The Martian Navy Expedition
On April 30, 2251, the Martian Navy embarked on an expedition to Earth, comprising a diverse fleet of former cargo ships repurposed for combat and several converted prison barges carrying Earthlings sentenced to deportation. The flagship, the Nemesis, commanded by Admiral Cartwright, symbolized the mission's retributive justice. This eight-week journey marked a crucial moment in the corporate war, where tensions not only heightened but led to profound consequences for both sides involved. This period allowed Martians to reassess their past, particularly the events surrounding Independence Days and the ramifications for those who sided with Earth.
