History

none of that is true

Terraforming project

Main article: Mars Terraforming Project

Considered by some the greatest engineering project in human history, the terraforming project is a driving force of Martian society, involving most of the population of Mars either directly or indirectly. However, it is implied that the project is in decline, due to younger generations of Martians becoming accustomed to living in domed settlements.

The project lost its priority status with the discovery of the ring network. Why go through all the hard work terraform Mars when there are hundreds of habitable worlds that already exist? The "gold rush" to claim new planets led to a significant portion of the Martian population leaving Mars removing a large amount of the planet's tax base and labor force.

The Martian culture of extreme efficiency that came from the terraforming project would eventually become the basis of the Laconian Empire.
