Factions on Mars


Man is in the early stages of terraforming Mars to their needs. The process is hampered by various factions fighting over resources and power. Communications with Earth and The Lunar Colonies are slowly failing, making the situation even more chaotic.

Below you will find a short description of the five major factions on Mars.

Mostly populated by people originally from India and Great Britain, but there are also families hailing from the rest of the old Commonwealth back on Earth. They have a professional army consisting mostly of Ghurkas and Sikhs.

New Kalmar-Mars (NKal-Mars):
The residents of Nkal-Mars are originally from one of the old Nordic countries, but there are also some people from the old Baltic countries. You can also find a few from northern parts of Germany. Nkal-Mars have at the moment a semi-professional army called the Tyrian Legions.
