Free Navy

Marco Inaros's revolutionary Belter fleet rules by closed gates, military seizure, and a claimed duty to feed the Belt.

Story so far

The Free Navy has emerged from secrecy as the Belt's military power. It holds Medina Station and the only functioning navy in the system, closes the Ring gate to colony traffic, and orders ships bound for new worlds to surrender their stored supplies for redistribution.

To its captains, these seizures are a harsh necessity after war and scarcity; to the colonists of the Hornblower, they are piracy. The faction's inner circle includes Marco Inaros, Anderson Dawes, Rosenfeld, and Sanjrani, and its authority reaches from Ceres to isolated ships searching the dark for escape.

Appearance

A revolutionary naval force identified by Marco's distinctive Free Navy salute and crews drawn from Belter and repurposed Martian military life.
