The Day of Batteries: A Catalyst for Change

The Day of Batteries, marked by the chaotic event on May 17, 2246, became a pivotal moment in Martian history. Following this protest, the Mars Division Authority initiated a crackdown, arresting numerous participants and trying to suppress information about the incident.
