{{Quote|A primitive and devout civilization was carved into the dust-filled canyons of Mars. These aging and severely eroded habitations miraculously remain intact, regardless of how much Grineer machinery has been fastened to it. Rusty metal and oil-soaked sand mark the territory of its new proprietors.|Mars Fragment}}
{{Quote|The Grineer have reclaimed the abandoned dwellings of an ancient society which sprung up around a massive Orokin terraforming device. Content to make use of existing structures, Mars' current occupants have established a base of military operations in one of the few regions that has a habitable climate moderated by Orokin technology.|Mars Settlement Fragment}}
'''Mars''' is a planet under {{Faction|Grineer}} control, with skirmishes and several [[Crossfire]] missions with the {{Faction|Corpus}}.

Mars is the fourth planet accessible to players, and it becomes accessible by defeating the [[Specter]] in the [[Junction|Mars Junction]] on [[Earth]] after completing the required tasks.

The [[Bosses|Assassination Target]] for Mars is [[Lieutenant Lech Kril]], located in the mission node War. Lieutenant Lech Kril drops the component [[blueprints]] for the parts of the {{WF|Excalibur}} [[Warframe]].

Mars is the only planet to feature the [[Grineer Settlement]] [[Tileset]] as its primary environment.

== Lore & History ==

=== [[Synthesis#Corrupted Ancient|Corrupted Ancient Synthesis Imprint]] ===

=== [[Sands of Inaros|Sand of Inaros]] ===
Mars was originally inhabited by a civilization that worshiped the [[Orokin|'Golden Skymen']]. The Grineer eventually invaded the planet in their usual violent manner and exterminated the locals, with [[Baro Ki'Teer]] being the only known survivor of the invasion. It is also the possible place of origin of the {{WF|Inaros}} Warframe.

     Modifying the display-routine is not adviced, unless you are an advanced user and know a computer-language or two.--->

==Notes==
*Due to the split [[Corpus]] and [[Grineer]] ownership of Mars, [[Environmental Hazards#Faction Wars|faction incursions]] have a higher chance of occurring, including on missions that normally do not feature said incursions such as [[Mobile Defense]].
*An immense object can be seen above the clouds in space; the object appears to be a [[Grineer Asteroid]] base, probably [[Phobos]] due to its past as a Grineer occupied territory (whereas it can't be [[Deimos]], the second moon of Mars, due to it being visibly overtaken by the [[Infested]]). This is quite remarkable for how large the object is seen in space, perhaps making it the largest [[Grineer]] mining operation to date. 
*[[File:MarsU9side.png|thumb]] 
*Although the Grineer are supposed to have recently occupied the planet (or that it is one of their most recent occupations at any rate) there are signs of very old Grineer-like equipment scattered and rusting in some places, this either suggests that the Grineer were previously here before but had to evacuate at some point, or something about Mars rusts and corrodes metals at an accelerated rate.
*The planet is littered with massive wind generators, providing what appears to be the majority of the planet's power, and various pumps and water bays are used to filter and process water.
*Mars is one of the celestial bodes, the other being Earth, Venus, Deimos and Uranus, where wild creatures are encounterable, with such creatures being the [[Desert Skate|Desert Skates]].

==Tips==
*[[Lieutenant Lech Kril]] can drop [[Gallium]] in quantities of up to two.
*During [[Crossfire]] missions, both the [[Corpus]] and the [[Grineer]] will activate the opposing faction's security systems.
*Mars is the best [[Planet]] to farm [[Salvage]], due to the fact that Salvage is the only non-rare [[Resources|Resource]] on the planet.

==Trivia==
*Since {{ver|22}}, [[Maroo's Bazaar]] was relocated from [[Earth]] to Mars.
*[[wikipedia:Mars|Mars]] is named after the [[wikipedia:Mars (mythology)|Roman God of war]]; both the god and planet are associated with war and death.
*Mission nodes on Mars are usually named after real life geographical locations on the planet or aspects of Greek or Roman culture.
**''Alator'' was the God of Celtic Britain, invoked in an inscription at Barkway, Hertfordshire, which links him with Gaulish Mars.
**''[[wikipedia: Ara|Ara]]'' was one of the 48 Greek constellations described by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy.
**''[[wikipedia: Ares|Ares]]'' is the original Greek name for Mars.
**''[[wikipedia: Augustus|Augustus]]'' was the first Emperor of the Roman Empire.
**''[[wikipedia: Hellas|Hellas]]'', ''[[wikipedia: Syrtis|Syrtis]]'', ''[[wikipedia: Tharsis|Tharsis]]'' and ''[[wikipedia: Vallis|Vallis]]'' are all names related to Martian geography.
**''[[wikipedia: Mars (mythology)#Mars Gradivus|Gradivus]]'' was one of the gods by whom a general or soldiers might swear an oath to be valorous in battle.
**''Martialis'' means "from Mars".
**''[[wikipedia: Mount Olympus|Olympus]]'' was the home of the Greek Gods in Greek mythology, it's also the name of the Highest mountain on Mars and in our solar system: Olympus Mons.
**A ''[[wikipedia: Spear|Spear]]'' is a pole weapon consisting of a shaft with a pointed head which became the standard weapon of Roman legionaries for a period of time.
**''Ultor'' is named after one of Mars' epithets, Mars Ultor ("Mars the Avenger" in Latin).
**''War'' reflects Mars' role as the Roman God of War.
*The fact that both the Corpus and the Grineer are present on Mars is a nod to [[The Gradivus Dilemma]], which ended with the Grineer taking over several nodes originally controlled by the Corpus. 
**Along with the [[Infested]]-controlled [[Dark Sectors]], this makes Mars the first (and so far, the only) planet where all three major enemy factions are present.
**Mars was a purely Corpus-controlled planet from {{ver|14}} until {{ver|15.13}}, when several nodes were given to the Grineer.
*When originally released, Mars had the snowy [[Corpus Outpost]] tileset as its environment, which did not reflect the red, sandy environment that Mars has. This was fixed in {{ver|19}}, with the [[Grineer Settlement]] tileset replacing Corpus Outpost as the main planetary tileset to better reflect Mars' appearance.
**Due to an additional change in the Specters of the Rail update, Fieldron samples drop on this planet, even though the Grineer control almost all the nodes on the planet. Whether this is an inconsistent error, or a nod to the fact that the Corpus used to completely control Mars, is unknown. <!-- most likely to keep the ratio of Detonite to Fieldron close. Currently at 8:6 due to Lua inheriting Earth's resources. -->
**Upon reflecting changes after the previous [[Star Chart]] UI was replaced in {{ver|Specters of the Rail}}. Snowy spots are view-able on Mars' surface where the Corpus reside in their [[Corpus Outpost]]s.
*The Grineer conquest of the planet was referenced in the [[Sands of Inaros]] quest.
