Mars is the Empire's oldest and most powerful minted world

All of the mechanical priests are from Mars. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, this planet is the most important place for the preservation of human knowledge. Mars is also home to the most magnificent building in the entire human empire, the Temple of All-Knowing, a huge building that took thousands of years to build to store all of humanity's technology and important archives, and is home to countless sacred cast angels (the so-called cast angels may be an integrated control system used to control assembly lines and furnaces to produce various aircraft cannons).

Mars has built a huge Foundry Dock (shipyard) in low Earth orbit, and thanks to this great Foundry, the Martian Fleet is also the most powerful fleet of the Empire's space fleet.

geography

Originally, the surface of Mars was covered with desert, and the color earned it the name "Red Planet". It can also be found that the planet is extremely arid, even now. The planet's surface is dominated by abandoned quarries and mines, and the huge dune-like slag heaps are evidence of Earth's millennia-old mining activities here. The pole is covered by forests, however, the autumn is very cold, and many plants die in the fall, becoming organic soil, which provides one of the few environments for Mars to grow.

history

At the beginning of the 22nd century, Mars became the first planet to be colonized and developed by human beings on Earth at the beginning of the interstellar era. However, the Earth has no interest in transforming this place into an agricultural planet, and due to its mineral resources, it will soon no longer be a settlement, but a huge mining area. Since many of the workers of Mars were the first to reach the frontier of the human space realm, soon with the advancement of technology and science. With this as a foothold, mankind began to further explore the solar system and the universe.

In this war-torn age, the history of the eccentric Cult of the Mechanicus is inextricably linked to Mars.

Significant organizations

The following organizations, based on Mars:

Cult of the Mechanics

The Light of the Departure (i.e., the Martian Fleet)

garrison

Mars has three Titan legions, as well as a large number of Cybernika Mechs and a large number of Cathar Legionnaires

In addition, Mars is the main naval base of the Empire and the Off-War Zone (where the furnace dedicated to casting battleships is located)

Alien shadows

Long before the Empire was founded, an ancient power descended on Mars. It is highly likely to be one of the C'tans. This C'tan sleeps somewhere unknown on Mars. This rumor was carefully taken seriously, and some technical priests even claimed that the emperor was the messenger sent to the mortal world by the great "god of machines", and that he would shoulder the mission of the "god of machines" to save mankind from fire and water as a savior. If this is correct, then the consequences will be extremely dangerous for the Empire.

Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system. It is the domain and headquarters of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and is the most important of all ForgeWorlds. Just like its name, the Red Planet, it is celebrated as a miracle in the galaxy. As early as the distant 22nd century, Mars became the first planet to be colonized by humans. After being modified to be habitable, Mars was chosen as a habitation site by the industrial complex and quickly developed into the first HiveWorld and a center of industrial and technological progress.

During the Age of the Empire, Mars was home to countless servants and technocrats who fanatically believed in the Mechanics and dedicated themselves to their techno-powered Mechanics. The entire planet is covered in irregularly shaped nest cities that protrude into the sky for miles, and the foundations of these nests are deep into the core of the planet. Orbital factories surround the entire equatorial zone, and their constant production forms an ascending ring around the planet. Mars is home to the Empire's most powerful fleet, the Sun Fleet; In the synchronous orbital ring on the surface of the equator is a vast spaceport. Mars (known as the "Ring of Iron") is a star fortress in the solar field and is also the home planet of several Titans, including Legio Ignatum. Some rumors say that theC'tan VoidDragon inhabits the depths beneath the surface of Mars. Another rumor is that Ferrus Manus (the original genogen of the Iron Hand) survived the massacre of theIsstvanV and inhabited Mars, which has been completely denied by theIronHands.

IN THE 41ST MILLENNIUM, MARS ITSELF WAS ALSO ATTACKED BY A BIZARRE NECRON SUICIDE ATTACK. SOMEHOW, 5 NECRON'S SHROUD-CLASS LIGHT CRUISERS MANAGED TO GET THROUGH THE POWERFUL PLANETARY DEFENSES OF MARS. After tracking the invaders to a mining complex in the north of the planet called theNoctis Labyrinthus, the garrison fleet was finally able to catch up and destroy the NECRON fleet, albeit at a cost of their own. In addition, a NECRON ship managed to land on the surface of Mars before it was wiped out. NECRON'S PURPOSE REMAINS A MYSTERY TO THIS DAY.
