A blanket transmission is sent out within the Solar System with the following message:

'''The Aneph High Command wishes to notify all navies with a presence in and around Mars that Aneph will be moving a large station into orbit around Mars within several days. This station will serve as an artificial moon to generate tides within the planet as well as tides in the oceans that will result from ongoing terraforming efforts. Due to the unprecedented nature of this move, this move is being deemed Extremely-High-Risk by Aneph. A very narrow window exists between when the station will arrive and roughly four hours after arrival where the station needs to be accelerated to a velocity that ensures a stable orbit around the planet, and if the target velocity is not reached, the station may impact the surface or escape Mars' gravity well. If any of these scenarios occur, results may be catastrophic for all navies in the area.'''

'''We therefore request that all non-critical traffic in the region between Low Mars Orbit and Areostationary (Mars Geosynchronous) Orbit be prohibited by all navies within 24 hours, extending for 48 hours thereafter. Any traffic that absolutely MUST exist in the specified region should provide hourly reports of its orbital position, velocity, path, and inclination to Arsia Spaceport ATC, which will be functioning as a primary coordination center for this operation. It is recommended that any navigation instructions recieved from Arsia be followed as soon as is possible in order to avoid potentially dangerous situations.'''

'''Please note that this notice serves as a legal disclaimer absolving Aneph of any incidents occuring during the move that result from other navies not following the aforementioned instructions. In addition, if any incident caused by another navy's disregard for the aforementioned instructions results in the failure of the move, that navy WILL be held responsible for the failure as well as any resulting destruction or damages, and may be subject to an IMMEDIATE declaration of war by Aneph. '''

Thank you in advance for your cooperation, and please stay tuned for further information.
