* IRejectYourReality: Marco's Free Navy has been kicked out of the Sol system, much of the Belt has turned on him for abandoning Ceres and switched to Drummer's OPA, then a combined three-pronged large-scale counter-attack from the Earth/Mars/Drummer alliance reduces his fleet from about 50 ships (according to displays) to only eight, and his own flagship is damaged. Medina station's railguns are inoperable, and the allied fleet will catch up with them long before they can be repaired. Finally, Duarte sends Marco a blunt message that Laconia has abandoned him. Nevertheless, he boasts to Filip that his victory is at hand, then gives one of his signature Rousing Speeches to the crew claiming that they've been "bloodied" but the Inners are "broken" -- right after he just got his ass handed to him by an Inner fleet composed of ''new'' ships that their still-intact military shipyards have been cranking out since his asteroid attacks, while he just lost whatever real infrastructure he had. It will take years to build up the extra-solar colonies to the point that they can have their own shipyards, a chance lost now that their railgun defenses are down.
