Worldbuilding: The Frontier Wars

Wars don't happen in a vacuum, even in space. They're the result of countless conflicts that go unresolved, leading to a fragile state of society where it only takes one mistake, one scared trigger squeeze, and the rest of humanity pays the price. In the Spacers Saga, the outer planets of the solar system have been the battle ground for the oligarchs, zealots and armies of the solar system for decades. The gunpowder was poured. The gasoline primed. Then one day, a scared trigger finger on Mars lit the fuse.
