The group who blew up the Cant (who were associated with the people who
showed up on Eros and infected it with protomolecule) is trying to start a
war between the UN and Mars.  They blew up the Cant, which stirred up the
Belters, then blew up the Donanger, a Martian Navy ship, to make it look
like it was the UN that was behind everything.

I am not sure it mattered that it was the Cant.  I think they were looking
to blow up whoever answered the distress call in order to start a conflict.

The invaders took Julie aboard their ship.  She was taken aboard the same ship
that blew up the Cant.  The invaders were apparently transporting some of
the protomolecule somewhere.  It must have somehow got loose on their ship and
eventually killed/consumed them all.  I think they knew what it was but
maybe didn't know how careful they needed to be with it, OR it could be
that they were part of the experimentation with it and didn't know it.

I didn't pick up on this the first time, but there must have been 5 of
those stealth ships.  The one that the Scopuli was looking out for, that
took Julie hostage, blew up the Cant, then was infected and abandoned on
that rock.  Then there were the four that attacked the Donanger.  At least
one of them survived that battle, I think.

That is a large, private Navy.

Originally, and some of the seasons were more than a year apart.  :O  :D
