Bright Horizon is a mining colony discoveredand settled by the Omni Consumer Pleasure(OCP) consortium. OCP has a long history oftreating Bright Horizon as a fiefdom. Theplanetary governor, always an OCP employee,

rules by decree rather than consent and this,coupled with an upsurge in banditry in thecolonys outlying sectors, has inexorably led todisaffection and demonstration among thesettler population.

Wishing to nip any thought of revolt in the bud,OCP flew in two mercenary regiments.However here OCPs market research failed asthe contractor, Unicorn Unlimited, has a welldeserved reputation for heavy handednessand brutality. Rather than smothering the flameof revolt, Unicorns goons fanned the flame into

a firestorm.

As clashes between Unicorn forces andmembers of the United Mine Workers of BrightHorizon (UMBH) increased, units of thePlanetary Defense Forces (PDF) joined thefighting. The commander of the PDF, GeneralJuma, was, as all of her predecessors hadbeen, a mid level employee of OCP. Howeverthe rank and file of the PDF were drawn fromthe same population as the UMBH and ratherthan side with the Unicorn off worlders, thePDF mutinied against Juma and joined theirkin in the rebellion.

The political arm of the joint UMBH and PDFforces soon styled itself the DemocraticAssembly of Bright Horizon (DABH). One ofthe first official acts of the DABH congress wasto collect funds for, and to contract, a

mercenary force to counter Unicorn, DropZone Aegis (DZA) accepted the contract and

dispatched the famous Helljumpersof the 7th

Regiment to Bright Horizon.

Stiffened by the Helljumpers, rebel forcesmade slow but steady headway against OCPforces. However this success was illusory asOCP had been merely fighting a holding action

as fresh forces were gathered to strike at theflanks of the PDF offensive. The Helljumperswere quickly rerouted in a bid to halt thiscounter offensive.

The small mining facility of Caydons Hope liesdirectly in the path of the OCP counteroffensive and it is here that rebel forces havechosen to make their stand. The facility is to beheld as long as possible.

As part of this action Rebel command hasidentified two targets of opportunity:

A communication vehicle whosecapture would impair Unicornelectronic countermeasures (objectiveSTORM).

A platoon of artillery tractors, whosecapture or elimination will slowmovement of UU heavy artillery assets(objective ICE).
