For those I left behind - the memoirs of Colonel Jason Myers

[Jansen]

Upon our arrival in Coronado the Admirals had been outlawed, they had formed a group they called the Vanguard and continued to damage the Republics enemies wherever possible. The hope that they could ever return to the Republic was low, they committed high treason, a crime that would have costed them and everyone supporting them, that would have been everyone within their crew their lives.
A new President had taken over, he had formed a government, all of those were people I never had heard of, upon further investigation I found out that they had not been elected, so this government was not a righteous one.
I decided to hope for the best and remained within the Republic, following orders given by this new government. However it soon turned out that they tried to reform the Military once more, they attempted to reduce the numbers of active units by incredible amounts.
As if they would completely ignore the Gallic danger.


Then, as they tried to remove me from the Pandoras command, I understood that this new government would surrender the Colonial Republic to the Gallics as soon as they reach Coronado. Everything we had fought for, all the lives that had been lost would have been useless.
That was the time when I remembered what the Colonial Freedom Front had fought for and I understood that they were right, even though I could not understand how they could fight their own people back then. I now understood why it would be necessary to fight for the Colonial Republic freedom, even if that would mean that I had to fight against the Republic itself to achieve my goal.
Nearly all of the former soldiers within my combat wing thought the same way that I did, but only a limited number of them joined me and left the Republic behind, we were willed to fight against our own people in order to bring the Colonials what they deserved and needed in order to survive in these harsh times, freedom and justice.
