The Story
The Black Hawk is assisting in the construction of a new facility in a nearby system that will enhanse the facilities supplied by the nearby Starbase 12. During the cousre of the construction a series of diplomatic mishaps causes the ambassador to request that a platoon from the 263rd be sent to help the ambassadorial detachment. When an incident, caused by a seperatist group with ties to the planetary government, seemingly causes the marine under Major Hof's command to open fire on protesters, who were armed. But the weapons carried by the group disappear shortly after the incident and the ambassadorial compound is all but destroyed in an attempt to wipe out the Federation contingent. While a small contingent fight to stay alive, the Black Hawk herself is under attack and being blocked in rescuing those on the planet.
