History
The Martian Congressional Republic (M.C.R.) was a government that formed on Mars after is colonisation by humanity. Its basis came during Earth's first forays into space led to the settling of nearby Mars in 320 BXT. The planet became the basis of the Mars Terraforming Project that was a century long initiative to make the planet a more habitable world. Between 200 - 130 BXT, Mars began to seek independence from the United Nations but Earth would refuse these requests leading to tensions developing with the growing colony. This only changed following the creation of the Epstein Drive by Solomon Epstein in 129 BXT. This saw Mars exchanging the Epstein Drive to the U.N. in 128 BXT in exchange for independence with the Martian Congressional Republic being formed as a result.
After the Free Navy struck at the Ring, they succeeded in eliminating the ships guarding it whilst their people at Medina Station secured the site. With the area under Inaros's control, a breakaway Martian fleet under the command of Admiral Duarte then departed the system and went through the ring gate to Laconia. This was to be the basis of a new colony that would be under a regime led by Duarte himself and those forces under his command.
