[ WP ] It 's been 300 years since Mars was colonized . Now , there is a revolution and the colonies are fighting for their independance . The first space battle in human history is about to begin .

The Procession of Zurocorp soldiers eyed the crowd suspiciously. In theory they were all here to pay respects for the Governor-General of Mars, but the situation was far more complicated. 
 
 
 The Old Governor-General had been far more pro Martian than his superiors had desired. But now that he was dead they would likely install a new, more conservative, leader who would keep the situation under control. 
 
 
 Aries, Enjorlas where there to disagree. The Procession of Soldiers came to the spaceport where his coffin would be loaded onto a cruiser and taken back to earth. 
 
 
 Eventually there was a crack of a laser, the officer at the head of the procession fell, and then all hell broke loose. All over the station mobs of Martians swarmed the men guarding and protecting it. It had been a well coordinated attack, and within minutes most of the soldiers had either fled or died. 
 
 
 Enjorlas Picked up one of the Personal Plasma assault weapons with one hand, brandished a banner with a red globe on a black banner, and began giving orders `` Aries, Get the Anti-space and Anti-tank Guns ready and situated, Epo, Break into the armory Everyone is going to need one of these'' He said as he gestured towards the gun. `` And Gavin get on the comm and see if you can get in touch with the other colonies. The rest of you, get weapons and a station. We all need to be ready for a fight.'' 
 
 
 All the revolutionaries started to move and get themselves ready. The Shield was turned on just in time for a fighter craft with the Zurocorp logo to appear in the sky. Aries was on the heavy plasma caster to shoot it down immediately, Thinking these guns were n't used to being fired at their own ships. 
 
 
 Epo Eventually got through the door and soon everyone was armed to fight. Gavin Managed to unlock the comm system and Enjorlas was right there to speak to as many as he could. `` Martians, our time has come. I know all of you out there yearn to breathe free of our earth Masters. Take up arms as this colony has! Today is the day we have longed for!''
