Red Fist

Red Fist was a group of Martian freedom fighters who's goal was to gain the independence of Mars from the United Nations that controlled Earth, Mars, and the rest of the human colonies in the solar system. They were established in 2094 by Song Thomas and her husband Chris Thomas, both of whom were born and raised on Mars. The UN designated Red Fist a terrorist organization in 2099 after they bombed the UNSS Vigilance which was docked in the Tharsis City Spaceport. Twenty-eight UN Navy personnel and eleven civilians were killed. In 2123 Yang Thomas led Red Fist into hijacking the Weyland, a colony transport ship. He demanded that the UN recognize Mars as independent and he would release the ship and all one-hundred and sixty-two hostages. The UN refused to do so and were fully prepared to destroy the Weyland. Then the Somakians invaded the solar system and began the Survival War against humanity. Red Fist, led by Yang, fought the alien threat on the surface of Mars. Coupled with the revolutionary new orbital defence station invented by scientists at the Tharsis City University, the Somakians were held off for the remainder of the war. Red Fist was disbanded after the war, Yang seeing the greater good that Mars and Earth forming the Alliance would bring.
