It has been a century and a quarter since mankind's burgeoning population began to expand its population into outerspace. In that short time, many wars have been fought for things ranging from the foolish, to the independance of various groups.
Two years ago, the Free Earth Alliance, a conglomeration of a number of smaller factions all vying for independence, declared war against the governing body, the Earth Defense Alliance. This war has been long and bloody in these two years, fought both on Earth, and in space.
Recently, Colony 37, a colony that had stayed nuetral during this war and others, came under attack by the Free Earth Alliance. In the attack, it was revealed that the EDA operated a military base in secret on the colony. Before the colony broke apart, some of the inhabitants made it off onto The Condor, an EDA ship designed to operate deep behind enemy lines that had been built secret in the colony.
Unfortunately, in the attack, most of The Condor's crew was killed, leaving it to be operated by a few officers in command of a retinue of military academy students. Despite the large civilian prescense on the ship, and having only planned temporary draftees as mech pilots, The Condor was ordered to deploy to Mars.
