Lewiston Prison Attacked
PLANET ERIE - Latest news reports out of Erie suggest the increase in Militant activity is reaching beyond the capabilities of Liberty Police as a Militant assault team raided Lewiston Prison. Lewiston, a correctional and rehabilitation facility, housed many hardened criminals and chiefly captured Separatists from the Bering Campaign that saw the purge of criminal elements from Bering. In the early hours of 3-25-836 AS, explosions shook the facility as light aircraft dropped in the unidentified assailants. Police and correctional officers were overwhelmed by these uniquely trained terrorists, but managed a call for aid to the Liberty Army.
Liberty's 124th External Security Battalion responded to the incursion and engaged the terrorists in close combat as prisoners fled from their cells. With the arrival of the 124th, the terrorists, identified now as Militants who continue to resist Liberty's efforts in Pennsylvania, the terrorists began to flee the scene with a number of freed Separatists. Initial reports on the ground say there has been extensive damage to Lewiston and a large number of guards and Policemen have been killed, but in turn 18 of the raiders were killed in the most intense battle on the ground since the Gallic War.
A spokesman for the Erie Governors Office has released a statement that security will be tightened and the perpetrators will be brought to justice. It has been surmised that the liberation of the captured Separatists, a mix of former Navy officers and crew with experience in combat, was the aim of the assault. The Spokesman has assured the public that even with their escape, these Separatists were defeated before and will be defeated again.
Anyone else finding it odd that the Militants are being more brazen? I saw some in these teal 'NAVPAT' uniforms during that fight and some of the peeps on Sirichannel /k/ are saying they're Utsunomiyan Navy, some sort of Zoner nation-state out of Gran Can. Navy friend said one of their ships sunk one of ours weeks ago and that the Navy's been having a hard time fighting them. Really getting nervous about staying here on Erie if our house can't protect us, especially from some backwater Zoner navy.
Erie shall be taken away from the illegal occupants! Free Erie! Justice To Zoners!

My internet decided to die on me and I shall be back promptly!✀ Also, if I'm not back for a longer time the internet really took some time off (blame the ISP).
I think @Fleetarin is probably right. The local Militants are just bloodthirsty hillbillies and dirt-rakers. Erie's people prefer the Republic's generous citizenship offers, and the holdouts aren't smart enough to free these turncoat traitors from Bering anyway. Anything left of their cause no doubt consists of these foreign radicals that don't have Erie's interests at heart.
If you want to keep Erie safe, consider a range of smart investments in Detroit Munitions stock today! The Navy's out there fighting to protect us - you can earn big by giving something back!
'Correctional and rehabilitation facility'. Those are the same words on the outside of Huntsville and Sugarland, ain't they? Those notorious breeding grounds for Liberty's underworld because of how antithetical to those words they actually are?
Shocker.
Don't mourn the deaths of Liberty's fodder. They didn't mourn defenseless civilians in Cortez when the LSF gunned them down like dogs on the trade lanes. 'Terrorist' is just a label they slap on anyone they don't like that threatens Ageira's monopoly on your lives.
Wake the fuck up, people. They're pulling a Koeppler on you all, and you're chewing the bark like they want you to.

Well, I tried to work with the Governor of Erie. He was not interested in working with me or our people and I was dismissed. He had his chance. Free Erie!!
