They Dumped 6 Million Refugees on Mars—We Turned It Into Paradise in 30 Days | HFY Stories

When 6 million refugees are dumped on Mars as a calculated political failure, the galaxy expects a humanitarian catastrophe. Instead, Captain Arun Karume and a patchwork alliance of humans, Talmar smugglers, Hruun warriors, and desperate engineers refuse to die on schedule.

As they race to turn abandoned terraforming equipment and sheer stubborn will into *actual survival*, powerful forces realize these refugees aren't collapsing—they're building something dangerous: *hope*. And when an empire decides to crush their experiment with a weapon designed to look like an accident, Mars has 0.5 days to turn their attackers' own strike into the galaxy's most damning evidence.

From a teenage hacker holding together a planet-wide network with stolen bandwidth, to a doctor reinventing triage in dust-choked caverns, to a captain who keeps signing off on *impossible plans that somehow work*—this is the story of what happens when you tell humanity where it's allowed to exist.

They were supposed to be a *warning*. They became a *precedent*.
