The overloaded space transport strained to lift off the ground, contragrav generators squealing. The ship was loaded with six-hundred tons of food and supplies for the colonists on the Concordiat's new colony world in the Sussex system. Slowly the ship lifted. The contragrav circuits lifted the transport higher and higher. Suddenly, over the New Rizon spaceport, the ship exploded.
Soldiers and civilians alike ran as flaming chunks of the transport rained down upon them. Men ran to their homes to their families as buildings collapsed from the schrapnel. Soldiers ran to the barracks and screamed into COM units. Only one thing reigned supreme, and that was chaos.

"Oberst Reed, I need you to tell me wether that was the 'conspiracy' roumered to be about or it was an accident. Macht Schnell!" Thirteen seconds later, a voice came on the line. It was not Oberst Reed. It was rasping and deeper. "We will topple the Concordiat with our steel!" The COM instantly died. Provost-General Thoma sat there, staring out the window. Nothing could get to his base, nothing...
