Adiemus

**Mars NN Adiemus** is a spacecraft commissioned back in 2004 by the Lufthansa corporation, but entered into service only in 2009 with the help of a "cultural" foundation run by members of the pre-revolutionary **Mars Republican Army** wanted by the Swiss government. They are called the Phi Delta gang or the Fideltas by Swiss intelligence, the two greek letters representing Mars's two moons: the Phobos aka Fear, and the Deimos aka Dread.

They are all accused of negligence in their former deals with the Vatican bombers, but Mars refused to pursue them when a coalition of hardcore nationalists led by the former black swan officer Morgana Steinmetz came to power. The old MRA is still led by Julian Lensky, currently serving his 20-year prison sentence on Svalbard. The Mars government pressured the Soviet Union to allow him conjugal visits, performed by MID covert operative Oxana Kristeva. The new MRA is the surface warfare branch of Mars Defense Forces.

Discharged USR-SMC fleet commander Manuel Bronsky was illegally contracted by Lufthansa to hunt for space workers laid off because of their MRA sympathies, smuggling them on Mars National Navy frigates to the Belt for the development of massive mineral processing stations. They all dress in blatantly pre-revolutionary "black block" terrorist gear & the best of them are put on this hyperdrive-equipped mercenary spacecraft chasing pirates & smugglers & pimps in outer space.

Those were very bad guys after all: the pirates were stealing vast shipments of precious hi-tech machinery intended for dirt poor developing countries like Ethiopia or Bangladesh, the smugglers were evading taxes directed to vital development funds, and the pimps were kidnapping thousands of girls from Earth slums for abject slavery on big mining stations. Also boys to turn them into mutant slaves in the mine shafts, which is like really totally not cool!! MRA are the good outlaws fighting the bad outlaws.

After a few years of spectacular success, the vessel was ultimately hired by the 5th office under the Mars Intelligence Directorate of ExCom. They had to take Jade Lensky way out into deep space for a rendezvous with the legendary Ranisch fleet admiral Nadine Ranigan: she convinced everyone on board that she is in fact Jade's alien aunt & by the way there is also this little parallel universe she created, you known, now targeted for conquest by 7 major Ranathan war fleets approaching on full interstellar speed.

What do you know, huh? The fleets are led by a shady faction of admirals with former Thanna connections known as the Jezebel fleets: they were bloody rude & arrogant at first, cracking evil jokes about our perceived inferiority all the time, but then turned out to be the good guys nevertheless. Sorry, I mean good girls! The crew of Adiemus was initially less than 70 people, but they went out on the 2015 interstellar mission already with more than 3 thousand souls & then came back with more than 30 thousand. These people, including the narrator Daniel Marton himself, were all drafted by Mars Defense Forces as soon as we landed at the ground terminal of Olympus National Station.

Jade Lensky was captured by fellow MRA operatives right after the Vatican bombings, but ultimately they refused to charge her with anything since she was also dealing with the bombers out of pure indifference, not sympathizing with their cause. MID preffered to file her as a missing operative instead of giving in to Swiss demands, so they contracted her to assassinate anti-Mars businessmen & politicians on their leash... But then they changed their minds & captured her again to put her on the spacecraft under Manuel Bronsky.

Swiss authorities are constantly blaming all these active MRA members for the whole Vatican bombing, especially their unofficial mentor Julian Lensky who did ultimately get caught & sentenced in the Hague to 20 years on Svalbard International Prison. Martian lawyers & diplomats are campaigning for his release with more & more success recently!!
