Mars

Mars is one of the two planets that reside within the Sol System. It is the fourth planet of the Sol System and the location of the training facilities where the Helldivers are trained, before receiving their cape and being assigned to a Super Destroyer.

Topography
Mars is a terrestrial planet with a surface that consists of minerals containing silicon and oxygen, metals, and other elements that typically make up rock. One of the most striking aspects of the Martian surface is the contrast between the southern and northern hemispheres. Most of the southern hemisphere is high-standing and heavily cratered, resembling the battered highlands of the Moon. Most of the northern hemisphere is low-lying and sparsely cratered.

Mars possessed no known forms of native life prior to human exploration, mainly due to its extremely cold, thin atmosphere and sterilizing radiation. This seems to have changed after it's colonization and possible terraforming by Super Earth, as not only can humans walk on it's surface without dying, but small amounts of desert shrubbery can be seen around the Helldiver training facilities. Some Terminids are also kept in captivity at aforementioned facilities, mainly for use as target practice by Helldivers in training. These bugs are closely monitored and safely contained behind razor wire, moats, concrete walls and automated sentry guns, making the possibility of one escaping into the wild... unlikely.
