'''Mars''', also known as '''Sacred Mars'''{{Fn|13}} or simply '''The Red Planet'''{{Fn|7b}}, is the fourth planet of the Sol system.{{Fn|18}} It is the domain, headquarters, and principal [[Forge World]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]].{{Fn|8a}}
==Overview==
In the [[Age of the Imperium]], Mars is home to untold billions of [[servitor]]s and the Cult Mechanicus [[tech-priest]]s, the devoted servants of its techno-arcane [[Machine God]]. The planet is covered in sprawling hives reaching miles into the Martian sky and their foundations delving deep into the planet's core. Orbital factories circle the equatorial belt, their ceaseless industry forming a glowing halo around the planet.{{Cite Marker End}}
In [[M41]], Mars itself would come under attack by a bizarre suicidal [[Necron]] raid. Somehow, five [[Necron]] [[Shroud Class Light Cruiser]]s managed to penetrate the formidable planetary defenses defences of the world. After pursuing the invaders to a mining complex in the northern regions of the planet known as the Noctis Labyrinthus, defense defence ships were finally able to catch and destroy the Necron vessels, though only to great cost to themselves. Moreover, one ship managed to actually land on the soil of Mars before being vaporised. What the Necrons hoped to gain by this remains a mystery.{{Fn|3a}} The threat was neutralised and the landing site quarantined.{{Fn|3d}}
