Marshin Commonwealth

The ***Commonwealth of Mars*** was established originally as a religious planet that focused on the supremacy of the Beta-Marshins but this was eventually disregarded with the growing human population that could serve as a equal counter-part too the Alpha-Marshins who were the top species on the planet. The planet reinforces strict laws of segregation between desired classes.

## Era of Belief

Little is known of this period until 1345 when the first Bishops of Mars had found a method of using dark magic too bring alien life too the planet of Neptune. This life, was abducted from Earth over to Mars. The Bishops believed they had summoned demons and were insistent on keeping them alive and well as much as possible but also lacked the knowledge on how these beings would adapt too the life of Mars as they had done so poorly.

Years past where the Humans would evidently outnumber the Marshins and this caused a split believing that the humans were incapable of keeping up with the social advancement of the Marshins and had little regard for their way of life. This led too a clash of belief on Mars. With the classes of ***Cyclis***, the religion of love and fertility. Vowing that the human race needs too be guided by their emotions in order too live a sustainable life on the planet. Where as the religion of ***Forcement Heart*** had a strong policy of tolerance and they could no longer tolerate the Human race as a "equal" until they found a worthy code of conduct between the two species.

Little did the Marshins know that the Humans were slowly adopting to their language and social ques. This sense of ignorance let the humans on the planet know that their time was almost up and the only way they could survive was too decide on a religion. The Human race selected the religion of ***Forcement Heart***, which was the lowest believed religion on the planet outside of the aspect of fear and magical powers which brought the Human race too the planet. The Humans began too infest and control the religious house of ***Forcement Heart***.

Becoming the species that could equally oppose Cyclis in most cases. Both religions had one rule, never be the side that generates conflict. Cyclis' believers had broken this rule leading too the formation of what the side of ***Forcement Heart*** despites, the creation of a government or living god.

## The Religion War

In 1500 the believers of Cyclis had finally made their move and made several assassination attempts on the bishops of Forcement Heart leading too the unfortunate creation of the future Human Monarchy of Mars. The Government body had been building in the human minds of the planet since the growing social understanding of the two species. With the Marshins firmly standing by that the Humans would not be smart enough to compete with them past basic math. The first human government didn't align itself with Forcement Heart and played a purely neutral position. The

Marshins had the same mind establishing it's own monarchy, the monarchy of economics was introduced because of the organization the Human Monarchy had created. The biggest split in Marshin culture had been made, with the Monarchy of Labor and the Monarchy of Economics firmly made. The two sides of Religion had began to play it's part and declared a war on Forcement Heart followers. They didn't understand the magical properties of Forcement Heart and like their enemy. The Forcement Heart believers were not accustomed too the idea of urban warfare and were illprepared for the technological advancements that their opposition had.

The Religion War had carried over, the idea of Religion had slowly made both Monarchy's come too terms that no matter the odds that if these sides don't come down under a government control. Either by Humans or Marshins, then their planet is doomed. The dual monarchies had too establish a link. The Marshins understood how to do conventional warfare while the Humans had waged a series of victories in hit and run combat. The two monarchy's had come together too create the "*Association of Religious Pacification*" where the two sides had built up enough force to completely eradicate the religious believers. The Marshins had to pay the bill, while the Humans put in the labor in order too wage their war effectively.

By 1545, 45 long years of hit and run tactical warfare had reached it's conclusions and with that the Bishops of both ***Forcement Heart*** and ***Cyclis*** was suppressed successfully. The War of Religion had tested the metal of a united agreement between the two species and following this peaceful conclusion to a 4 decade conflict. The "monarchy's" had referred too themselves as the "House of Mars" and the "Monarchy of Humanity" between the two planet forces.

## Dual Monarchy

Following the war on Religion, Mars had to critically restrict how far in religion can play in Mars culture. The two monarchy's now ran effectively as a dual-monarchy the only one of it's kind in the galaxy unknowingly. Following centuries of peace, the laws of segregation between the species had come too a massive understanding that the grown adults are free to choose to be racist and or offensive if they wish. The children however are not allowed to be forced into such behavior, influenced indirectly by social construct or environments is one cause but not by force. This era introduced the terms "Beta" and "Alpha" Marshins, which was purely dependent on the type of species you were.

This era had introduced the family policy act. This policy system had made itself tough too fight back for the radicals of the planet who wanted nothing too do with these cultural changes. The system also introduced a "family hosting" service but due too the lowering rate of the Marshin population this agenda had too be put on hold. That no matter the choices of the planet. Family care is a universal agreement that both the Humans and Marshins formerly understand no matter the visual bias.

While it wasn't openly supported Humans and Marshins had come together and formed secret families together. Usually only accepted if one of the two already had a child due to their species being unable to reproduce effectively.

This also brought about a new take on how the two should co-operate technologically. It was becoming clear in-terms of IQ the Marshins and the Humans were on par but lacked the super powered courage too keep them in check. After years of development, Mars launched it's first public service mission into space. In 1702, Mars had begun the occupation of Ceres. The occupation had proved too be such a social success that the planet would slowly become a smaller Mars due too how populated very selective parts of the planet were. In order to maintain the legitimacy of this new addition to the Mars setting. Children of the Monarchy were used to test their authority on Ceres over the generations evidently they proved to prefer Ceres over Mars. Both Monarchies shared the concept of limiting their territory only to Ceres and divide it evenly, doing whatever possible to make sure the line of population on the planet was not absurd enough to earn reprisal or uprising for a independent planet.

## The First Galactic War

In 1993, Mars had officially made contact with aliens. Specifically the *Royal Plutonian Empire*, impressed by their army of Droids the Marshin Monarchies had considered their options and after some consideration. The reinstatement of the Human Armies was brought back into service after the Religion Wars. Along with that, came the technological advancements the Pluotnians had too give them. The then, Queen Kitsa and Joshua had negotiated War planning. Alla had informed Joshua that the aliens from the blue sun, is the planet Earth but

specifically the Planet Earth is nothing but inferior humans. The Human Monarchy had seen this sentiment with concern, as they had long understood that they can live at peace with other species'.

Other members of the Monarchy both Human and Marshin continued to think of their options in the case the conflict come too them. After reviewing the War reports that Pluto had offered them as well as a ambassador messege from Jupiter who recognized the official legitimacy of their planet. Mars was brought into the conflict on the side of the Droid Empire. In 1994 Mars had declared War on the Kid Army and it's allies. This war announcement had caught all the planets off-guard. With Mars on the side of the Empire. They implemented and immediately attempted to find a way to get the Droids as a member of their society reinforcing the old "Family plan" for dysfunctional families as war time comes the loss of families and mental health.

Mars was fully committed to the occupation of Earth and wanted no part in the occupation of Uranus, Joshua commented that the only reason Uranus is a target was because of their long lasting relationship with Pluto. With this, Marshin humans would replace the core-plutonian army in 1994. Making them the second most seen combatant type on the field along with Marshin built Droids that were noticeably more personality and morally driven then the Plutonian counter-part which were typically silent killing machines. The odds on the effectiveness of the Marshin Droids had become a issue with the Plutonians but understood their social benefits to Marshin society.

In 1997, Mars had claimed it's victory over Earth. Making it, it's colony. The Marshin population could not afford such a sudden change of living and left the occupation duties to the Humans who took it up humbly, while the other half of the Marshin forces were diverted over too the Uranian Front. Czar Joshua had declared the war on Earth over in 1998. With smaller resistance forces popping up until 1999. Mars had claimed the ultimate prize in this conflict.
