TERRITORY


HISTORY
A long time ago the Mars civilization were living in their golden age, with their great technology dominating the entire planet. Massive rows of plants and factories spread over the Martian surface turning it into the red barren wastes we currently know. Yet the arrogance of the Martians also spelled their doom as their extensive industrialization was gradually killing Mars. To escape their fate Martians began crafting their plans for a massive invasion and colonization objective with their target being the planet they just called "Earth". For this purpose they build a colossal electromagnetic cannon to accelerate projectiles into space. Thus began the Martian invasion. Even with their small numbers their technology allowed Martians to dominate any opposition until they received terrible news from homeworld. Their grand project the space cannon had some unintended consequences to the planet's magnetic field. The cannon broke down and worse it soon lead to Mars becoming uninhabitable, murdering most of the Martian race. Left with the terrible news and the fact his tiny force of a few thousand were the only Martians left in the universe Legatus Keara-Shoale made a logical yet hard decision. He declared his holdings the new Sarmakth and began to rebuild their now lost civilization. It's been over a century since then. The Martian dominion on Earth kept growing and developing but they were still not ready to take on the rest of the Terrons. They were living in an age of transition, lording over the Terrons yet also working with them. The true rise of their many-tentacled dominion was still centuries away.

DEMOGRAPHICS
~15,000 Martians (dominant race)
Roughly cephaloid/octopus like creatures originated from Mars. Most of their large bear-sized body is made out of their brain tissue with only minimal space for their heart and digestive systems. Under Mars's gravity they were magnificent creatures stalking proudly over the lands with their eight tentacle-legs. Under the Earth's much higher gravity though they became sluggish beings requiring mechanical aid to move other than pitifully crawling on the ground. Since they lack proper digestive systems the Martians live by siphoning nutrients from other creatures through their blood. For this purpose they have a large beak surrounded by eight small tentacle-like stingers to pump out blood from their victims within minutes. The Martians are incapable of speech and instead their huge brains allow them to communicate between each other via telepathy. When they must communicate with other species the Martians use Thralls, terron slaves wired up with a device which interpret their telepathic waves. After listening to the message of its masters the thrall then speaks them out in a language so others can understand. It's also theorized that similar telepathic controls are employed to operate the Martians' complex machinery. Martians are asexual and they reproduce by ejecting a flesh bud which by careful feeding and nurturing gradually grows into a juvenile Martian. Martians can live up to hundreds of years but since they aren't adapted to Earth many of them die before turning 100.

~ 60 million Terrons (collective name used to refer to any sentient races native to this planet)
This is a collective term calling any inhabitants of the planet Martians simply refer as Terra (Earth). Humans, elves, catpeople they are all the same in Martian eyes which view themselves as superior. On a more narrow term Terron is generally referring to their slaves. Terrons live in their own communities and have their own semblance of government but they effectively live to serve the Martians. To ensure this they are implanted with pain-givers, a device which responds to Martian telepathic signals with excruciating electric shocks to punish any Terron daring to disobey them. Removing these pain-givers is difficult and would likely kill the victim thus once a Terron born a slave he or she will die as a slave. Outwardly the Terrons have normal lives but they do so in constant fear of their cephaloid overlords. Due to their lower development and occasional threats the Terrons under martian rule have the average life expectancy of 40-50 years


SOCIETY
Martian society starkly differs from that of other creatures who originate from this planet. Thanks to their telepathy communications and asexual reproduction the Martians put less importance to the individual than their whole community. Martians serve their community first and satisfy their wishes second. Social roles are assumed by Martians on pure practical basis which may even feel incomprehensible to Terrons. Even the almighty Legatus position is signed by Martians without the slightest hint of ambition or power games. Of course that doesn't mean Martians lack ambition. Quite the opposite, actually. Martians are arrogant, prideful and believe themselves superior to all species. Their desire is to eventually rule over the planet and prove they're the pinnacle of evolution. Martians look down on other races and just group them together as "Terrons". Though due to their precarious situation they got rid of their previous hardliner anti-Terron policies and desire to work together with them... at least until the Martians grow strong enough to dominate the whole planet. Being telepathic beings the Martians have no proper language and a century before they barely even had any written culture. Nowadays they adopted a variation of Latin and a hieroglyph-like letter system to make up for that lack. Morals wise Martians don't fully comprehend Terron emotions and for example they view murder with far less weight. On the other hand they understand fear and punish any loss of any Martian life with brutal slaughters. 

Terrons living under Martian rule are technically considered slaves who are bound to do the bidding of their cephaloid overlords. In effect they live in thousands of smaller communities with their own culture and laws and under the oversight of only a few Martians. they have their own political systems, leaders, trade agreements and foreign relations in general. Some of these communities are also working for the Martians to mine their resources or do other deeds in their service though most settlements are left alone without any involvement on the Martian side. Another interesting note is that many of the communities culturally refer to the Martians as their gods and there are various religions founded in their name. Being blind to the ideas of mysticism the Martians neither denied nor promoted this belief, albeit they like the adoration and subservience from their Martian-fearing slaves.

MILITARY
Being oppressive invaders ruling the lands by force the Martians are highly militarized. In effect any matured Martian is capable of fighting in war. Martian military doctrine is drastically different from other nations' which focuses on soldiers. Martians use various warmachines in battle and use terror methods to deter any resistance. Since Mars didn't have large bodies of water the Martians possess no navy, neither they feels a need for it.
Weaponry
Large camera-like device holding a hi-purity viridgen reaction chamber of absolute non-conductivity. When activated this weapon releases a searing ray of often invisible light which can ignite flesh and wood and cause massive burns. Due to its complexity this weapon cannot be scaled down to be carried by infantry and it's mounted exclusively on Martian warmachines. Heat-rays are dreadful and can be quite devastating in battle albeit much less effective on well-protected non-flammable targets like castle walls, steam tanks and armored warships (albeit sustained attacks can bear results). The heat-ray's generator is highly volatile and it'd violently explode if suffers damage.
Thick almost powder-like toxic gas which the Martians deploy for mass-murder. Their composition is variable but their uniting factor is that the Black Smoke is dangerous to most Terrons while harmless to Martians (partially because they don't breathe air). Black smoke is either sprayed from pressurized tubes or spread from cannisters lobbed by bombers and artillery.
Using electricity for centuries even before invading this planet the Martians have knowledge of electromagnetic propulsion like no other. These electric cannons are relatively cheap albeit also weaker than most guns. As such they are mostly used as artillery to lob explosives or black smoke cannisters over long distance.

Vehicles
Large cylindrical body (10m diameter) with bulbous green-tinted canopy cockpit at the center walking on 3 tentacle-like legs for the total height of 30m. The original Fighting-Machines are imposing and powerful, built of an exotic lightweight metal only found on Mars. Their main body is resistant to any but the heaviest cannons albeit the legs and the canopy are susceptible to any sufficiently large caliber gun (light field artillery and upwards). Fighting-Machines also mount the original Heat-Rays with better materials and more precise construction allowing it to exert maximal power. Lastly, Fighting-Machines are immensely fast and can outrun even an express train at full power. Unfortunately the resources to make these machines are lost thus they posses only 24 of these mighty vehicles left operational which they use very sparingly.

Fruit of the Martians' century-long research to build tripods out of Terrestrial materials. The latest product is Fighting-Machine #123 which is roughly 12 meters tall and the main 4 meters wide made almost exclusively out of aluminium. This machine is fast, capable of outpacing horses on full gallop albeit vulnerable to artillery of any kind. Its main armament is of course a Heat-ray which is decently powerful albeit inferior to the ones mounted on the original Invictus-class Fighting-Machines.
25m-wide flat sinusoidal vehicle combusting viridgen to take off and fly at high speed. It's equipped with Heat-ray which can retract back to the airframe at high speeds and a certain number of bombs, either Black Smoke cannisters or Viridgen fuel explosives. Due to its high viridgen consumptie the aircrafts used only when really necessary.
