While technically a civil war, there were many colonies that managed to avoid the fighting entirely. To these people, the Uprising was a common term. Those more closely associated with the terrible bloodshed on Proxima Prime, Kerberos, Euryale, and Terra Nova referred to the period as the Civil War or the Proxima Emergency. The least remembered name was the Revolutionary War, a term only ever used by the few surviving members of the Echidna Union. Reports of the Proxima Emergency Jack still couldn’t believe they’d passed the final test and returned from their passing out parade. He’d been training for nearly a year, and now that the basic part of the process was over, the relief had drained almost all of his will from his body. An entire day had passed since then, and every single marine was looking forward to some R&R. Not Jack though. He’d just received news of a critical private video communication from his mother. That had been an hour ago, and he was still waiting for it to be vetted and cleared before he was allowed access to it.
