The UNCN and the martian navy engaging at the Mars Offshore Front in 2180
In 2180, during the Second Inner Planetary War, the front saw battles between the United Nations Cosmo Navy and the Martian Autonomous Government Space Navy.[5] In 2203, it became a UNCF line of defense during the Gatlantis Campaign. The Decisive Battle off Mars was fought there. All Dreadnought-class Vanguard Starships produced specifically for the Mars Defense Front were painted with the red planet's color.[1][2][8]
