The modern Martians no longer live on the Mars of Sol, but New Mars, a better world and centre of a growing colonial empire. Old Mars is actually still part of the Earther Empire.

The Martians and the Earthers represent the Old Home System, the Martians in particular have a strong military tradition, many of them are to be found working as mercenaries in many armies and fleets in the Universe. They have a fierce pride and famous stubbornness in battle and are well regarded as in a fight. Martians tend to look down on anyone from a newer colony than theirs (i.e. everyone except Earthers and other Martians).
