Despite facing a numerically superior foe of 1.3 billion against a mere combined force of 6 million soldiers. The Eastern Empire demonstrated its might by crushing all offensive attempts made by the Imperios with mountains of artillery and naval shelling. Fearing their own imminent defeat, the Cristos would resort to a dastardly weapon. 11 Railguns loaded with tungsten rods. However before these weapons could be utilized, IKS intelligence provided intel on their positions and the ICBMs (non-nuclear) from Ûntershiva would fire, destroying them before they had a chance to shoot. Although the Imperios would manage to fire one of these rods, which would be stopped by the spirit of Viktoria some would say as the rod completely missed. The true target those rods were aimed at are still entirely unknown. Following just a week of fighting, Eastern Empire forces would bleed the Imperios dry before glassing their country from orbit with its satellite lasers. Subsequently annexing it and removing anyone who shows anything more than loyal submission.

On February 20th, the Union of Federal Republics (UFR) would manage to land on Mars and established a small colonial settlement named Novozveda. Almost a day after this historical event, the Eastern Empire would launch its own colonial settlement over to Mars in a hurry to not be behind. It is unknown how relations with be on the Martian surface but this is a great step for all mankind.
