History

During 2950-05, The ASOP terminals at Port Olisar, Stanton were found to be have been hacked, intermittently broadcasting a garbled XenoThreat propaganda speech, in which only the words "People of Stanton" were completely legible.

In early 2951, XenoThreat forces had attacked a corporate convoy in Stanton headed for the Terra system, destroying all cargo and publicly executing the crew as "collaborators of corporate greed". In response, the UEE Navy dispatched an armed contingent to deal with the threat.

On 2951-02-04, the same message was re-transmitted (this time in full with video) announcing the outlaws' revolutionary campaign beginning in the Stanton system, ostensibly to send a message to the UEE that "we are the ones in charge" and "you will be witnesses". Navy intelligence reported an indeterminate force on an intercept course for Stanton, due to arrive in less than 48 hours.

Advocacy SAIC Rowena Dulli activated the Civilian Defense Force (CDF) to provide support for Naval forces against the imminent incursion.
