Crimson Star
During the early era of the colonization of Mars, several strong families of government officials had skillfully built their political and national characters of the new Mars nation around the ideal that it is the best of humanity to organize and create a leading government of the Mars people to protect the rights of the citizens from any hostile takeovers from opportunistic governments from Earth. Over the decades they have been manipulating the Mars citizens into believing that the need for a strong and ruthless military force is required for such protection. As the mars population grew so too did the size of the hidden army and weapon stockpiles, the military became increasingly active in all facets of Mars society. The lowliest ranking was regarded as a dedicated, national hero entrusted with law enforcement, civil defense and the protection of the Mars way. The new formed military not only engaged in all aspects of defense but also oversaw most scientific research and development, as well as the dissemination of technology, education and propaganda. The goals and actions of the army could not be separated from the governing body of the Mars States or its people. Decades of aggressive military expansion followed and grew into a world power, what was beginning to unfold the Mars War Machine that came to be known as Crimson Star.

Mars
Population: 435,862,753
The first actual planet of colonization, Mars became the jewel many sought to make a new life. Great migrations to the planet upon its terra-forming completion took place. Many great families and nations too advantage of this and began forming mining corporations, defense contracts, and expansion developments for the growing populace. Alloys that were found on Luna were found on Mars that aiding in its economical climb. Taking much less time to terra-form Mars became nicknamed E-3 short for Earth #3. Now with the second largest population Mars as become a “Super Power” to E.D.N and one of it’s most powerful planets and Divisions.
Colonization Process:
Phase 1: Five Year Construction of the Atmosphere Modifiers on Mars.
Phase 2: Two Year Activation of the Atmosphere Modifiers
Phase 3: Seven Year Construction of Bases and Mining of Minerals and Alloys
Phase 4: Two Year Deployment of Atmosphere Control Satellites and Research Colonies
Phase 5: Seven Year Atmosphere Stabilization Trial Timeframe of Water and Vegetation
Phase 6: Twenty Year Colony Trial Period
Phase 7: Three Year Final Trial Assessment Period
Phase 8: Three Years later Colonization completed.

Power Armors and Expanders
Star King Power Armor
Of all the Power Armor units of Crimson Star the seldom seen and utilized is the Star King Power Armor. This is the most formidable power armor in Crimson Star. The Star King is stronger, faster, and more heavily armored than the Crimson Storm and Advent Siren. In addition to the Star King's enhanced abilities, one must notice its weaponry seen and unseen. Although bigger and heavier it is just as fast and maneuverable as any other power armor that is lighter without sacrificing anything.
Crimson Storm Power Armor
The Crimson Storm, Power Armor’s one of the main backbones of Crimson Star’s mechanized division. This power armor provides speed, maneuverability and deadly in all environments, from space to undersea and city streets.
Advent Siren Power Armor
As advancements in technology and robotics continues to shatter barriers between the sexes. The greater physical strength and speed of the male warrior no longer played a consistent vital role in the modern schemes of warfare. More and more women came forward for war and could capably pilot tanks, fighters, expanders and special tailored suits of power armors as well as any man the age of the male dominated gender combat pilot and command were over.
Mortar Boy Series 2
Crimson Star released its own Mortar Boy Series 2. This was the first Expander to have flight capabilities. It could fly in the atmosphere and space, and had incredible speeds and maneuverability in both. It still retained most of the same basic features with slight changes here and there in appearance of the original Mortar Boy. Now carrying more armor, missiles, and also the SH-1 Pulsar Energy Rifle. This Expander reached the top ten of deadly. Once a small Torva Hydax Fleet of five scout ships destroyed Asteroid Outpost Zeus. A detachment of Fireflies was sent out to intercept and neutralize that fleet. They did it with only two casualties and one badly damaged. The Firefly has done more than its share to prove its worth to E.D.E.N. Fireflies were at first reserved for many high ranking officers and ace pilots, but the need for more outweighed that. They would be mostly deployed in space since that is where they have been most effective. In atmospheric conditions they are still well maneuverable but weight drag plays its part here and there. Fireflies are still in production by Crimson Star. They are the all time countermeasure Expander units of E.D.E.N.

Nebula Mover, Destroyer
In the early years following the initial Division wars, Crimson Star quickly rebuilt lost infrastructure and soon was building a fleet. Impressed with the initial combat performance and multi-functionality the Nebula Mover Class Space Cruisers, went to the head of the class of Crimson Star and construction of these vessels became paramount.
Venom Wing
The Venom Wing Fighter/Bomber is designed by Crimson Star to intercept incoming fighters as and make bombing runs against ships, space stations and other large targets. When it’s depleted its bombs and missiles the Venom Wing switches to its rapid fire laser cannons built into both sides of the nose to continue the fight.
Devilfish, Destroyer
The Devilfish is a destroyer class cruiser. It is smaller but also powerful possessing excellent weaponry and speed. Although it is the smallest cruiser in Crimson Star this stealthy cruiser has greater firepower and a nice compliment of fighters and expanders.
Harvester Station, Manufacturing Station
The Harvester Stations of Crimson Star were built to be utilized as command manufacturing hubs stations. They preside over ship construction yards and planetary defenses. However only 5 have been built. 3 are in orbit of Mars, 1 in orbit of Mar’s Moon, Phobos and the other is secretly in orbit of Mercury and remains in its dark side. These large stations can manufacture fighters, shuttles, frigates, cruisers and expanders. They are equipped with huge automated manufacturing computers, machines and robots to adapt and suit any means of construction. Large compliments of mining, digging and extracting vehicles and drones which have been built to withstand the most rigorous atmospheres, climates and conditions.
