Okay, since I've gotten several questions about it via PM's and I totally didn't make it clear... well anywhere and I've been discussing things with multiple people so I'll just put the culmination of it all here for everyone and probably add it to the "info" post at the beginning of the thread.
The War
Grumblings and small fighting started 15ish years ago when Marked Falinian's started to go missing. Not all Falinian's are Marked, though roughly 57% of the population at the time was. Non-marked Falinians cannot bond with gen-zero ships. THE WAR started 10-12ish years ago when the Resistance was really formed and battles broke out on multiple planets in the verse to fight against Alliance control and genocide.
Andy joined the Resistance at 17 when it broke out, but didn't get into the fighting until 18 when she could officially enlist. She lost Adam at 19, and I figure she met Raleigh not to terribly long after that. She was there when he lost his arm I believe we decided?
The fighting lasted until 5 years ago when General Doom *cough* excuse me General Dominic killed/captured/destroyed (leaving this up to Iorveth) 10 passenger carriers full of Marked/and or their families. They had gathered on Leaimatia moon to strike out into the outer core and resettle, and it was kept very quiet, but Dominic found out and was waiting for them. After the newly introduced AI ships, and being vastly outnumbered, and the devastation and loss of so many, the Resistance General - Simon Frye a human- with the support of his command negotiated the terms of surrender and is assumed to have been executed or imprisoned. His wife and children were marked on the transport ships.
Some of the main terms of the surrender was that all Falinians become tagged and a genetic profile drawn. Any marked Falinian born now to non-marked Falinians (which is rare but happens) is taken into custody of the Alliance. Falinian's are still about the verse, but they are closely watched. Any Falinian found to not be tagged one year after the war can be imprisoned for failure to comply. Any and all non-Falinian Resistance fighters were processed through Allied disarmament camps at the end of the war and their Allied file reflects their time of disloyalty. If they showed to much aversion to being integrated back into Allied life, they were jailed.
The Alliance spun the yarn that the ships were attack vessels, but anyone involved with the resistance knows better. Among those left that fought for independence for the Falinian Marked Dominic is known as the "Red Ripper" and his ship is known as "The Bloody Mary", neither of which will be said if they don't know all in present company since it shows where their allegiances lie. If the Alliance catches any old reintegrated Resistance fighters doing anything questionable they jail or kill them.
Anyone can make up any battles and where they took place, ground or space. Make up a unit they fought in, a place that was bombed or retreated from, or what have you. Anyone can make up chain of command down from General Frye, etc. It was an interplanetary war, mostly fought on the edges of the core and just outside it, so there is a LOT of area that can be covered.
Thoughts/Ideas/Comments are always welcome and appreciated. ^_^ Hope this clears things up a bit.
*EDIT* On a completely other note- I think it would be super fun to have Raleigh freak out at Mac for Andy's sake, maybe just for the fact that she isn't stitched up yet and is now in an emotional state he hasn't seen anything similar to in since he lost his arm and almost died?
I figure Andy is going to go after Georgia, interrupting whatever Mac was saying/or not saying/or doing to clear up whatever. Andy, after some sleep most likely, isn't going to take as easily to the idea that she has brewing that he only kissed her to get access to Anne.
