Similar to the capitalism model of the 20th and 21st Centuries of United Earth history, and largely expanded by the growth of Ferengi whom have made the Mars Colonies their home, the colony cities are ripe with a diverse and often politically-charged climates, especially during election cycles. It’s not uncommon for campaigning representatives to drop out the election cycles, as well as return endorsed and backed by another platform of businesses. | Similar to the capitalism model of the 20th and 21st Centuries of United Earth history, and largely expanded by the growth of Ferengi whom have made the Mars Colonies their home, the colony cities are ripe with a diverse and often politically-charged climates, especially during election cycles.

Starfleet is also responsible for the Mars Defense Perimeter, although eventually became the joke of scuttlebutt when the Perimeter was decimated in the Wolf 359 standoff with the Borg in 2367. Following the massive destruction of the laughable perimeter, a team of both Martian and Starfleet Engineers went back to redesign perimeter defense which would encompass another decade and a half, until 2382 when a complex system compromising target defense systems and torpedo response as a dual-octagon grid surrounding both Mars and Earth was placed into effect to serve as a better means of armament, along with the development of what is dubbed the Sol-Armament Class line of warships. | Starfleet is also responsible for the Mars Defense Perimeter, although eventually became the joke of scuttlebutt when the Perimeter was decimated in the Wolf 359 standoff with the Borg in 2367.

As vast as there are member planets of the Federation, the number of temples and places of worship of various races and cultures can be found. There is not one defining belief of the colony cities, but rather developed by its citizens varied and vast beliefs. The only one true belief that’s share by the citizens of the Mars Colonies is from its historic “Fundamental Declaration of the Martian Colonies”, which emphasizes the individual rights of the citizens, regardless of their planet of origin. | As vast as there are member planets of the Federation, the number of temples and places of worship of various races and cultures can be found.
