Template:SeeWikipedia Template:Planet Mars (known as "Edom" to pre-historic humans and the Forerunners[1]) is the fourth planet of the Sol System, and one of four terrestrial worlds.
History
Forerunner era
Ten thousand years after the Human-Forerunner War, Forerunner Miners worked on Mars. Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting was sent to work into a step family of Miners as punishment for his rebellious ways.[1]
Interplanetary War
- Main article: Interplanetary War
Mars was one of the first worlds colonized by humanity settled in 2080.[2] It has since been terraformed into a planet with near-Earth conditions, becoming home to many. Regardless, Mars was the site of a decisive battle during a period where the United Nations organization transitioned into the United Nations Space Command. The UNSC Marines routed the neo-Communist Koslovics on the planet during a series of brutal conflicts in the 2100's before moving on to destroy the Koslovic and Frieden movements throughout the solar system.
Human-Covenant War
- Main article: Human-Covenant War
On January 18, 2524, a telescope located on or orbiting Mars spotted the Covenant planetoid station High Charity.
Once again, Mars was the site of a large scale engagement called the Battle of Mare Erythraeum, set on the fields of Mare Erythraeum. There, Colonel James Ackerson and his UNSC Defense Forces combated against the Covenant Loyalist Army, commanded by Jiralhanae Chieftain Lepidus, a battle the UNSC also lost.[3]

Trivia
- Terraforming has transformed the surface of Mars from a former barren and uninhabitable environment into an Earth-like world,[4] [5] despite its still having a red-orange color when seen from space in Halo: Uprising. The Encyclopedia contradicts this, saying that Mars is now "as blue and green as Earth."
- Mars is the birthplace of Nicole-458, Dutch and Benjamin M. Nunez.
- In Halo: Landfall, a scene on Mars is depicted with a large setting sun in the background (see "Misriah Armory" image). This is inaccurate, as Mars is farther from Sol than Earth, and therefore the sun would appear smaller. This is probably a simple oversight.
