Combat Blockade Runners

## **General Information:**

In 2243 a group inside of the UCE began to grow distant with the factions policies on handling Pirate blockades which sometimes kept entire colony worlds starving for months while the UCE could muster a fleet to deal with the threat. Retired Vice Admiral Abigale Cambell started a movement for a split-off faction in 2239 and 4 years later she won the votes she required and was given the Colony world of **Regulus** to use as the factions capital world, sticking to her original goal of rendering rapid aid to colony worlds both UCE and CBR Abigale Cambell named the new faction the **C**ombat **B**lockade **R**unners and set about designing a fleet that was built to run through blockades instead of fighting them head on. CBR and the UCE formed a formal Alliance in 2276 which included a mutual defence pact. CBR fought valiantly throughout the 2nd Insurrectionist War, G-Corp Civil War, The Loyalist Uprising and the Collective War and are still active to this day.

## **Divisions of CBR:**

* **CBR Navy**
* CBR Army
* CBR Special Forces

## **G-Corp Civil War:**

During the G-Corp Civil war the Combat Blockade Runners joined the **United Federation of Colonies** and formed the allied forces. During the war CBR was led by the late Prime Minister Rosa Carter aboard the Dreadnaught *Hope Eternal* CBR took part in many of the minor operation throughout the war but primarily ran relief missions to starving colonies under the grip of G-Corp. However, when the G-Corp Emperor attacked the Sol System destroying Mars CBR rose to the occasion and alongside the UFI launched an aggressive retaliation assault destroying many G-Corp held space stations. In retaliation the **G-Corp Emperor** dispatched a fleet to destroy the CBR's capital worlds of **Regulus** during the siege **Darren Shepheard** and **Sam Wilson** headed a fleet to aid in the defence of the planet. During the invasion of **Azerfar** CBR was unable to aid in the original assault as G-Corp was assaulting their capital world of Regulus for the 2nd time, however CBR beat back the attacking G-Corp forces and was able to render aid at the Battle of **Azerfar** in the 11th hour.

## **Loyalist Uprising:**

During the Loyalist uprising the Combat Blockade Runners played a very minor role, due to the conflict being an internal matter. However, after seeing Davis for who he truly is Prime Minister Rosa Carter attempted to get into the fight however it was too little too late. Only days after the CBR publicly took a stand against the loyalists a large Loyalist fleet arrived over regulus and destroyed the CBR home fleet and killing Prime Minister Rosa Carter. The CBR wouldn't recover for almost 7 months with Prime Minister Angus Marks taking the rains after the emergence of the **UFC** and the defeat of the Loyalists.

## **Collective War:**

During the beginning of the war against the Collective the CBR launched several strike missions against Collective targets however with little success. Not even a week into the conflict the CBR's capital world of **Regulus** was attacked and destroyed, marking it as the single greatest loss of life in the history of the Quadrant. After the loss of their capital world CBR was out of the war and their remaining military forces scattered across the quadrant.
