The twelfth season of the American action comedy science fiction animated/machinima web series Red vs. Blue premiered on April 28, 2014, and concluded on September 29, 2014. The series is created and produced by Rooster Teeth Productions and is loosely based in the Halo universe. It is the second season of the Chorus Trilogy.

Chorus, a former UNSC colony, is in the midst of a civil war between the Federal Army of Chorus and the rebel group called the New Republic. The remaining Reds (Grif and Simmons) and Blues (Caboose and Tucker) join the New Republic, and with their help they attempt to rescue Sarge, Donut, Wash and Lopez who were captured by the Feds at the end of the previous season. But the Reds and Blues will soon learn that there are secrets about the Chorus Civil War that will put the fate of Chorus in their hands.

In a journal entry from Kimball, she recalls the past few weeks, noting their lack of progress. She also comments on the Reds (Grif and Simmons) and Blues (Caboose and Tucker) about their leadership. Kimball expresses doubt that if they can't save Sarge, Donut, Wash, and Lopez, she wonders how the New Republic can save Chorus. Tucker, overhearing her, simply says "Meh, we'll wing it."

Tucker and Kimball privately talk about the civil war and why Felix is in it. Kimball reveals that Felix had been fighting in the war before she became an officer and that she's the fourth leader of the New Republic, as her predecessors were all killed. Tucker asks Kimball what makes her think Felix, being a mercenary, won't just end up leaving with his money. Kimball tells Tucker that Felix is in the war not only for money and what keeps him motivated to win the war is the thing why the New Republic aren't close to victory and what captured the other Reds and Blues, Locus. Kimball tells Tucker that Felix and Locus were once partners in the UNSC during the Great War and saw some of the worst fighting in the war. They never got along and were always competitive, but they were willing to work together to survive. After the war, they both couldn't stand the civilian life, so they became mercenaries and were hired by the New Republic and FAC respectively to fight for them in the civil war. Kimball says that the civil war may finally show who is the better soldier between Felix and Locus. Kimball reminds Tucker that everyone has their own reasons of being in the civil war. She also reminds him that the five-day limit of saving the captured Reds and Blues is almost up and that he and the others need to make the most of it.
