United Luna

"This is the United Luna! Identify yourself immediately or you will be destroyed!"

- United Luna captain to the Bella upon meeting

The Union Navy's Union defense platform United Luna was the commanding space station above the planet of Mars in the outer solar system located south of the Outer Rim Territories. The station held command over the other stations orbiting the red planet.

Construction
After the end of the Second Earth Rebellion, the reformed forces of the Union of Earth States and Confederate States of Earth had begun to practice peace and cooperation with each other. Recovering from the Great Earth Famine a year earlier, Jane Zarkan II and leader of the Union had decided that the Solar System would be better off without the New Republic's support and agreed to leave, however since the Nakamura Empire was rising and growing throughout the outside galaxy, they secretly had defense fleets guarding the borders of the Solar System.

During this time, the Union and Confederacy had begun to support the Mars colonies in that building defense platforms to orbit the planet as well as having military defense facilities on the surface, and so with this initiation United Luna was constructed along with several other Union defense platforms, serving as a staging area for the fleets of the Union Navy and Confederate States of Earth Navy. While on the planet's surface, Fortress One served as the main command operations for the ground forces of the Confederate States of Earth Army and Union Army. Similarly enough, both of the two organizations supported planets within the Solar System exactly the same as they did with Mars.

First Contact with the New Imperials
Despite the New Republic's secret defense fleets guarding the Solar System, naval forces of the Nakamura Empire still managed to get evidence of the system and with it, they had found the planet Mars where a consular ship was sent to make first contact with the planet's inhabitants. Upon encountering the ship, United Luna warned their new visitors they were in Union-Confederate alliance territory and if they didn't change course they would be destroyed. The captain of the Bella then responded to them that they were following the coordinates found on a ship drifting away in space and that they were led to their location.

Explaining themselves to the Union naval forces, Union starfighters were dispatched to escort the corvette to the hanger bay and begin to discuss more.
