Firefly Prime: Story Details

Before Episode One

Timeline: The year is 2525. Seven years have passed since Malcolm Reynolds and the crew of the Serenity exposed Alliance culpability in creating reavers in the course of trying to make a more docile and manageable populous.

And though events saw to the annihilation of much of the reaver population in the verse, it also levied a not inconsiderable blow against the almighty Alliance Navy,

Now, amidst overwhelming disapproval for the Alliance throughout the verse, rumors of uprising abound and talk of secession is whispered in many a disreputable dive bar and watering hole across the black.

[Unification War: 2506-2511]

Trigger Event: It started on Greenleaf. Across the planet in a single synchronized hour the populous rose up against Alliance authorities and quietly removed them from power.

Opening Scene: Throughout the border worlds and across the rim, the name Greenleaf has become a rallying cry - though no one has duplicated the feat that occurred there - but rallying cries don't pay the bills and rumors of a second war don't keep a ship in the black. So, the crew is off to Jiangyin on a rescue and retrieval job at a collapsed mine with miners trapped and running out of time.

Jianyin lies in close proximity to Greenleaf and boasts a particularly strong Alliance presence. Needless to say, the political situation there is tense.
