General Chapman room 
October, 3030
Fred Chapman received a communication from the new First Prince of the Federation Suns Andrew Davion. Asking for assistance in destroying those that had killed his father. Fred accepted and took the 1st Regiment Defense Force under the mercenary company name Chappy’s DragonSlayers, during the months of fighting the First Prince and Fred bonded.
 
Fred became a good friend and advisor to the First Prince in which he started funneling equipment from the Chapman Corporation to Davion forces for a profit of course. General Chapman eyed his wife while she was getting ready for the day, drinking coffee, and wondering how he got lucky marrying this woman. A woman of strength, a woman of kindness, but also a woman of pure terror toward her enemies. 
“Honey, what do you think of the battle plan for Alpheratz.”
Colonel Nichole Chapman turned from the mirror and looked at her husband.
“Always about the plan. I am too busy right now putting on my makeup, besides I am not on duty right now.” she to him.
Matthew was about to reply with something funny when the comm came alive.
((“Sir, a communication packet just arrived, it’s from the First Prince Davion.”))
Matthew Sighed looked at his wife, “See I am always on duty hence the reason it’s always about the plan. Thank you, bridge push it down to my quarters. Chappy out.”
Matthew moved over to his noteputer and open the message, First Prince face appeared.
<<“Matthew, hope all is well, from the reports I have been getting it looks like your nation is growing faster than even you predicted. The reason for this message is simple. You owe me, and now I want to collect on some of that. I am planning to invade the planet Dieron, I have two units from the Lyran Commonwealth. Both commanders know you, and I have two units from my forces both commanders have fought with you. I want you to bring your regiment and be in command of all the units. Taking Dieron from the Combine will be a major step in solidifying my the new FedCom when my son takes over. It will also be the start of winding down the war, which was the only way to get the Archon to let me use two of her units. I am making a final push against the Capellan Confederation and hope that by the end of 3031 to have the nation completely wiped out. I need you at the system Rocky by end of March 3031 I have sent jump point locations to your navigator since the planet has been abandoned for hundreds of years and has been taking off the star maps. Like I said you owe me I won’t take no for an answer.”>> With that Hanse face disappeared then a list of the data packets for download showed. Matthew pushed the noteputer away from his body and slammed his fist on the table. Nichole walked over and put her arms around her husband and said. “When will the payback be enough?”
“I don’t know by dear, I just don’t know. In my gut I knew not to take him up on his offer of a planet and resources, since I had that already, but it was just so much that he offered, now we are paying for it. Giving them new mechs from our factory I have no problem with, but this demand is big. I think though that we will need to stand up the ‘Jericho’ sooner than later along the Federated Suns border just in case the next time he ask too much and gets offended when I finally say no.”
Nichole moved away from her husband. “Got you, I will make the arrangements with our corporation. I will use the black site that way it is kept from the public eyes and away from the spies that Hanse has in our nation.”
“Thanks Love, I will get on making the necessary rearrangement of troop movements to accommodate this inconvenience, being gone from our nation for a year and a half will not be fun. I need to contact Ben also.”
Nichole looked back to her husband. “Mmm...Ben....Ben....Oh yes the son of Jacob they are on Dieron right now aren’t they?” 
“Yes, I need better intel than the FedSuns can provide.”
