Mars

"'Mars wasn't the place it used to be, that much I can tell you.'""— Bulletin board poster of Mars"Mars, also known as the Red Planet is a planet located in the Sol System. It was one of the first planets terraformed to support human life and settled by human scientists and settlers. By 2281, it achieved colony rights in the Confederate charter and established its capital city in Galileus.

Mars was also the planet which the Red War was fought between the Confederacy and the United Earth Colonies, and later the Secessionist for control of the planet. Since the ending of the Red War, Mars has been recovering from the destruction.

As the Interstellar Federation rose to power, Mars was one of handful of planets given sovereignty rights, which they used to form the 'United Mars Republics' to interact with the Federal goverment and represent them in the Council.

Government
The United Mars Republics headquarters is located in the city of Galileus. The Headquarters serves as the main base of operations for the government for much of its infancy years but serves as the hook that keeps the vying nations together and unified within the uni-planetary government. Each sponsor contains important usage to the overall government and how it runs, such as the military arm that was dubbed the Colonial Mars Force that comprised of all military assets that served underneath the United Mars Republic and the Solar Federation adjudication and to help expend the interests of humanity.
