Martian society has low tolerance for mutants and hermaphrodites, and even hybrid species are sometimes frowned upon. However, [[belter]]s are well tolerated due to Mars's long-standing connections with the asteroid mining industry. | Martian society has low tolerance for mutants and hermaphrodites, and even hybrid species are sometimes frowned upon.

| ====== Mars Today ====== |
| |
| These days, Mars is a fascist "technocracy" dominated by Omicron Industries (OI), though [[Designer Genes]] have made a grab for power in recent years. In the last five years, following a failed coup attempted by the now-deposed Martian Enforcers, Omicron has formed a new space navy. Under the control of the Martian Chancellor and the CEO of Omicron, Zirik Dagokai, civil defense responsibilities are shared by OI and the Amundsen Police Department. All street tunnels, public venues and private homes are subject to government surveillance. Police checkpoints and random searches are part of a citizen's daily commute from [[Sagdeev Terminal]] to [[Amundsen City]].Meanwhile in spite of these constraints, the average Martian reports a great deal of personal satisfaction -- perhaps on account of the colony's ever-growing wealth. Technology and genetics remain dominant industries. |
