Lockdown of Eos

Sides	Earth Defense Force, Red Faction
Leaders	EDF: General Bertram Roth RF: Commander Hugo Davies
Location	Eos, Tharsis, Mars
Outcome	Red Faction Victory.

The Lockdown of Eos was an Earth Defense Force action during the Battle of Eos and an attempt to force the citizens of the sector Eos to give up members of the Red Faction insurgency operating amongst them. A growing support base among the population of the sector panicked the EDF. Edicts were passed telling people to stay indoors and that all travel was forbidden. They deployed snipers armed with rail drivers and sniper rifles on rooftops and in buildings, notably at the shops in Nestled Hills and at the Utopia Planitia Plaza, with orders to kill on sight. The aim was to starve the colonists, leaving them no choice but to betray the Red Faction. This was, among many others leading up to and during the Second Martian Revolution, one of the major clear-cut examples of the war crimes committed by the EDF. Many innocent civilians died, picked off by sniper fire.

The Red Faction commander, Hugo Davies, dispatched one of his most relied upon fighters, Alec Mason, to eliminate the snipers and stop the EDFs plan before the organisation was compromised.
