Word of a fringe rebellion has been spreading, but getting recruits to sign up is proving to be a challenge. The Collective Unified Forces has put the colonies in a chokehold, restricting all actions and resources.

With enemies coming at them from every angle, they soon realize that no one, not even the fringe, wants them to succeed.
