Ironfall

Mars: Nov 1, 1941 Mars has remained mostly silent since the failed invasion of Earth in 1924, but that silence is deceptive. Martian leaders have been regrouping, rebuilding their forces, and refining their technology. Advanced Martian war machines, armed with hybrid tech, are readying for another assault on Earth. On February 1, 1942, Mars will launch its second invasion, timed to coincide with Earth’s ongoing global conflict, aiming to exploit the weakened nations and fractured alliances. Martian society is highly militarized, with a rigid hierarchy focused on conquest. The planet’s resources are dwindling, and Earth is seen as the last chance for Martian survival. Tensions within Martian leadership could create opportunities for Earth-based factions to gain intelligence before the attack. Key Story Hooks: Martian tech development, internal Martian power struggles, February 1, 1942 invasion, espionage opportunities, Earth’s weakened defenses.
