Marsus is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Bunkeria Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world has a nearby Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• It also contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.

History & Background (Dossier)

Pre-Third Imperium:

One of the more powerful planets of the old Interstellar Confederacy, Marsus was known for its main planetary export: mercenary soldiers. Controlled by the government corporation Marsian Mercenaries, Unlimited, Marsus supplied troops to the highest bidder for any purpose. Operations were very profitable until the Marsian government chose to fight on the wrong side in the Confederacy Civil War.

Non-canon: In -241 fanatical Baron Rolf von Toerbach led a battalion of elite Marsian Legionnaires on a brilliant military campaign versus the Sylean Federation.
