Niobe Prime is known for it's Correctional Complex
About
895AE - Hundreds of prisoners escape from Niobe Prime. This was the foundation of the more organized Rebellion.
The Birth of a Movement
The first action of the Rebs, as they were quickly dubbed by underground media channels, was aimed at Niobe Prime Correctional Complex. It was meticulously planned. At the midnight guard rotation, all hell broke loose. Explosives were detonated at key locations to prevent guard movement; smoke bombs and EMP charges killed all audio and visual streams. A small flotilla of transports approached on a low vector, straight past anti-air turrets that were mysteriously deactivated, as planted agents ushered the protesters from their cells and into the courtyard. Sixteen minutes after the first detonation, there was no sign of the prisoners or their rescuers.
The mass exodus from Niobe Prime was the catalyst for the start of a more formalised Rebellion. Exchanging coded information via the subnet, groups began to coalesce together, moving out from the Core Worlds and setting up base camps in the Expansion Zone. As before, they came from all walks of life, many with useful skills and contacts that helped the fledgling movement gain momentum. Former quartermasters and illicit arms dealers worked together to source weapons, while engineers and technicians began work on communications gear and explosives. As leaders began to emerge from the ranks, discussing what their eventual goals would be, it was agreed that all-out war would never be an option. They could never stand up to even a single full-strength Corporate Army, let alone an Enforcer patrol. Theirs would be a guerrilla war.
