Con

Con was a United Earth Republican planet that was known to be among the Inner Colony worlds in the Zorna System. Its largest populated urbanized metropolis was Cash, its capital. It had a history of volcanic activity and appeared to be a cold world.
The Planet was literally damaged by the Universal Generation in 2164 while attempting to locate the Human home world of Earth.
== History ==
Con was one of the major focus points of the Earth Con War, in 2144, where UER forces operated against the Conanian bomb cells. At least one Battalion of UER Marines were involved with ongoing operations on the planet, supported by the URS Carnage and flights of Vulk Gunships.
One of the missions involved Staff Sergeants Carter Mcknight and Nash Hardelem leading two squads of Marines after Coninian bomb makers. Three members of Mcknight's team were killed in a Danora restaurant when one of the female rebels detonated a bomb during a hostage situation, also killing 38 civilians. Mcknight and Hardelem were both injured in the incident, Mcknight slightly and Hardelem critically.
After the Universal Generation discovered Mankinds last line of defense at Hokus VII, they also attacked the other colonies in the system, including Con. Corporal Harry "Torque" was present during the evacuation of the colony, and witnessed the near-total destruction of the UER Navy escort fleet in orbit as they protected civilian refugees.
This gave him a thorough respect for the Navy, unlike many Marines or other Soldiers of the U.E.R's Orbtial Shock Soldiers. The colony was apparently under siege for some time. This is evidenced from Team Hokus's mission to destroy a Universal Generation Beacon that was mining Helm-13 to provide energy for the fleet blockading Con.
During the final evacuations of the planet's capital, Cash, a team of Zarcadia soldiers was deployed to hold off Universal Generation forces, along side marines with heavy armored units, that were attacking evacuation centers. Thanks to the efforts of this fireteam the civilian-casualties during the battle would be comparatively low, although the team was confirmed 100% KIA.
