They first made their appearance in the outbreak of the conflict between the colonies and natives, Fanrong, like many others, were isolated and vulnerable and were on the verge of collapse. The Fanrong Colony managed to survive thus far thanks in part of the Grave Company mercenaries. With the arrival of a Marine Expeditionary Force from Canton, the mercenaries were free to live, but remained, mostly out of some Altruistic sense of duty. [b]Brief History:[/b] Once word spread of the discovery of Dacyira, worlds in the surrounding sectors begun to stack their claim as colony ships were sent en mass. The Canton colony ship of [i]Xīn shǔguāng[/i] was among them, Carrying two hundred thousand colonists, she made her long voyage from Canton to this new alien world ripe for the taking. And unlike many other colony operations, the Cantonese had a slight head start. The IMIB, a close partner of the Canton Alliance, had set claim on the planet in the form of the Astani Mining Corporation, they were among the first to settle on he surface. As such, the Cantonese colonists had a safe, secure region lands for them. Dozens of colonial settlements rose up within ASM territory, all to fulfill a purpose. Fanrong was to be one of several agricultural settlements, a main source of food for the whole region. A year later, it seemed the colonists were safe from the conflict and fighting. However, soon the Natives became more aggressive and hostile, and begun to raid the Canton Settlements simultaneously. The campaign lasted a year before the dacyrii were pushed out. But that years was cold and bloody one for the people, the natives were slowly choking the colonists to death as the settlements were cut off and isolated from one another. The Fanrong colonists feared the worst as they were to become a target for their food stockpiles, and were besieged. Hope for a fighting chance came in the form of a small mercenary company, Grave Company as they referred to themselves. The Governor had acquired their assistance for quite a hefty sum, but nonetheless, the mercenaries were all that was needed for the Militia to hold back the aliens and push them out. Today, times have become for dire for the Canton Settlements, as now even other colonies are encroaching upon their territory. Fanrong stands at the frontlines of this war, side by side with their mercenary allies.
