The Founding of the 1st Colonial Militia

The 1st Colonial Militia was founded after the Third Invasion of York. Many of the highly ranked Militiamen fought in the defense of York against an alliance of Mercenaries and Pirates. After the many skirmishes were over little had changed. York was safe from cutthroats but like Derby and Durham, not safe from the high taxes and foreign government associated with being a colony. A Declaration of Independence was voiced; it was time for the Colonials of Shartak to defend themselves and stop their dependence on foreign powers such as Britain and the Dutch. The need for people to stand up and be counted and serve their new country was paramount. Thus the 1st Colonial Militia was born. Made up of those fighting men who bravely volunteered to fight for the freedom of a new nation and defend others with their own lives, the 1st is made up of people from every walk of life; from soldiers to scientists.

The Colonial Militia is always looking for more brave men and women to join their ranks.

March 7th 2007

Following the victory for the defenders of York and the foiled attempts on the Shaman by Colonial Militia troops, we have now left York. With a secure perimeter established and York safe from any sizeable threat all troops are ordered to move out and contact officers ASAP regarding new objectives. The best way to do this is to PM an officer on the official forum.

The Colonial Militia would like to thank the Colonial Police for it's hospitality and particularly their Captain for his everlasting friendship and support. The CM will be back for the 'York Cup'. Area of Operations are classified as of present.

In other news the announcement of Elections has been a great victory for the Pro-Outisder cause in Durham. The Colonial Militia looks forward to working with Governor Nathan Hale once the election is won.

The Colonial Militia is no longer a member of the York Alliance. Differences in objectives have lead to the withdrawal of CM forces from the Alliance. Colonial Militia troops will continue with Sweep and Clear and Peacekeeping missions independent of the York Alliance. All Alliance troops are to be treated as neutral.

Colonial troops have been active in the fourth Invasion of York. The MG are now broken and it is only a matter of time before the 1st Imperial Privateers and JRG are routed. The Captain commends the bravery and efficiency of his men. A small contingent of Colonial Troops commanded by Sgt Richard Quinton have been deployed into Derby to aid in the defense of Derby against the headhunter threat. This marks the start of Operation 'Lending Hand'.
