Shadow on the Moon

The financial and economic crisis is over, and the Lunar Free State is beginning to pull out of the recession it suffered competing with the Confederated Nations over the Xanadu colonies. Now, however, the LFS is indebted to the CNE, and the new Lunar government is gradually falling under CNE's influence. In a few years, the LFS will become just another puppet state under the CNE banner. For the power players of the Invisible Hand, all is going according to plan, yet some of them are impatient. Why wait for the slow decline of the LFS when you can take it all by force? A bold, devastating attack, much like that on Pearl Harbor in 1941, is the answer. But like so many in the past who failed to study history, they don't stop to consider how Pearl Harbor worked out for the attackers in the long run, and it's up to a few hard-core patriots in the LFS military to teach them that lesson.
