Martian Footfalls
The mainstay of the Martian excursion is the Triskelion. A mobile artillery piece on 3 telescoping legs strides through the ocean and across all terrain, held off by the great walls and guns of Fortress Europa. Its versaitility allows it to take on a range of missions - search & destroy, harvesting, field testing, take & hold, etc.
The Grand Alliance holds onto the hope that there's a finite number of the machines. A hope that may be in vain as Martian offensives slowly ramp up, with varying numbers and load outs. No two Triskelions are equipped the same, some carry chemical payloads, some fly, and others seek out Earthling experts to harvest their psyches.
