August 2179 AD

MISSION BACKGROUND:

In January 2179 the CSC (Central Space Consortium - A alliance of corporations) lost control of the Colony on Crysalis. The CSC Security forces were overthrown by a worker coalition. After this revolution the once united worker coalition split into three groups. The Worker Liberations Party (WLP), Freedom unite and Revolutionary Guard (RG). The Freedom Unite was soon absorbed into the WLP faction. Strengthened by this addition the WLP went for the RG to control the colony and a bloody civil war erupted. The battle for control over the colony on Crysalis raged until May 2179 when a cease fire agreement was signed, but almost immidiately broken by both sides. But at least the conflict seemed to have cooled down somewhat. Until now the ICC (Interstellar Commerce Comission - A powerful alliance of countries and corporations lead by the United Americas, controling the USCM) more or less had stayed out of the conflict, except for diplomatic contacts between both worker groups and the CSC.

After the negotiations broke down again, CSC Security were forces sent to the moon in July and made a bloody attempt to re-take control and clear out the two worker group but failed and had to pull out. But as the humanitarian situation rapidly deteriorated after renewed fighting in the summer, the ICC started to send in aid for the moons 10.000 colonists. These food supplies were however hijacked by both the WLP and the RG and then sold on the black market for weapons. The colonists starved and the ICC started a blockade to prevent gunrunners, enforced by the USCM. Evidently weapons still slipped through because the fighting escalated even further, fueled by the new weapons technology and funds by the Chinese to the Revolutionary Guard. The RG quickly gained the upper hand and now controls most of the main colony, however a large contingent of WLP fighters have laid siege to the main colony.

Operation Crysalis Relief started one month ago with USCM escorting food supplies down to Medusas besieged colonists - Problem is that desperate WLP militiamen are doing what they can to get their hands on the supplies. Several clashes between USCM and WLP forces have already occured. Revolutionary Guard units are inside the city but have so far restrained from openly attacking USCM personell and have held a low profile.

The USCM is building up it's forces in the system to what looks like a full scale invasion to clear out both the WLP and the RG from the colonies and re-instate ICC authority over the colonies. But until the USCM forces in the system have to run escort missions, covering the supply convoys from the base camp situated some 20 kilometer out in the wilderness into Medusa colony.

Welcome to Crysalis.
