The Battle of Mars was one of the final battles of the Earth Alliance Civil War.

During the final phase of the civil war, Mars was protected by over thirty Earth Alliance destroyers under the command of General Robert Leftcourt aboard the EAS Apollo. Also they had support from Earth Alliance installations on the planet.

As the Martian resistance begins to prepare for the comming battle by scouting the installations and smuggling the frozen Shadow-enhanced telepaths onto the Earth Alliance warships, Sheridan and his fleet also prepare to move in as well. The White Star Fleet and the Earth Alliance vessels that had joined them would lead the attack while the rest of the fleet would provide flank protection and establish a perimeter. They would not directly engage unless fired upon.

Once everything is ready to go, Garibaldi sends word to the fleet. The battle begins with attacks by the Martian resistance on four of the main Earth Alliance installations and one of the White Stars attacking a fifth. Several of Leftcourt's ships move in back to the planet but he orders them to hold position. Meanwhile the Shadow-enhanced telepaths awaken and begin to take control of the Earth Alliance destroyers.

Shortly afterwards, Sheridan's forces jump into the space around Mars. Before Leftcourt can engage, his ship as well many loose power as the telepaths take control. Those that aren't affected are quickly disabled by the White Stars. With the resistance from Mars taken care off, a large portion of Sheridan's fleet makes the jump to Earth while the rest look after the disabled warships.

Eventually, Leftcourt's command vessel, the EAS Apollo manages to repair her damage and departs for Earth. [1]
