The performance of the first human space cruiser and the devastating results of the offensive orbital insertion, both never before seen, irrevocably changed human warfare forever. The battle fleet of the United Nations Space Authority engaged the Koslovic Second Fleet near Mars on December 6, 2163, successfully destroying a quarter of the Koslovic force, and compelling the survivors to withdraw in less than twenty minutes. The UNSA battle fleet subsequently took position over the Argyre Planitia, and launched the first-ever orbital strike on a terrestrial target; forces already present on the ground followed the strike with a conventional invasion of the Planitia. Lasting for five days, the ground engagement ultimately resulted in victory for the United Nations."@en . "30"^^ . "31"^^ . . . . . . . "22"^^ . "Admiral Matthias Ward"@en . . . "--12-06"^^ .
