OOC: Continuation of the post below.

Mars Orbit

''Ten space submarines arrive over Mars and remain surfaced, providing a visible guarding presence. Ten minutes later, a massive region of space ripples and a massive 40km spherical station surrounded by a massive network of ships drops out of warp above the red planet. Immediately after arriving, the network of ships disperses throughout the area to provide guard while the larger cruisers and capital ships quickly attach towing lines to the station and pull in concert. Their aim is to quickly decelerate the station, which has warped in from Mercury with far too much velocity to remain in the Martian gravity well, to a velocity that ensures a stable orbit. They have but a narrow four-hour window where the station can be captured, and if orbital velocity is not attained by then, the station will escape Mars and drift into orbit around the sun.''
