Shortly after taking command of the unit, and as time passed from the [[3060]]s Christmas eve when the New Colony President [[Sherman Maltin]] led a contingent of Colonial Marshals and took hostage the visiting [[Magestrix]] [[Emma Centrella]] and [[Protector of the Realm|Protector]] [[Jeffrey Calderon]], demanding independence of the New Colony region as the ransom for their release, new mutterings of independence resurfaced in the region. Despite the angry mutterings from their allies in the Concordat, the Magestrix gave tacit support the current Colonial Marshals, and specifically to the Marshals leader, Force Marshal McEvans, as they call for independence for the [[New Colony Region]]. Force Marshal Dirk McEvans was the leader of the faction of Colonial Marshals that did not support the actions of then President Maltin, and though McEvans does want independence from both parent realms, he and the Marshals he leads follow a more peaceful means to this end rather than rebelling against their sponsor realms.<ref name=FMP45/>

In September [[3083]], eighty-three people were killed on [[Cygnus (system)|Cygnus]] by [[Deputy Marshal]] [[Lon Donner]] of the Colonial Marshals. Donner executed three locals who had been found guilty of murdering a family of refugees from the [[Capellan Confederation]] only to find himself confronted with a rioting mob as a result. Donner fired into the mob to clear a route to his [['Mech]] and then used his [['Mech]]'s weapons to disperse the riot. As a result, eighty-three people died. While a review judged that Donner had acted without malice, then [[Force Commander]] Dirk McEvans removed Donner from active duty, chastised him and reassigned Donner to teaching duty at the [[Marshalry Academy]].<ref name="FM:3085p147">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 147: "Fronc Reaches"</ref>
