Mars
Location from The Expanse by James S.A. Corey
The Martian Congressional Republic — a military-industrial civilization built around a centuries-long terraforming project. The dream of a green Mars defined Martian identity until the Ring Gates opened and made it pointless.
Also known as: Mars, Martian Congressional Republic, MCR
What They Know
- The terraforming project was a centuries-long effort to make Mars habitable — every Martian's identity was built around sacrificing for future generations
- The MCRN fields the most technologically advanced military in the system — Martian engineering compensates for Earth's numerical superiority
- Solomon Epstein invented the Epstein drive on Mars, giving humanity practical interplanetary travel and giving Mars its greatest strategic asset
- The Ring Gates destroyed Martian morale — the dream of terraforming became pointless when habitable worlds were available immediately
- Rogue MCRN officers sold military assets to Marco Inaros's Free Navy and Duarte's Laconian faction, bleeding Mars's military strength
- Bobbie Draper represents the best of Martian military culture — disciplined, loyal, willing to sacrifice for something larger than herself
