==History==
The ''"Red Planet'' as it is called, is acclaimed as a wonder of the galaxy. In the early 22nd century it became the first planet to be terraformed by [[human]]s. After being made habitable, the planet was settled by industrial cartels, and it soon developed into the first [[Hive World]] and a center of industry and scientific advancement. During the [[Dark Age of Technology]], the empires of Mars and Earth peacefully coexisted.{{Fn|2}}
During the [[Age of Strife]], Mars endured long centuries of isolation as complete anarchy ripped through [[Terra]]. Mars's own atmospheric shields gave way, exposing the planet to deadly radiation that devastated the planet. During this time, fallout shelters represented the only hope for ones survival on Mars. Technology, now responsible for one's very existence, soon became revered and the worship of the [[Omnissiah]] began in earnest.{{Fn|6}}
