at this time. Discovery beyond the Outer Rim A mishap in navigation for an exploration expedition brought about a great discovery beyond the Outer Rim. The expedition - which had been searching for habitable planets - reportedly emerged in an asteroid field, and they discovered mysterious debris within the field. The Confederation Bureau of Investigation had no comment at this time. Civil War continues on Euradis The planet of Euradis continuees to be torn apart by a bloody civil war, despite the deployment of a full Confederation Army Division. The civil war rages between the planetary government - which is closely connected to the CCC for its Extrium production and export - and the Katanese minority, which is classified as a terrorist group by the Ministry of Defense. |

War With Volut? Reports are just filtering in from Confederation High Command that war has broken out between the Confederation and the planet Volut, where Marines were recently deployed for peacekeeping purposes. High Command Officials were very vague as to the circumstances behind the incident, or if we are even at war with the planet Volut at all. Updates will be released as soon as they arrive. Terrorism on Euradis! A devastating terrorist attack by the Katanese Resistance Front against the Euradis planetary government has forced President Whitehall and Minister of Interplanetary Affairs Moore to send a negotiator to Euradis to mediate the situation. It is unknown if further Confederation troops will be deployed. |

Victory on Volut Confederation Military officials have finally released an official statement on the rumored "Volut War" of last month. General Anthony Manson of the Confederation Marine Corps said that a Marine FIST, engaged in quelling a violent civil war, were betrayed by the planetary government, and despite casualties, managed to defeat the traitorous forces. Volut has been placed under military occupation and a transitional government is currently being set up. Confederation Ambassador Assassinated! Outrage spread through the Country Capital Confederation last week when Ambassador Herbert Bowling of the Department of Foreign Affairs was assassinated by a sniper on Euradis during peace negotiations between KRF and Planetary Government officials. The KRF denies any responsibility in the assassination. Minister of Foreign Affairs Kathryn Morgan - who was scheduled to arrive to handle the negotiations personally this week, released this statement: "I will not be intimidated by the tragic death of an accomplished comrade. Intimidation has never stopped the Country Capital Confederation from saving lives before, and it will not this week!" Minister Morgan, along with several Marine Corps FISTs, are scheduled to arrive at Euradis for a diplomatic gala sometime this week. |

Treachery on Euradis! Yesterday, a large-scale diplomatic gala, with many upstanding Confederation and EPG diplomatic personnel attending, including Minister of Foreign Affairs Kathry Morgan, was brutally attacked by unknown forces. There are fifty-six known dead, including Euradis Chancellor Hans Gerhard, and countless injured. Minister of Foreign Affairs Morgan is missing, and is presumed captured by the hostile forces. General Basset, of the 12th Infantry Division, released this statement: "We are convinced that this act of treachery and dishonor is the work of the notorious resistance movement, the Katanese Resistance Front. We shall retaliate with the full force of the Confederation's righteous fury!" When asked of the whereabouts of Minister Morgan, General Basset had no comment. Jacques Cartier, spokespeson for the KRF, released a response statement moments ago: "The KRF is NOT responsible for the deaths of these people, and expresses its condolences to the Euradis Planetary Government on the death of Chancellor Gerhard. It appears there are other forces at work, hoping to undermine both the KRF and the EPG." Currently, a total of three Marine FISTs and an Army Division are deployed to Euradis. Unconfirmed reports are coming in that the hostile forces have gained control of half of Belligerant, Euradis's capital city. It is unknown when and how the Confederation Military will retaliate at this time. |

Peace on Euradis! Last night, reports have finally filtered in from distant Euradis, where there was recently a campaign directed against the terrorist Katanese Resistance Front for attacking Confederation Military forces and attempting to kidnap and hold hostage the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kathryn Morgan. The attack began a week ago against the diplomatic gala the Minister was attending, where the leader of the KRF, Francois de Holle, was reported to have been killed, despite attempts by the KRF to cover up his death. The campaign ended three days ago, when the new leader of the KRF, Jacques Cartier, was killed during a joint Army-Marine effort. Major General Basset made this statement: "Despite our best attempts to capture the elusive Jacques Cartier, he committed suicide before we could apprehend him and bring him to justice. That is all that shall be released at this time." The Minister herself reappeared on the final day, having never been captured and had been eluding searches by KRF troops for the entire campaign. Minister Morgan has recently returned to World, and is recovering from her ordeal in Home Government Hospital. She released this statement regarding the campaign: "I am relieved to discover that the KRF has finally been defeated, and personally extend my thanks to the Marines of the Confederation Marine Corps for all they have done for me." It has been rumored that Confederation Marines protected the Minister throughout the campaign while she was behind enemy lines, but no information has been released at this time. The official death toll for the entire campaign has been released by CMF officials as 5,371 killed, and approximately 8,400 wounded. Negotiations Open in the Outer Colonies President Whitehall has recently sent out a diplomatic party to attend to the grievances of several of the Outer Colonies, who are threatening to secede from the Confederation. The President released a statement regarding this coalition's threats: "We will attempt to address any grievances these colonies may have, but the government and I will not tolerate secession and war against the people of the Confederation!" Expedition Disappears on Remote Colony World An expedition beneath the surface of a remote world just beyond the Outer Colonies has been reported as 'missing.' Further investigation by planetary authorities will determine the fate of expedition. |

Besieged! Ever since the Outer Colonial Coalition launched its unprovoked surprise attack on the Confederation last week, several thousand Confederation soldiers and marines have held out on the remote military outpost of Verdun, near the edge of the Outer Rim. Several units of the Army and Marine Corps were rushed to the planet by President Whitehall to make a stand as rebel troops closed in. On the second day of the war, the Confederation fleet in orbit was forced to retreat by an overwhelming rebel attack, leaving the forces on Verdun temporarily stranded with no support. President Whitehall made a statement on the heroics of the men on Verdun in a press release earlier today: "The heroes on Verdun have proven to be a great example and inspiration to us all. Against all odds, these men have managed to hold out against overwhelming numbers of enemy troops and munitions for an entire week! We must live up to their sacrifices by relieving them as soon as possible! Soon enough, we will launch a massive offensive to strike back against the secessionist menace, we will not let their sacrifices be in vain!" The rebel offensive into Confederation territory was decisively halted on the third day of the conflict due to the resistance at Verdun, as well as the mobilization of the Second and Fifth Fleets. All across the free Confederation, the people are cheering on the "Heroes of Verdun" to continue their courageous and tenacious resistance against the hated enemy. |
