Hello and welcome to revolutions.

Episode 11.29, Liberty, Equality, Humanity.

So we have finally come to the end.

This is the final episode of our series on the Martian Revolution,

a series that has taken us from the colonization of Mars in 2114 through the Martian victory

over the last Omnacore Occupation Forces in 2252.

The Martians had first declared independence in 2247. Well, at least some Martians declared independence.

Then they re-declared independence in 2250, and now secured it once and for all here in 2252.

The Omnicor invasion was supposed to mark the beginning of Omnacor's permanent reacquisition of Mars.

Instead, they lasted just six months.

By the end of June 2252, all three Martian colonies were back under Martian control,

and they remained under Martian control to this very day. Mars was now for the Martians.

But while the surrender of the occupation forces answered one of the biggest questions

of the revolution, Mars would be independent of Earth, there was still one final act left to play out

among the Martians themselves. With the surrender of the Omnacore Occupation Forces, all three

Martian colonies plugged back into what remained of the

Planetary Communications Network and reestablished contact with each other. They had been cut off from

each other after the bombs went off six months ago, and only now learned what had happened in the other

city since then. The Tharsians knew a bit more than the Olympians and Elysians, since they had access

to working communications throughout the occupation, but even for them it was still mostly guesses and rumors about what had

gone on in the other two cities. The Olympians, meanwhile, had gotten plugged back into the

network at the end of the occupation, but could only scrape a few facts about the outside world.
