The Battle of Mars (11 December 2007) was an engagement between Loyalist Coruscant and an Avatar-aligned fleet under command of Demetrius Zaarin. It successfully confounded the Avatars' attempt to consolidate their forces in preparation for a full-scale invasion of Earth.
Background
After recovering from cryostasis, CivGeneral joined the resistance against Mara Jade's takeover of the Republic of Coruscant.[1][dead image] As most of the fleet remained under Mara's control, the Loyalists resorted to assembling a task force of their own from second-hand capital ships. Intercepting transmissions between Mara and Thorvald's doppelgängers, CG learned the Avatars were pooling their assets for a decisive sweep of Earth to finish off the remaining Civilization Fanatics' Center user base.[2][dead image]
Arriving in orbit over Mars, CG, Wanda, mythmonster2 and the Loyalist fleet joined with an Interdictor and its screen. Using its gravity well generator to disrupt hyperspace travel, the fleet ambushed Admiral Zaarin's task force en route to Earth; the ensuing battle saw most of Zaarin's ships destroyed, while CG led a boarding party to apprehend him.
