Primary Species: Humans Other member species and their roles: None Flag: White backround with a black shield and two swords crossed. Fleet sizes: 3 Carrier Battlegroups consiting of 1 Carrier, 3 Battle ships and 9 Destroyer escorts each. Population: 3,230,900 Civilan, 2,502,500 Enlisted. Other information: During the covenant war, a large group of colonists saw the state the UNSC was in and feared the worst for humanity. Being led by a group of disgruntaled ODSTs, they set out to get as far away from the UNSC as possible, hoping to avoid extinction. This was 2 years after the war started. After 10 months of hardship, they found the planet they had been waiting for. A small garden world, perfect for habitaion and rich in mineral resources. These people were determined to resist the covenant at any cost and the entire system was based around the military.
A number of measures were taken to increase the population quickly An exterme example of Quality vs Quantity, there ground forces are better equppied, trained and motivatied then nearly anything currently known. They fight using guerilla tactics and almost every citizen owns and is trained in the use of weapons. Their one weakness however is their fleet which is underdevolped whose training is only based on theroy. To compensate for this, the planet is protected by several massive anti-orbital guns and many smaller ones, requiring an opposing force to establish ground control before gaining space control, which is exactly what the U.C.R wants.
A Terraforming effort is underway on Citadel VI and a mining operation is being conducted on the asteriod belt surrounding the solar system.
After years of silence, long range probes are pinging.. They're now waiting for someone to make the first move, be it agression or peace.
