They also strike against Mars in an assassination attempt against Nathan Smith, and Tycho Station, the corporate arm of the OPA.

In a brazen blitzkrieg of attacks, the Free Navy, which had slipped away with its newly re-purposed and stolen cache of ships and equipment, successfully launch a near-apocalyptic attack against Earth. Filip has already participated in multiple attacks and raids and is soon on the run from the MCR. He plans to "inherit" the Free Navy organization. He officially declares, that the United Nations (UN) and MCR will be allowed to exist and govern themselves, but they must submit the gates to the Free Navy and will no longer have any jurisdiction over the Belt.įilip Inaros, the son of Marco Inaros and his former lover Naomi Nagata, is being groomed by his father to equally hate Earth, Mars, his mother, and the inner system.
Marco, on behalf of his Free Navy organization, delivers a threat/ultimatum to the Inner Planets. They attempt to disperse the newly fitted and branded ships throughout different stations along the Belt. Some of the missing ships were indeed being captured, pirated, refitted, and re-purposed into the Free Navy's growing armada. While the ratio isn't too high, enough of them begin to go missing that it raises some eyebrows. Most alarmingly, ships begin to disappear on their way through the gate system. The Free Navy begins strategically attacking targets and stealing ships, weapons, cargo, water, ship parts, and other supplies. In reaction to this, Marco channels his already established resentment of the Inners into the creation of the Free Navy. With the gate in place and other worlds looking to be more highly desired realms of exploration, the Belt would be abandoned. The Belt was once the frontier and the destination of many travellers and thus held much influence in trading.
Marco and his group fear that the appearance of the gates (and thus travel to distant, habitable worlds) will cause the Belt to fall into economic collapse. The MCRN Callisto shipyards and Pallas Station were two particular targets of the Free Navy.
"OPA Extremists", as Fred Johnson refers to them, led by Marco, the Free Navy has begun initiating pirate-like and even terrorist attacks against the Martian Congressional Republic (MCR) and OPA held facilities. The creation of Naomi Nagata's ex-lover Marco Inaros, this cell of the OPA wants to focus on controlling the newly discovered gate system that has emerged at the edge of the Sol system. “Catching fire” - Spoilers for Nemesis Games follow.
