Mars attack on earth
Military actionAfter the fall of Earth the Mars Theocracy decided that the planet was too dangerous to continue existing. They launched the largest military campaign in the solar systems history in an attempt to smash a state sized meteor into the planet. Before they reached Luna's orbit Chemosh intercepted them decimating most of the fleet. During the battle Anguish woke for the first time and consumed the remnants of the army. After the battle a solar system wide treaty was signed disallowing any spacecraft from coming within a million miles of earth.
