The latest round of violence erupted when Martian soldiers stationed at the Martian embassy on Earth opened fire on a group of Earth residents who were protesting outside the consulate. Although war has not been declared, both planets are ready to react if the other launches an offensive. There are rumors that Mars has been stockpiling illegal weapons to defend itself from Earth’s much better-equipped military. Diplomats from both planets are doing everything possible to bring stability to the situation, but there are concerns that radical extremist groups on Earth may be planning an unprovoked attack for the express purpose of causing a war to break out. Everyone remembers the horrors of the last interplanetary war, in which the decisive battle resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties and a large number of refugees who fled to the colony on the Moon. Even after a ceasefire was negotiated, isolated incidents of violence against Martian citizens brought the two planets to the brink of war several times. The president of Earth has authorized the recruitment and training of additional peacekeeping forces; however, a lasting peace continues to be a complicated issue for our Solar System.
