Colhamb Uprising

The Colhamb Uprising was a minor conflict between forces of the Confederation of Ordered Governments and the denizens of an Outsider village located inside the ruins of the old COG city of Colhamb.
In 39 A.E., the Confederation had negotiated the annexation of the Colhamb settlement with the village leadership, but the majority of the village's populace remained distrustful of the Confederation, reluctant to trust men who, to them, looked and behaved just like those of the Coalition. In Gale of 40 A.E., violence erupted after a riot broke out when a caravan of Gears from the 1st Clayvale Infantry stopped in the village to rest for the night. The village chief eventually came out and attempted to quell the uproar, but was instead beaten unconscious by the mob of rioters, saved from death only because Gears managed to pull him free of the mob. One of the Gears, Sergeant First Class Natalie Randall attempted to negotiate with the rioters, but the Gears were ultimately forced to retaliate against them after several of the rioters pulled guns and began shooting. Eight Gears were wounded in the ensuing firefight, one of which was left permanently crippled due to a Longshot round damaging his spine. All survived, however, managing to escape the village and flee to a nearby friendly encampment, where the wounded were stabilized and airlifted to Clayvale via King Raven.
The Confederation would briefly attempt to renegotiate with the Colhamb Outsiders, but it quickly became clear that the village's new leadership wanted nothing to do with them. Despite this, in 42 A.E. desperate distress signals were received from the Colhamb settlement by the Confederation, however, by the time forces arrived to render aid, the village appeared to have been ransacked and abandoned.
