The war came faster than expected.
Although the Freedom Front fleet had been careful and concealed when they set off, the sheer size of the force made it difficult to stay hidden for long, and soon enough, traces of them were detected by radium's ubiquitous quantum network.
Radium did not allow the human forces to bring the battle near Earth and immediately called for reinforcements.
Halfway to Mars, the human fleet was intercepted by radium's forces!
Radium's colossal fleet and war fortresses located throughout the Solar System suddenly revealed themselves, converging from all directions to target the four major battleship groups located at Mars, Mercury, Venus, and the satellite fleets of Earth and Mars!
The war erupted with a bang.
The dark starry sky was suddenly illuminated by countless barrages of gunfire.
Missiles poured down like torrential rain.
Energy weapon beams intertwined in the void, with the view from Earth resembling four additional small stars in the sky.
