[C.F.D] Colonial Frontline Defence

The Colonial Frontline Defence Service issued a rousing war update today, confirming that the opening days of the campaign have concluded in decisive success. According to High Command, all primary objectives have been achieved, marking what officials describe as “a triumph” for Colonial arms.

Enemy forces launched a determined assault upon The Manacle in an effort to shatter the Colonial line. The attack was met with resolute resistance. “They tried to break us. They failed,” the broadcast declared. The Wardens have been repelled, and the strategic position remains firmly in Colonial hands.

With The Manacle secured, new orders are now in effect. Command has shifted total operational focus to Ocelot Bridge. Units have been instructed to advance, secure, fortify, and hold the vital crossing at all costs.

In the skies above the theatre, the first Colonial aircraft have taken flight. Dogfights are reportedly underway. Pilots have been issued strict orders to fly and fight in pairs, underscoring the importance of discipline and mutual protection in the air war. “A lone pilot is a dead pilot,” the broadcast warned.

On the ground, special commendation was given to the Medical Corps, whose tireless efforts continue to save countless lives under fire. Logistics and Facility teams were likewise praised as “the engine of this war,” with officials crediting their relentless production efforts as the foundation of continued victory.

In a grave development, intelligence has confirmed the defection of Officer Clue, who has allegedly turned traitor. A bounty has been declared, and authorities have announced that the penalty for treason remains death by firing squad.

Despite the severity of the conflict, morale appears high. As the transmission concluded, the message to all Colonial forces was clear: the war is only just beginning.

“Stay Positive. Stay Green. Stay Colonial.”

The Colonial Frontline Defence Radio returned to the airwaves this week with a message crackling with urgency and resolve. Carried across the front lines and into workshops, barracks, and mess halls alike, the broadcast heralded a decisive turning point in the conflict and called upon every Colonial citizen to prepare for what promises to be a campaign for the history books.

“The winds of war are changing,” the announcer declared, his voice steady beneath the hum of static. After months of watchful tension along the horizon, uncertainty is said to be giving way to action. Across airfields and naval yards, Colonial engineers, test pilots, and production crews have been hard at work trialling the latest marvels of modern warfare.

Reports speak of powerful new aeroplane engines roaring skyward in test flights that strain the very limits of the clouds. At sea, formidable naval assets now cut through the waves with unmistakable authority. According to C.F.D., the research gathered through these trials has proved invaluable. The lessons learned, the broadcast insisted, “will be the chisel with which we carve our victory.”

Yet innovation alone will not win the day. Timing, the C.F.D. warns, is everything.

Zero hour for the war over Charlie Shard has been set for February 9 at 12:00 Eastern Time — 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time. All personnel are urged to synchronise their watches without delay. “The Wardens will not wait for you to finish your tea,” the broadcast cautioned pointedly.

Anticipation for the campaign has reached what officials describe as a fever pitch. Barracks are expected to overflow as volunteers flood recruitment posts. Recruits are advised to deploy early to avoid the disappointment of missing the opening volleys. As the announcer quipped, “The early soldier gets the frag.”

The call to arms extends beyond the rifle line. The C.F.D. stresses that victory depends upon every pair of hands. Mechanics and factory workers are needed to oil gears and maintain production. Crews are sought to command heavy vehicle assets. Medics are called upon to serve with the now-renowned field teams who work tirelessly to patch up the wounded beneath fire. Even the C.F.D.’s own radio corps seeks fresh voices to carry news and encouragement across the theatre.

Above all, the broadcast struck a note of unity and initiative. Rank, listeners were reminded, “is just a badge; true leadership is in the spirit.” Every member of the Colonial Frontline Defence is encouraged to speak boldly, innovate freely, and seize opportunity where it presents itself. “Let your voice be heard above the artillery,” came the rallying cry.

Officials predict that the coming struggle will be vast in scale and enduring in memory. “This war is going to be a big one—a campaign for the history books,” the station proclaimed. Volunteers are urged to decide now whether they will fade into footnotes or rise as legends spoken of in mess halls for years to come.

In lighter notes, the broadcast acknowledged the continued support of PET Milk, credited with keeping “bones strong and spirits high,” and welcomed Lucky Strike Cigarettes among its sponsors, assuring listeners that “nothing settles the nerves quite like a Lucky.”

As the transmission drew to a close, the message was unmistakable: the enemy will find no sanctuary in the skies, nor command of the seas. Charlie Shard, the C.F.D. vows, shall remain firmly in Colonial hands.

The final words rang clear through the wireless:

“Stay positive. Stay alert. And above all — Stay Colonial.”
