Yes. Alliance. And the number was 76. Mean anything to you?

Hey Crew, (Yet another interruption).
I created us one of them chat rooms that all the other crews have. Just thought we might need one by now so here's the link just in case you want to stop by.

I was with that platoon. The 72nd. The first four kills were mine. We lost a lot of good men that day. 73 Alliance troopers died, but all but 9 of ours did. *everyone at table looks surprised that spinebite is talking about it* What? Figure that since I was there, I might as well help the doc tell the story. Anyway, after Boros, what was left of us regrouped on Shongzhu. We almost had the planet under control, but the 34th Heavy Weapons Brigade was firmly entrenched just south of the Chingjin Chasm. So our platoon split into three groups. One snuck around to the east and another snuck around to the west and flanked them. My group, the 3rd group, drove down the middle, and the purplebellies retreated until they got to the Chingjin Chasm. When they realized that they had nowhere left to run, they surrendered. Knifed them all in the gut and let them all bleed out as revenge for Boros. 136 Alliance troopers dead from knife wounds to the stomach, and another 253 dead from gunshot wounds. We didn't lose a single man that day.

*BRG laughs softly* So you're the guy who shot Jonathon in the shoulder, first kill. He took one to the shoulder then one to the chest. Mean little SOB didn't wanna go down though! His guts were falling on to the ground and he was lying there swearing at me! "Put this Hwai back into me dammit!"
Yes, that was a grusome battle. We weren't prepared. The 76th were all barely trained and the 21st were caught off guard, half of us just sitting with our weapons all the way inside of our bunks. I hold respect for the Independents though. They fought for their freedom and did not commit the atrocities that the Alliance did, at least not on civilians. By the way, the civilian casualty count from Boros was roughly 19,000. Maybe when Zero comes back from her little starring contest with the stars I can tell you about why I stopped working for the Alliance and maybe a little about my short career as an arms dealer...
Wuo duh ma...

Tillie: That platoon you spoke on massacred a lot of innocent folks. Acted like the Nihons did at Nanjing back on Earth-That-Was. Didn't know they were called the 76th. Just wondering if they gave those criminals that number to dirty it up, take it away from the Independents. *clearly upset, she gets up from the table and sets about making herself a new cup of tea*

*Gets up, and goes over to Tillie*
You OK?
Tillie: I'm good
*sees that Tillie's not really interested in talking, and goes and sits down again at the table*
So all of you had some part in this war?
*looks around at everyone, and notices a bottle that looks like it may contain some form of alcohol*
May I?
*BRG pushes it closer, and Upper fills up a mug*
BRG: It was one of those, I guess, most people got involved in some way.
Right. So what was this war about? Land? Money?

The central government, the Alliance wanted all to have control over all of the planets in the system. The outer planets resisted Allaince control, fought back in what became known as the Unification War. To put it simply, the Alliance wanted to control everything. They fought the Independents and won. Mostly because of superior numbers and technology. But their special forces groups were far better then the Independent's were.

Tillie: *muttering under her breath* Yeah, better at behaving like reavers...
BRG: Exactly how-
Tillie: Rape? Check. Massacre-by which I mean horrifically brutal murders of innocent men, women, and children? Check. Devastation of entire villages? Check. Cannibalism and skin suits? Not so much.
*it looks like BRG is going to respond, but Upperson takes a big slug of her drink and smiles disarmingly at him*

*takes a big swallow from the mug and grins at the doctor*
So it was about land and money. The alliance wanted to use the land in the outer rim to produce more for less so that their companies could sell that back to the population of the central planets for more money. Any non-government enterprise would still provide more money to the government in the form of taxes and duties.
BRG: No it was about control.
*looks at the set expression on the doctor's face and shrugs*
Whatever you say doctor, I meant no offence
*takes another drink from the mug, and shuts up*
