Battle of Mars (2163)

"Before August 26, the Fleet was prepared to attack the Koslovics on Mars; but there would have been hesitance, and questions asked, and some measure of caution. After August 26, there was no more hesitance - rather, an almost feverish eagerness to engage them."

- IF Admiral "There is a fury in the fleet unlike anything I have ever seen before; and what's more, I feel it too."

- UNDF Captain "In July, they were just another fleet - another navy, another force of a different political belief than us. In November, they were evil personified, evil made real; and we of the fleet know exactly how to treat evil."

- IF Vice Admiral

The Battle of Mars took place in December 2163, and was the turning point of the Interplanetary Conflict, as well as one of the largest engagements of the war.
