User blog:Nikolai the Second/RECAP 5: Phoenix Soldiers

Prologue
Once again I have been called on to do the recap on THDF canon. I find that I am slowly becoming the scrib of the "village" who writes down everything that happens. I didn't ask for this job but Im glad that I can create a lasting impression upon THDF. Hopefully decades from now when people find this wiki on accident they will find inspiration from our stories made easily to acces via my blog series.

Part 1:
During the Night of the Long Knives over 100 politicians and military commanders were murduered in their sleep with many more failed attempts still surfacing all around Eafth.

The Chat remnants have regrouped just outside the Eafth system after their crushing defeat at Eafth not long ago. The remnants seam to be fighting each other at the moment.

The New Republic political leadership (not KARL) has proven itself too incompetant or too corrupt to launch investigations into the political assassinations. Any attempts to launch investigations have been gridlocked in the Senate. Furthermore, all of the available Military commanders were killed or wounded on the Night of Long Knives. Those that weren't killed or wounded are on campaigns too distant to be recalled home. Karl has been MIA since he awarded the Medals to THDF just before the attacks.

It is up to THDF to hunt down the people responsible for the attacks because nobody will. After rescueing Fox from a Zoo, Uvok received a Mayday signal from the TSS Darkened Hound near Moris stating that they were being stabbed in the back by Conite.

Evidence so far
During the attacks on Eafth, Richard-1337 noticed an old enemy dieing on the floor. It was none other than the man who killed his children on New Haven (http://thdf.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:25288), Luchesi the mercenary known for working with Black Fang.

Luchesi would die of his injuries but not before revealing to Richard that he just lost his brother and he understands his pain.

The last Bastion of Chat territory is Moris where Conite has ruled it with an iron first but there is a lot of revolutionaries waiting for the right moment. After some post war negotiation, black fang has decided to form a union with Conite for their protection from the NGR. Conite effectively owns Black Fang. I was planning of revealing this later on but for plot simplicity I have changed my opinion.

Part 2: Morris Campaign starts
THDF finds the TSS Darkened Hound taking heavy damage from a Conite vessel. THDF quietly inserts themselves onto the Conite vessel and disables it while the crew of the TSS explain (over comms) they were attending a peace conferance with Conite when they were attacked.

Bounty hunters on the Conite vessel confront THDF but are driven off. On their way out they sabotage the vessel and we crash on Morris. TSS Darkened Hound fate unknown.

Nikoli, Uvok, and Chrion emerge from the rubble and look for survivors. They find Andare appearing to be dead and move on. They seam to have crashed in a field somewhere.

Objectives:  1. Look for survivors.

2. Establish Communications with TSS Darkened Hound which won't be possible with Conite's ship's comms or the Team's mobile short range comms.
