The Defenders are an elite military force tasked with the protection of Ark ships, including the Endeavour Six. They are the world's very best soldiers and have been ultimately recruited to serve on Mars. They wear and operate relatively simple gear with small but effective enhancements, including the reduction of muscle fatigue, the improvement of shot accuracy, and better protection against the elements and long range bullets. The uniform also includes a protective helmet that provides a communication system, air filtration said to improve air flow under pressure, and improved vision and detection of targets. Their weaponry may vary depending on their assignment, but every weapon is a modern enhancement of a classic weapon. Enhancements include everything from better stability to increased rates of fire.
Nobody seems certain of when Novus Ordo came into existence, seeming to spawn from nowhere. They are a military-power with no identifiable leader, made up especially of ex-soldiers, gang members, and those willing or forced to join their rule. Their numbers accelerated at a dramatic pace, in part because of the mass of resources they had come to acquire, including medicines and quality weaponry. They seek no more than to spread their influence and oppress what remains of the dying world, determined to claim what's left as their own.
The Novus Ordo has spread throughout various regions of North America, claiming territories and developing bases and camps. Its members do not share a uniform, but rather a relatively standard insignia of a skull and snake, which is tattooed on their bodies and marked on their uniforms.
