Johnson

"This Article Is A Work In Progress"

Johnson
Johnson, is a prominent new age community figure that emerged at the beginning of Halo 5's launch. Previously known for being "a man of his word" and someone who has taken great pride in his professionalism, Johnson is more or so known for his media in the community in modern times. Johnson has found himself on the fronts of many deciding conflicts of the clan community's endeavors on Halo 5. Previously bearing the mark of "172" Johnson marks the last leader General JB and ShadowSniper took in as an heir to their creations. Since early-mid 2021 Johnson has left the "172" moniker behind and thus has left the so called "172 Dynasty" that General JB had coined.

Currently, Johnson is currently retired from clans and is working on personal media projects.

Halo Reach
Though Johnson would not enter the larger community until years later, he and his friend spartanjp2001 would start small fledgling clans on Halo Reach that would come to only interact with each other, and a small faction of clans that found themselves on the outskirts of the community. Johnson would fight his first war against Spartanjp and his clan PAIN in the year 2011. The two would come to fight in a battle known as the "Battle of Blood Gulch" where Johnson's 3E forces would lose to PAIN. Though small skirmishes were fought in the year to come, the war would come to a close when the two friends forgave each other and decided to live in peace. Though the war ended this would not be the end of conflict for Johnson's small band of soldiers. Many a time custom game lobbies would turn into intense shoot-outs between 3E members and randoms from matchmaking, and small skirmishes would occur with smaller factions as well. Through years of leading 3E Johnson would eventually think about passing down leadership to someone else upon Halo 4's release, but the concept of "4E" would never come to fruition due to several issues, including the betrayal or firing of key 3E command staff in the months leading up to Halo 4's anticipated release. Months after Halo 4's release and subsequent failure to appeal to many Halo fans, Johnson moved back to Halo Reach. Though 3E would stay up throughout 2012 and into 2013 activity would die down significantly. 3E would silently die out as many of his command staff went inactive. Though he would come to play with the many friends he made for years to come, 3E was no more. Johnson's interest in maintaining a clan wouldn't come back for many years to come.

A New Beginning
Upon Halo 5's release, Johnson was approached by Spartanjp with an offer to once again start up a clan with many of their current friend group. With the release of the new "Spartan Companies" feature on Halo Waypoint, Johnson only saw this as a unique and fun opportunity to play with his friends on Halo more. This clan would come to be known as Lagann, and Johnson would begin producing YouTube videos and weekly PSAs for the clan. One fateful day playing Warzone with Spartanjp, Spartan was messaged by a man known as FSH Fatality giving him an offer to join a coalition of clans known as the "Fascist States of Halo", upon receiving this offer the prospect of joining a coalition to bring it down from the inside became a truly interesting premise. This would be the first time Johnson would learn of a larger more connected community. After having a meeting with Lagann's leadership, it was decided to go forward with the plan of taking this coalition down. Soon after this decision was made, leadership was handed down from JP to Johnson due to time constraints and lack of interest from JP. Through several meetings with FSH, it was revealed that a large scale war was

being fought, this war would come to be known as the Triad War. Even though the original goal was to kill FSH, Johnson couldn't help but inquire what these wars were and how they were fought, Johnson was soon introduced to the foreign concept of raids, and the concept of declaring war on other clans to fight for glory in combat.

A few weeks after the reveal of the war between FSH and Aegis, Johnson was contacted about a mission from FSH's leader, Fatality. He was told to pursue relations with the clan known as Cyprus Legion with the intent to assassinate their leader during the meeting. Johnson found this unique offer of gaining trust for Lagann's goal of dismantling the FSH quite intriguing, so he accepted the proposal. On January 6th of 2016, Lagaan and Cyprus would meet with Cyprus hosting, and after their leader afroninjas went AFK, Lagann's guards would strike out against Cyprus forces, and Johnson would assassinate afroninjas. After this act of hostility, a YouTube video was made to flaunt Lagaan's win over the clan. A cold war would soon brew between Cyprus Legion and Lagann, and soon after this cold war began, FSH would disband after UBH would betray them in a game, assassinating their leadership. Johnson and Lagann, though they had the intention to destroy their overseer, were now left defenseless.

After several accounts of trash-talking afroninjas and Johnson would face off to determine the better warrior. Cyprus' leader would come out on top with the winning score, settling the dispute between both organizations.

ODST A Tarkov and the ROC Conflict
Soon after FSH's disbandment, Johnson sought out allies to bolster his clan. Soon after his "Restructuring"

the video was published Johnson was contacted by an individual known as ODST A Tarkov. Tarkov offered to talk to Johnson about setting up an alliance. Upon meeting one another Johnson and Tarkov would become great friends, Tarkov even got Johnson into Vast Contaigon's Clan Community Kik, introducing Johnson to larger community politics. However, things began to deteriorate upon the reveal that Tarkov planned to destroy many smaller clans in an attempt to vie for power. Tarkov would state that he was following the example of his mentor General JB. This would be the first time Johnson would ever hear of the old community, and the wars JB had fought. Johnson would outright disagree with Tarkov's plan, stating he would not support his conquest. release of a YouTube video on Russian Orbital Command's YouTube channel in which they threatened Lagann. On February 16th, 2016 Johnson would make a response video to this in which he refuted the claims of him rallying clans against Tarkov in secret. Over the course of a week and a half tensions would rise and Russian Orbital Command would declare war on Lagann on February 22nd, 2016. Johnson would make a response video to the declaration assuring his supporters that "We will not fall". Clans would soon reach out to Johnson wishing to support him in his war effort against ROC, and soon the Alliance of Free Clans would assemble and be found under Phoenix Era, UUF and Lagaan. On the 27th of February, Lagann forces would find themselves preparing for an assault by the invading ROC forces. Johnson would come to rally the untrained Lagann Army troopers to defend Fort Freedom. Though Johnson had never been in a raid before he was prepared to win the battle ahead. With the help of the mercenary Syndicate Skull, Johnson and the Lagann troops held the base against wave after wave of the opposing ROC forces until a secret unknown Hydra Launcher was used to kill multiple defenders. Upon the discovery of the secretly placed weapon, it became apparent ROC had used a spy to place this weapon down to give them an advantage. ROC would lose this engagement due to their faulty practices, and the war would begin to look quite dire for them as clans kept coming into the AOFC, and backing Johnson.

Soon enough Lagaan grew in allies and ROC was outnumbered. Fearing a loss they got a past leader of a forgotten faction, the USSR, to discuss peace and a ceasefire. Although Johnson at first didn't want peace he was soon talked into it and agreed it was the best option moving forward. With ROC gone, Johnson decided it was time to expand.

Solace Republic
After the ROC Conflict, Johnson would address his followers on March 6th, 2016, stating the clan would be changing its name to Solace Republic and that the structure of their clan would become more militarized. This would spark a large growth in member base, and in popularity for the clan.

Pluto Command's War
Only a few days after on March 9th, Johnson would announce he was entering a war against Aegis Military Corporation to defend a clan who had requested help, a clan known as DeathWatch. Johnson would join the alliance known as 'Pluto Command' and would coincidentally come to support his old enemy, Cyprus Legion. The day war was announced Johnson would partake in a siege against a clan known as 'The Federation'. Johnson would support friendly Cyprus forces, taking the base and granting the alliance a win. Only three days after the siege, Johnson would be challenged to a defensive raid by Aegis, and he would come to gladly accept this challenge. Johnson would contact Cyprus Legion to fill four slots in the defensive roster and would decide to use the base known as 'Fort Excaliber', a newly gifted fort by the forger Oicu. Solace Republic's 2nd engagement was against Aegis Military Corporation and was a defensive raid. The raid started off well until Aegis Mil.Corp found an exploit, got the advantage, and took the base, but not without casualties. MAGNUMLORD, Johnson's second in command, performed a brave act killing 3 of the attacking members with a tank and held the base for 5 more minutes but ended up getting killed. Solace Republic and Cyprus fought hard for an hour but some of Cyprus's members left soon after that The U.U.F. got into the game helping the allied forces. The allied forces fought for 2 hours and 30 minutes until it resulted in a raid loss for friendly forces. Two days after the raid loss Invessa, the leader of DeathWatch, started arguing with the leader of the New Californian Republic, a member of the AOFC, and a clan ally to Solace Republic. Johnson ended up trying to dissolve the argument but Invessa said that Solace Republic did nothing for the war effort. This resulted in an argument in which the Alliance of Free Clans left Pluto Command and made peace with the New Conglomerate after realizing they held more honor than DeathWatch. Johnson would wish Cyprus the best of luck in the war and would wish no hard feelings between the two after what had transpired.

Gaining Relevance
Through the next few months, Solace Republic would continue to grow and grab the attention of many popular clans, one of those being Vast. Though Johnson would begin to reach out to other clans like Naval Command for practice raids, he would also get into smaller skirmishes to keep activity alive. In March Johnson would host the event known as "Wargames" in which he pitted several clans together in a bracketed tournament to determine which clan was truly the best. Though it wasn't a perfect event, many relevant clans such as Remnant and 99thregiment would partake in the tournament, being two of the best clans to fight it out on the sands of a Sandtrap remake. In April of 2016 Johnson would come to fight the Mandalorian house, House Lone, in a skirmish known as the "Solace Republic's Retaliation Against Terror" in which he hunted the terrorists of House Lone after a practice raid was abruptly invaded by them. This war would end soon after a retaliatory strike on Facility 5 by Solace Republic Army forces in which a brutal slaughter occurred. Johnson would approach Jatne Lone of House Lone about their misuse of ROE and the two would soon realize a prolonged war would be pointless, so the war would end after about a week of fighting. Not even three days after the ending of the war against House Lone, Johnson would attend a community meeting hosted by THL. During this meeting, a firefight would break out between friendly THL forces and New Conglomerate forces after several insults were thrown around by THL's leader, THL Creature. Johnson would side with the New Conglomerate in the battle on THL's meeting map, the several clan leaders would seize control of the map and defend it until the game promptly ended. This meeting would be recorded and posted to YouTube by UNHC and would gain thousands of views, attracting several new followers to Solace Republic and its YouTube channel.

​​Invasion on Gallion: The First 6 Hour Raid
Soon after the meeting, THL challenged Johnson and Solace Republic to a no-ROE raid. Though Johnson knew it would mean a 6-hour raid, he was excited to truly see how such a raid could work. On April 30th, 2016, THL invaded the snowy planet of Gallion and attacked Outpost Gallion. Solace Republic personnel, with NCR friendlies, led by Johnson held the outpost for 6 hours in a bloody raid. Johnson would seek to prove a point to THL that non-ROE raids were a stupid idea, so in an act of spite, he used several snipers and phaetons to keep the enemy at bay. The kill count was in the 500's for the enemy and the raid would result in a win for Johnson and his forces.

Invessa, DeathWatch, and the Interstellar War
Even though Solace Republic was continuing to garner the attention of big players in the community, it was far from perfect. Going into early April 2016, Solace Republic was struggling to recruit and keep activity afloat, this led Johnson to seek other means of gaining members. Invessa, the leader of a clan known as DeathWatch, would approach Johnson about a merge into his clan. Johnson only saw this as a huge benefit as he would gain members and activity, so he accepted. This merge would fuel many of Solace Republic's military operations in April and early May, though not all was as it had seemed.

Deception
Invessa had from the start planned to betray Johnson and cripple Solace Republic in an act of vengeance due to Johnson pulling out of Pluto Command and leaving DeathWatch to fight alone. Invessa during the merge had granted Johnson 50 active members, all active members that were loyal to DeathWatch leadership. Only about 20 original Solace Republic members remained post-merge, but they were not enough to fight a war. On May 10th 2016, Johnson had learned of Invessa's plan through an informant that supplied him screenshots of a chat where he admitted to plotting against Johnson. Johnson would come to confront Invessa and upon confrontation, Invessa used his admin privileges to kick almost everyone out of the Solace Republic Kik server

before Johnson got a chance to talk to any of them. After this devastating blow, DeathWatch would start-up and begin active military operations. Johnson hurt and licking his wounds would approach his allies about what had happened and would vow regardless of their support that he would not allow Invessa to walk away from this. Johnson would make a video addressing the situation and would promptly declare war upon DeathWatch, soon after the Alliance of Free Clans would back Solace Republic with military forces in the war to come.

Prelude To Invasion
Though Johnson had allies, Invessa was not without his. Soon after Johnson had rallied his allies for an all-out assault on DeathWatch territory, Invessa had managed to unite FOTUS and several smaller clans into the fray. Many clans in the community at this moment in time watched on as the two upcoming leaders prepared their campaigns against one another. After two days the first battle would begin.

The Battle of Destro
On May 18th of 2016, Solace Republic Commandos and the NCR's best Rangers would band under the leadership of Johnson to assault an unscouted DeathWatch base on the world of Destro, an inhospitable volcanic planet. Johnson and his forces would soon find that the base they were to assault was massively unfair, and was practically a glorified killbox with a tunneled chokepoint entrance, however, Johnson was determined to make the best of an odd stacked situation. Through several attacks on the base, it became abundantly clear that the base was virtually untakable, that coupled with over 15 ROE breaks Johnson had considered calling ROE. Though he did not want to win through a technicality, he had felt after 15 breaks in the agreed-to ROE, he had no choice. The disastrous battle at Destro would be the first victory of the war, despite its anti-climatic conclusion.

Raid on the NCR Army HQ
One May 21st DeathWatch would find themselves on the offensive, this time against a majority NCR lobby, with two supportive Solace Republic units, one of which was Johnson. Johnson and Caboose (the leader of the NCR) comprised a plan to use their spy unit against the attacking forces to cripple their morale. This would prove to be a devastating blow not only to DeathWatch, but also to Invessa's morale. Johnson and his forces would come to win this raid, and would also come to make Invessa highly paranoid about who he could trust.

Assault on Fort Hood
Eight days after the Battle of Destro, it was now time for Invessa's DeathWatch to take the fight to Johnson on his territory. Invessa, knowing that attacking them himself would be impractical, called in Traxus Industries to assist in the battle, something that would come to surprise and almost blindside Johnson the day before the battle. Johnson would once again lead a defending team of SR/NCR forces, though this time Solace Republic would have the majority of the friendly force in the raid due to increased recruitment efforts. On May 25th, 2016, Johnson mustered a good defense for the first portion of the raid until Traxus had found an exploit that allowed them to Angel Jump up the cliffside and enter the base, catching friendly forces off guard. This would create a base contestation for the majority of the raid spinning things into a hectic rush to get men into Fort Hood's walls. During the scramble into the base, Johnson would catch up to Invessa and end up assassinating him in front of the entrance to the base. Once friendly forces got into the base, Johnson ordered a Solace Republic Army Soldier to get into the base's door control guardhouse and lock himself inside and told the rest of the men to hold the upstairs choke-point. Through sheer luck, Johnson had managed to kill their Hannibal Mantis up top by making his way into the armory. By the end of the two-hour raid, Johnson had managed to keep enough forces in the base to qualify for a win, though many people saw his use of the locked guardhouse door as a scummy move to maintain a winning streak.

A Short-Lived Alliance
Halfway through the war, Johnson had been approached by GabeTheAbbadon with the offer of an alliance. Johnson saw this as a good opportunity to truly ally with a larger clan, so he accepted the offer. Though intentions seemed to be genuine, soon after the Assault on the DW Temple ( and the loss that would follow, Gabe and UAE would promptly cut their alliance with Johnson after Johnson defended the loss and blamed UAE forces for being inadequate.

Invasion at Fort Freedom
Invessa and his forces have been practically reduced to a shell of their former selves, many of their high command had been kicked and many members were also removed after the raid at the NCR Army HQ. On June 3rd Invessa had planned to once again go on the offensive, this time against the notorious 'Fort Freedom'. Though Johnson had planned to fight Invessa it came to a complete surprise to him to also see Cyprus Legion joining DeathWatch forces in the battle to come. The leader of Cyprus simply stated that this act was for "activity" but Johnson knew that Invessa was hurting, and that he was relying on old favors to get

him through the next set of battles. Though Cyprus would show up on time for the scheduled engagement DeathWatch would not. Invessa would come an hour and forty minutes late to the battle and Johnson would give them forty minutes to take the base due to this. After Invessa would argue with Johnson about the allotted time, Cyprus Legion would soon pull out and quit, leaving an unmanned DeathWatch assault team to attack the fort. Invessa would reluctantly accept the time and assault the base to no avail. DeathWatch would lose this engagement, and Johnson would go on to market this as the likely end of the DeathWatch and that the war would soon be over.

The End of The War
With the outbreak of community warfare due to Vast besieging the Commonwealth, Solace Republic and DeathWatch halted their war to both go assist the Commonwealth in their plea for help. Both would join the Military Memorial Alliance, and the war would quickly fizzle out and end after this action.

The Military Memorial Alliance
Ongoing during this time, the Commonwealth - Vast War was raging throughout the community. In a desperate plea for help, ShadowSniper172 made a YouTube video asking eager clans to join the Military Memorial Alliance, and assist in the war effort. Upon watching this video, Johnson had decided to pull his gaze towards a more important conflict, and so it was decided; Solace Republic would join the MMA to fight against Vast.

An Eventual Fight
Throughout the many months of operating and leading Solace Republic, Johnson would encounter Vast many times during scheduled practice raids. Johnson would come to start a small rivalry with Vast Contagion, the leader of Vast, during the practice raids due to SR forces mainly being overwhelmed by the superiorly skilled Vast troopers. Though Johnson was given an offer of support in his war against DeathWatch to stay away from the MMA by Contagion, Johnson would ultimately turn down his offer and would join the Commonwealth's coalition.

3rd Battle of Fort Freedom
On June 12th, 2016 Vast forces agreed to attack Solace Republic's infamous Fort Freedom. Johnson had planned to use the superior terrain advantage against Vast in this encounter, hoping that the tower-like base would be able to halt their offensive. Johnson would call in an old favor to the NCR Ranger McTavish, having him snipe for the duration of their defense. Morale was high coming into the battle, and defenses were quickly and effectively set up, however once Vast forces dropped in; it was abundantly clear that Johnson and his army were outmatched. Vast forces would quickly overwhelm the bottom defenders and make their way up the tower after 30 minutes of sustained defense by Solace Republic forces. After being overwhelmed Johnson would attempt to muster several attacks against Vast's defense, but to no avail. Johnson's forces would ultimately fail to take back the base, and in turn, would lose the battle.

Disasterous Outcome
After the battle at Fort Freedom, it became apparent that Solace Republic was simply outmatched by Vast's superior forces. Due to Vast's video coming out on the intentions of the Commonwealth, and the mounting political pressure on the MMA, Johnson would soon withdraw Solace Republic from the coalition.

After Solace Republic left the MMA, it would soon enter a state of inactivity upon the loss of multiple key command staff members, including the leader of the Commandos. Though Johnson would hand down the clan to the individual known as Kool Kiddo, Solace Republic would ultimately fall apart. Johnson would distance himself from the community, and would ultimately take a step back from clans for months to come.

The Age of Discord Begins
A new app known as Discord was gaining popularity in mid-2016, and it would soon draw the attention of Johnson. Upon receiving an invite, Johnson joined the THCC Discord server and would begin to socialize with many more clans, leaders, and members of the community than any Kik server could provide. Johnson would begin thinking about a return to clans with a new innovative idea.

United Nations Organization Is Formed
After heavy planning, Johnson would launch the United Nations Organization on October 1st, 2016. A unique idea that combined the idea of a coalition with the actual United Nations concept. After gaining the approval of General JB to use the United Nations name, and clarifying it wasn't trying to be anything like it, Johnson set off to recruit clans into the UNO. Johnson would find the organization growing in size rapidly due to the idea any clan could join and contribute to a single military, as the Secretary-General of the UNO, he found himself available to almost 100 members in simply 3 weeks of operations. Johnson would once again create a media channel for this organization and would begin producing several videos.

The Char-1
Johnson would soon start experimenting with vehicle welding technology. With the help of General JB172 he was able to create the Char-1 light tank. This momentous achievement was recorded and made into a video on November 9th, 2016, marking the first-ever welded vehicle video to be made by a clan. Though the Char-1 never saw use in the UNO, its design would inspire future generations of combat vehicles.

Debaucle With 99thregiment
On November 11th, 2016 the UNO would declare war upon 99thregiment to attempt and help a clan who had requested support. However not even a day later on the 12th Johnson would rescind this declaration of war after a threat from Exodus that if they did not, that Exodus would declare war upon the UNO for a reckless warpath. Johnson would address the community in a video in which he would apologize to 99thregiment for his transgressions.

Due to the war falling through and internal drama, the main multi-military force, the Peacekeepers, of the UNO would leave after their leader argued with Johnson and several members of the UNO about how the idea was confusing and non-efficient. This would heavily hamper Johnson's plans of having the UNO be a prominent key player in the community as he lost around 60 members.

Going In A New Direction
Johnson would soon see after the Peacekeeper Incident that he would need to restructure the UNO. The UNO's military would soon be turned UNSC in an attempt to appeal to several UNSC community members to garner members. Several Spartans would come to join the UNO's UNSC branch and would begin creating the framework for their respective branches.

An Intentional Skirmish
After a week of building up his new forces, Johnson would soon decide it was time to test their ability to fight in a raid, however, he did not want it to just be any raid, he wanted to see how they acted under pressure. On November 21st, 2016 two insurrectionist clans would contact and threaten Johnson during a training session on the UNO installation 'MTF Gamma'. Johnson would entertain their threat and would invite them to the game unannounced to the training UNO forces. A surprise raid commenced and only began to get more complicated after the gaming group known as 'SAS' joined the game and began to assist hostile forces. Though it would be an intense raid, Johnson and his Spartan/Marine garrison managed to beat back the insurrectionists and SAS, forcing them to leave the game. Johnson's risky choice proved to be a success, and morale was high for what was about to come.

War Against the Red Front
Soon after the skirmish at MTF Gamma, Johnson, and the UNO Council decided to support one of their member clans, the 501st, in a war against a clan known as the 'Red Front'. During this time RF touted as a fake recreation of the United Nations before making a name change to 'Red Front' due to mounting political pressure. Soon after this name change, Johnson would send a declaration of war to their leader, sparking the coalition known as the New Conglomerate to get involved.

A Hasty Attack
Johnson knew that battles with the New Conglomerate would not be an easy task; as he had fought them once before in the Interstellar War on DeathWatch. Upon reviewing his options, Johnson had opted to surprise raid the enemy force after the conclusion of their ROE meeting that was scheduled to take place on November 27th, 2016. Once this date arrived, UNO forces met with the New Conglomerate to discuss ROE, and soon after the ROE was finished, 'Operation Blindside' commenced. All New Conglomerate and Red Front forces were killed and trapped in spawn until they left the game. Though a controversial move that would spark community backlash, Johnson would claim a win for the UNO.

An Anti-Climatic Conclusion
Though only a few days later, on December 6th, 2016, UNO forces would combat Red Front forces under the leadership of Johnson, that battle and the one that followed later in the day would truly be the only one fought during the duration of the war. The Assault on Fort Hood would come to be the only event in the war, and Johnson's UNO forces managed to gain a tie on the base against the attacking forces, however, the 501st would come to lose the base later in the day to NC forces. Soon after these battles, a peace treaty would be signed on December 10th, marking the end of a very short and anti-climatic war.

The 7 Raid Offensive
Before a peace treaty was signed the insurrectionist cell that fought at MTF Gamma invited Johnson to join their game as an apology on December 9th. Johnson would accept the offer of peace and joined their game only to find their intentions were anything but peaceful. After insurrectionist forces initiated a surprise raid by attacking Johnson, UNO forces flooded the lobby and took the base. Under Johnson's command, UNO forces pursued their enemy into 6 separate lobbies, each one was ending and each one was a win.

Walking Away From the UNO
During this time Johnson would keep in contact with General JB, learning of a plan to create a clan with ShadowSniper to return to the community. Johnson, being very interested in JB returning, would keep tabs on the upcoming clan until it would reveal itself to be the Colonial Federation. 13 days after the Colonial Federation's official reveal, Johnson left the UNO in search of a more unique experience in the community. Johnson came to appoint Caboose S123, and HaloKnight as the new leaders of the UNO ensuring his creation would at least live on shortly as he left.

Leaping Into A Bigger World
After leaving the UNO, Johnson joined the Colonial Federation after consulting General JB about what the Colonial Federation was about. After heavy consideration, he found the new RP heavy ideas the CF to be a new and refreshing take on clans. After joining, he was brought before ShadowSniper172 to talk about his choice of which colony to join. Seeing major potential in the young leader, Shadow recommended he join the new colony of Schon to help out their leader in recruitment and build-up. Johnson accepted the proposal and joined Schon, becoming the colony's Captain on the 6th of January, 2017.

Building Up Schon
During the next month, Johnson would help Schon's Governor, DEF Shadow123, build up the colony's standing military force and would set up several defensive installations for Schon's military. During this time Johnson would find himself getting heavily involved in CF politics, and would routinely find himself in senate meetings discussing important topics such as whether or not to ban the ONI Wasp from usage in raids. During his time as Schon's 03, Johnson led several engagements against many clans proving Schon to be a fairly capable colony during his run. Upon the hearing of an offer by the rising movement known as 'The Foundation' for the CF to join them, Johnson went straight to the Chancellor Shadow and heavily recommended against the idea of aligning with either the 'Foundation' or 'Establishment'. After a passionate speech recommending to stay neutral and to "Not join fascists" ShadowSniper was convinced to not take the side of the Foundation. After a senate meeting, the CF decided to stay neutral. After ShadowSniper's talk with Johnson, he was impressed with Johnson's resolve and commitment, so he would approach Johnson with an offer he could not refuse.

Joining The Colonial Government
Upon receiving ShadowSniper's offer to join the CF Government and become his secretary to assist him in Chancellorship duties, Johnson immediately accepted this offer without a second of a doubt. Johnson would assist Shadow in many colonial duties including senate meetings, and tracking colony progress through recruitment and training reports. ShadowSniper came to be a mentor to Johnson and would regularly take him onto the CF Capital to give him advice. Sooner than later Johnson became a prevalent and central figure in the CF government; though this would come with some controversies.

Pursuing Vengeance...In The Name of Love
About a month into his new role, Johnson would encounter a clan led by Bolted Thunder due to his friendship with an individual known as Musical Jammer. Jammer, and Thunder were E-Dating at this time, and like all community e-dating relationships... it led to fire and calamity. After Jammer and Thunder broke up, Johnson would be informed of the "emotional torment" that this supposed leader put Jammer through. Heavily convinced by Jammer in a party, with tears included, Johnson and his several other friends invited Thunder to a party in which they threatened and berated Thunder for about 10 minutes before kicking him entirely. Enraged that his friend was hurt by another leader, Johnson soon brought these transgressions to ShadowSniper demanding that the CF declare war on the clan known as United Guardians Defense. ShadowSniper, uneasy and hesitant of this was at least convinced to sent a small taskforce to "combat" this clan. This task force, was led by Ravenholdt and Vash of Reach.

Finding the entire situation entirely hilarious and not worth their time, Vash would consistently berate Johnson's decision within the small Discord chat that included other task force members. Soon enough the task force would end up not supporting Johnson, which led to him relying on outside sources to combat UGD. UGD was soon lured into a surprise raid by HaloKnight, the leader of the Bloodknights. This surprise raid saw a few CF members, 501st and BK members fight it out with UGD. UGD would eventually leave the game granting this very impromptu task force a victory. After pursuing UGD for ROE discussions UGD denied it, and ending up ending the war due to... well not fighting it. Enraged by the "cowardice" of this foe, Johnson would go on to resume his regular day to day operations within the CF.

Prelude To All Out War
During his time as secretary, Johnson would bear witness to many rumblings throughout the CF senate about a new threat on the horizon in the form of the National Reikist Imperium. For many weeks the CF senate would watch closely as documents detailing war plans were leaked, and after a practice raid between the colony of Armis and the NRI, in which the NRI falsely claimed territory, ShadowSniper met with the CF senate to make a decision on what to do moving forward. In a unanimous vote, the CF senate had decided to go to war.

The Fall of the Colonial Federation
With the assistance of General JB, a video was released on the FederationMedia YouTube channel declaring all out war against the NRI. The video quickly gained hundreds of views and anticipation grew as the new community super power prepared to face off against the small fascist state. ShadowSniper, without the consent of the senate, went to negotiate ROE with the NRI. Upon finding out that Shadow did not heed the senate's wishes of a combined ROE meeting, Shadow was ridiculed by many within the senate chat for being fool hardy. Shadow ignored these comments and would charge forward scheduling an offensive raid against the NRI's FOB on Armis VII. Commanding a personal contingent of his Federation Guards, Shadow attacked the NRI for 2 hours which resulted in the slaughter of Armis VII, and a critical loss for the CF.

Watching the resulting chaos in the senate chat as the live Twitch feed showed troves of Federation Guards slaughtered, Johnson began to doubt the Chancellor and his effectiveness in leadership. Sooner than later the CF Government chat would be leaked to the community, revealing many key government members trash talking the likes of Exodus, UGN, and NavCom.
