Colonial Wars

"The Colonial Wars began with a madman trying to seize power of independent colonies whom most had opposed the Federation. The madman used his massive force to tighten a grip around those who didn't comply. The Colonial Wars would end with a new superpower taking over. The UGR, but for some reason, most folks were alright with them. Strange how you perceive yourself..."

- Sergeant John Trenton recalling the Colonial Wars

The Colonial Wars is a major conflict that took place in Human Space located in the Cerberus Galaxy after a power vacuum became present following the Ra'dam Federation collapsing at the end of the Cerberus Galactic Conflict.

The conflict started with former Federation Councilor, Vance Thaddeus looking to secure power and control over humanity. Having assisted Titan Corporation bring down the Federation in return for their resources to assemble an army to quickly and confidently take over Human Space, under the callsign of Action Zero.

When Action Zero became a reality, most of humanity was still reeling from the Galactic Conflict because of this, many fell under the banner of the Thaddeus' reign.

However, Thaddeus' land grab came to a halt when the Republic of Horizon arose to challenge him. The Republic, having been one of the major colonial planets that the Federation had funded and developed, had been left almost entirely unscathed by the Galactic Conflict. Because of this, Thaddeus would be forced into an all out war with the Republic.

To increase the tension of the arising conflict, another force would emerge, calling itself the Theron Protectorate, a conglomerate of private businesses, mercenaries, banks and trade corporations. This would make the Protectorate a very dangerous foe through their one strength: wealth.
