Sol Campaign

Regarded as one of the largest wars the galactic scene has seen since the Great Wars. The Sol War was the first major interstellar war fought between the colonial government of Mars, secretly backed by the Socialist Progressive Peoples, against United Nations and Three Suns Empire. The aim was to overthrow their administrative grasp on the massive colony. The total casualties still remain unaccounted for to this day, but body estimates fall into the high millions and also thousands of naval vessels were lost, while trying to take control of space above and secure vital naval ports.

Most casualties are accredited to failure in adapting more modern military doctrine when dealing with multi-planetary conflict. The first wave of reinforcements that was sent to put down the Mars Rebellion, resulted in the loss of over 300,000 soldiers in the first week due to poor coordination. This was due to the failure to disable planetary anti-warship batteries, and fighting against an enemy on their homeland and home space. As a result, Mars forces were able to mobilize defenses across the colonies, turning what was anticipated to be a quick war into a long grueling conflict stretching over four long years.

The War eventually came to a close with the capital of both UN and TSE colonies' captured and colonial government leaders subdued. However, the scars would remain, even to the modern day. Leading to major humanitarian issues, children of dead families caught in the conflict, and a still recovering economy. Mars was permitted to create its own self-defense force, in order to present them a sign of friendship, however it remains severely underfunded with a limit of how many naval vessels and soldiers it may keep in its rosters.
