Alternate OGRE

Arrows of Orion
The American Orion program sent a manned mission to Mars in the early seventies. Before the end of the decade the Soviets had stolen the nuclear propulsion technology and sent up their own mission - not a full crew and supplies enough for a long voyage of Solar exploration, but instead propelling an OGRE class smart-tech rocket tank to claim strategic mineral resources and Lunar territory in the name of the people of the Soviet Union. Ever since Luna, Mars, and some of the larger asteroids and planetoids have been the prowling grounds of roaming autonomous rocket-propelled nuclear weapons launch platforms; carving up heavy metals and rare volatiles to fuel the ever growing machinery of war building up back planetside. War, for decades now, has seemed ever imminent.
