Mars is the linchpin of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] and the greatest repository of technical knowledge in the [[Imperium]].{{Fn|7a}}{{Fn|8a}} Martian society is highly stratified, with the lowest level consistent consisting of unaugmented [[Human]] citizens who labour en masse at simple tasks. Most citizens aspire to gain status by joining the [[Skitarii]]. In the process, they will receive their first bionics. Above these menials and soldiers are the ruling order, the [[Tech-Priest]]s. The planet itself is ruled directly by the [[Fabricator-General]] of the Mechanicum.{{Fn|7b}}
Mars is the home of the mightiest fleet in the [[Imperium]], the [[Battlefleet Solar]]; above the equator vast space docks float in geo-stationary orbit. Mars serves as the [[Segmentum]] fortress of [[Segmentum Solar]], and is the home world of several [[Titan Legion]]s, including the [[Legio Ignatum]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|8a}}
Some rumours tell that the [[C'tan]] [[Void Dragon]] resides deep under Mars' surface. Another rumour says that the [[Primarch]] [[Ferrus Manus]] survived the [[Dropsite Massacre|Isstvan V massacre]] and now resides on Mars, though this is strictly rejected by the [[Iron Hands]].{{Fn|3c}}
