((But Ghazkuuulllllll, I hate talking about my opinions on the Internet when I don't even get a vote.))

I opine that this so-called 'republican' senate is a farce. The people have no say. The major economic powers have no say. The only ones who have a say are those The Mandate decides to give power to. The new martian colonists starve .. and get a representative appointed to them, from this council, bathing in luxuries on Earth. Over a quarter of humanity struggles with the basics on a new home, and this senate votes on whether or not to support them with scarcely a tenth of the liquid wealth available to it. Perhaps Senator Granger is the best man for the job, perhaps not. Either way, the people of Mars have no say on him.

This is not right. Decide what defines a major player. Allow any representative of a major player a vote. Humanity deserves nothing less. Our future colonies, dozens or even hundreds of light-years away, demand proper representation.

I agree with this Fellow gentleman. Too manz martians starve due to the need of the Earthlings to swim in luxuries

The Current Session of the Senate has been interrupted

"...This is CNN-News directly in front of the Senate-Building on Luna which has today been stormed by Terran Troops and the Senate has been dissolved. Most of the Senators have been held hostage sind. Senator Ackerman, declared himself Solon of the Terran Republic and thus sole Ruler of Mankind. At least for the time being. Officials just like Civilians are not sure how to respond to the sudden Coup...

Azthor · « **Reply #110 on:** February 01, 2014, 04:56:35 pm »

"This is former Terran Senator, Gabbo F. Ackerman, in an announcement to all citizens of the Terran Republic, terran or otherwise. As new Solon of the Terran Republic, a title whose significance will come easily for many of you, given the current state of affairs, I'd like to express the government's collective regret at the failed experiment that was this Terran Senate, and assure the people of those former governments which were dissolved in its creation, as well as the martian colonists, of which, though the Senate may fall, the State will not allow mankind to once more fall into disparate nations, warring over a single planet's resources".

"That said, all motions forwarded since the Senate's foundation, brief as the interlude was, are hereby and immediately rendered void. Let none of the mistake which took place here permeate our future; Mars will continue to receive terran colonists, as will other prospective inhabitable wolds whose existence was, until the recent turn of events, hidden from the public at large, one of which present in the nearby Thorin Gamma system".

"A committee of specialists chosen and led by me will gather tomorrow in the former Senate to decide on the fate of Republic's Constitution, there, we hope to be able to enact reforms that will swiftly deal with Earth's overpopulation and the recent cases of unrest in Mars; though certain traditional values of the recent Constitution are likely to be preserved, the same cannot be said for its many bureaucratic mistakes".

"For now, know that former Senator, Mr. Arthur Granger, shall retain his governorship over Mars. As new Solon, I shall remain the ultimate authority in all matters legislative or executive of the Republic, until it is deemed ready to sponsor a Senate again. Hopefully, the next attempt will avert this one's fate".

Turn 3: Martian Uprisings, The Desolation of Thorin

...All of our Research indicates that Live on the Surface of Thorin is dangerous in the highest degree we suggest abandoning any efforts at large scale colonization...

-Last Report from Colonization Prospectors Team Epsilon, later found remains of the camp indicate that the team was killed by one of the many Meteorite Rains of Thorin I

Thorin I, a word that at first carried hope but now has the ring of a Penal World to it. The surface consists mostly of rolling plains and nothing else. Life is sparse apart from small animals and plants
and that has a good reason. It's proximity to an asteroid field, makes Thorin the constant target of Meteorite rains which wash over the planet. Most Lifeforms thus life underground. However the Caverns sustain only so many people...

Meanwhile on Mars the Situation continually degraded Food riots started to get out of control, especially with the continuing waves of migrants. While the Relief Efforts helped at first, the Immigration of anohter 800 Million caused the complete collapse of the Martian Agriculture. Unable to sustain the masses prices for bread and basic food stuffs rose astronomically. The result the enraged Firstcomers started progroms against Terran Immigrants. Rumours of Cannibalism abound and several Cities plead for help as their local Police Forces can no longer control the situation.

Earth suprisingly has successfully brought its overpopulation under control and now with Colonists eager to leave to Thorin I and Mars (despite both their dangers) the craddle of humanity takes a collective breath of relief at the released pressure.

This increase of Living Conditions on Earth has caused widespread acceptance of the Autarchy of the Solon on Earth, while on Mars he is vivilified...

Pressing Issues:
Colonization of The Thorin Gamma System
Earth's Overpopulation.
Vote on the Admiral of the Senate Navy
Vote on the Minister of Science
Budget of the Senate Navy
Budget of the Ministry of Science
Stipends for Representatives
Stipends for Mandatless Senators
Martian Riots

"That's not how you hold someone hostage, idiots. This is how you hold someone hostage."

John breaks out of the hold, grabbing a nearby officer. He jumps on an emigration ship to Mars, having a quick conversation with a certain someone, before getting on the nearest ship to Thorin.

(This will work. THIS WILL WORK. Can I get an answer on whether I escape?)

Mars, the dusty red world that for centuries stood empty of life now bore full brunt of it, with the rusty-coloured soil drinking red blood.

Across the din and chaos on the streets and in the few secured zones, projectors and screens show only one thing - the face of the Martian Governor, Arthur Granger. His face is tired and only quickly touched up with make-up that barely covers the signs of stress and exhaustion.

"My fellow citizens, the brave new world of Mars, while open, is not as capable or yet developed to bear the full weight of human activity as previously expected. The subsequent problems and unrest must cease and be resolved before we are allowed to grow. As such, from this day on entire planet is under martial law, with curfew and rationing of all resources from food to fuel and energy. We must remember that we are first and foremost proud citizens and humans of the blue planet and we must strive to bring the best of Earth to this place and to to others across space.

In the subsequent days, precise curfew schedules, ration allowances and travel zones will be announced."

Mars budget:
3.000 for social infrastructure/farming
400 for 4 units of lvl 1 troops

Mars is now under full martial law until the end of riots and goods shortage - curfew and travel restrictions, rationing and suppression of riots, summary execution of cannibals and looters, and full protection for Terran migrants. 4 troops deployed to the job.
For the duration of martial law, all new immigrants will be charged on arrival.

Estimate costs for creation of maximum security penal colony on Martian moon of Deimos (hoping for population suppression effect with this)

[5] Before the Officer can react you have him as hostage and got a gun. [5] The other men guarding you don't seem to be really trained for hostage situations and you can easily use the Officer to escape out of the Senate Building.
However finding a shuttle towards mars is far harder on Luna. After all the moon is used as a vacation home for the rich and as the seat of the Mandate...not many people want to migrate to the chaos on mars from here. [1] Even worse in your frantic search for a shuttle you find that the only ship capable off getting you offworld is a military transporter.
[1] Even worse, storming the shuttle you find yourself staring at a bunch of heavily armed senate guards ready to disembark...

Send orders to the First and Second Fleet that when they reach their first system they are to break apart into Fleets 3 and 4 with 5 ships in each fleet so as to faster discover and prepare for the expansion needs of the Terran Federation.
