A company of troops from the 1st Zone Infantry Brigade has arrived on Oscar as part of the HCS "peace keeping guests" force. The Zones have already slaughtered around 12 occupants of a human village near to their base. The HCS said the incident was regrettable and action would be taken against those responsible though no more details were given.
In reality the HCS have purposely sent the Zones there DDS sources say as this is part of an effort to remove all humans from Oscar before it can be bought into the Clone Star Empire. Some 60% of the human population has already left or is preparing to.
The human insurgency is continuing however, a lull in attacks was broken when 3 soft-skinned HCS vehicles were destroyed by IEDs killing 4 HCS soldiers. An army base was also struck by mortar fire though there were only slightly injuries.
