I have a few story arcs planned, each with different plot twists. Right now, the main characters are in the capital city of the Martian alliance on Mars. Politicians, along with their mercenaries and bodyguards, from all over the galaxy have gathered to listen in on a great Martian debate. While Mars considers whether or not to expel the outer colonies from their alliance, a distress signal is received. New Constantinople, the largest outer Martian colony, is under attack by the covenant. The politicians are completely divided by this, with nearly everyone refusing to send immediate aid. Earth, ignoring the orders from the Citedel Council, decide to send half of their fleet to help the colony evacuate. They accept anyone, willing and able to fight, to help them on this suicide mission.
