The **Martian Civil War** was a civil war which broke out on the fourth planet in the Sol System between a corrupt federal Martian government and a republican Martian alliance of states, paramilitary, militia groups, and police forces, resulting in a five year war on the planet. Many Martians, who were human but considered Martians, supported the corrupt federal government due to their connections with the Eclipse Federation, under the leadership of Anakin J. Fall VIII.

## Prelude

Following the end of the Active Civil Wars a few decades back in 2259, Mars has been under the control of the Eclipse Federation since 2264 where Angel VIII allowed the planet to form a federal government as well as they agreed to a set of terms given by Angel in order to keep the planet in check.

However in the shadows of the government, the Martians leading became corrupt and started using their Federal Martian military as their own private army and began to intimidate locals around the planet in serving them with support. Jesse Anderson, after his parents were killed by the corrupt military, took notice of the officials plans, and the corruption within the federal government and attempted to inform the Federation but was chased from his hometown until federal Martian army forces gave up.

At this time, Jesse came across a police commissioner in a city nearby who claimed that he was approached by federal Martian army officials about supporting the Martian government without question, and absolute loyalty which he refused and only supported, costing him the life of his wife and children. Jesse asked him about revenge, and how that he could fill in a political role of an alliance of states in order to overthrow the government and form a new republic in its place.

A few weeks later, Jesse and the police commissioner have successfully gathered a group of leaders who were all leaders of several Martian states, including paramilitary, militia groups, and several police forces to move against the corrupt government. This alliance was called the Republican Martian alliance and was labeled as a terrorist organization by the Eclipse Federation upon discovery of their intentions to overthrow the federal government, and began to support the corrupt officials in silencing the alliance leaders and their forces. Unknowing that the federal government was secretly corrupt, the Federation started to deliver troops, vehicles, weapons, starships, and command platforms to the government for them to use against the alliance.

## History

### Civil War

After the Federation delivered a large amount of resources for the federal government on Mars, the alliance knew that once they would make their first strike they'd begin what would be called the Martian Civil War but with the support of several states and the public of said states, the alliance had motivation in moving against the federal military.

So from April, 2272 to December, 2276, the Republican Martian alliance made their first strike on a Federal Martian convoy and stole thousands of dollars of supplies, weapons, and equipment. The civil war was mainly a "cat and mouse" game as the Alliance was fighting against an extremely more powerful foe whom had support of a much larger galactic superpower with millions of soldiers and thousands of more warships.

After an attack in late 2272, the Eclipse Military was brought into the civil war after the alliance unintentionally killed the Galactic Councillor who represented the planet Mars in the Galactic Council of Alliances. After of which moral in alliance soldiers slowly started to drop as seeing themselves going against two powerful organizations, one that controls the planet and another that controls most of the galaxy.
