| ~ Official Description |
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 has changed after it's colonization and terraforming by Super Earth, as not only can humans now walk on it's surface without dying from radiation or asphyxiation, but small amounts of desert shrubbery can even be seen around the Helldiver training facilities by recruits. 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.
Mars Training Facility[ | ]
"See you on the other side."
Mars houses the training facilities where new recruits are guided by General Brasch - the instructor for the Helldiver Training test - through the test that certifies them as ready for service as Helldivers and grants them the cape they will don on the battlefield as they exterminate liberty's enemies.
While the Helldiver training program is undeniably infallible, Helldivers are able to repeat their training if they deem it necessary.
