==Plot synopsis== | ==Plot synopsis== | ||
''Free Frontier Educaton: The Sundered Legion'' is presented as a transcript for an in-universe documentary of the same name, focusing on the history of the [[Insurrection]] on [[Meridian]]. The story is fictionally narrated by [[Myras Tyla]], a celebrity from [[Earth]] who escaped [[Cleveland]] during the [[Battle of Cleveland|Covenant attack]] in [[2552]]. Tyla begins the story by noting that the events covered begin in [[2495]] - three years following the [[Far Isle rebellion]] and the same year in which [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]]' [[Secessionist Union]] had taken [[Eridanus II]] for the rebel cause. She then narrates the history of the [[Sundered Legion]] on Meridian, covering their emergence amidst the [[Colonial Military Authority]]'s departure from the planet in [[2499]] and gradual rise to power over the ensuing decades. A mid-reel break interrupts the story, advertising [[BLAST|BLAST Beverages]], before continuing the narration of the UEG-Sundered Legion antagonism on Meridian as the planet becomes a military-economic powerhouse for the UEG as a whole. This tension explodes in [[2516]], with the [[Siege of Aethia]] and [[Operation: TREBUCHET]]. The short ends with a tease to hear the next chapter of Meridian's history - focusing on the [[Human-Covenant War]] - after a commercial break consisting of a [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]] advertisement. | |||
