History
The Sovereign Colonies were a trio of star systems that chose to secede from The Initiative in 2237 CE, during the Sovereign Colonies Conflict. Because of their initial decisions, the Sovereign Colonies only lasted until 2238 CE. The three primary worlds of the Sovereign Colonies were recaptured entirely within a matter of weeks, with the rest of their star systems falling shortly thereafter. Despite that, the Sovereign Colonies persisted, with its most die-hard citizens conducting guerrilla campaigns against the occupying forces. However, near the middle of 2238, after months of strikes by the occupying forces, even these die-hard fanatics were forced to surrender, and with them, the Sovereign Colonies were abolished.
Military
The Sovereign Colonies Armed Forces (SCAF) was derived from the System Defense Forces (SDF), the Civil Defense Forces (CDF), and portions of local Ground Forces Command (GFC) garrison, in addition to newly raised militias. Much of the equipment used by the SCAF's ground forces was that issued by the Initiative to the units that defected, as well as hunting weapons and improvised equipment, while the vessels were those used by the Civilian System Patrol (CSP) and the SDF.
