==Sons of Mars==
<br>
===Historical files=== 
<br>
Back in the 2100's, Mars was a colony under the Space Authority with a few million people and very ambitious terraforming plans. Unrest from poor treatment and appropriation of resources after the crash of '09 caused rioting on Mars. Because of it's industrial importance the Authority's forces were eventually called in to quell the rapidly escalating situation. Tensions ran high and the revolt was ended with violence and bloody force. The survivors chafed under Authority rule, but made plans in secret with the assistance of other stations. In 2160, nearly the entire planet's population left in a first-generation STL ship, pulling a coup on the newly-formed TerraGov, but also taking the biggest
source of opposition to TG outsystem.

===Overview===
<br>
One of the Big-3 members, the Sons of Mars are based on Cydonia, a small, partially terraformed world ringed by orbital stations and the occasional cometary impact. The Sons are a major industrial power, due to the very large number of initial colonists, and due to their initial expertise. They're the only member of the ICC that can build a Cyanspace drive and are the primary naval and engineering supplier of the ICC. They're the least friendly with TerraGov out of the Big-3.
