A very long time ago,around the time the planet Earth began to branch out across the Galaxy,a group of religous leaders began to take a special look at one planet none have yet claimed: Mars. It's climate is harsh,during the summer it would reach a cool 68*F at it's equator but during the winter,especially at night,temperatures can reach -238*F even at it's equator. The project was dubbed OPERATION: MARS and was meant to be a new world for this religon to operate without the restrictions of the rest of the galaxy. They had terraformed Mars only to were temperatures would be Earth like. If the rest of the galaxy was to take notice of this new world close to the homeworld was completly been terraformed they may settle there and overthrow the religous regime that is ruling there.
Despite the small amount of terraforming,they had made living on Mars habitable and had sent thousands of settlers there. For the first few decades all was well,that is,until one child was born different: Mutated into a strange creature. What the religous leaders didn't take into account was the small amount of radiation that was entering the atmosphere of the red world was causing birth mutations and genetic disorders. Not wanting anyone to find out,they had cut off all ties to the planet and halted all supplies to and fro. This has caused a most terrible impact on the millions who now live under the planet as it slowly begins to return into a dead world.
The radiation has caused two main mutations in the people there: They may be born looking like a normal person but may have a cyclopean eye with three distinct lenses and have one or more tentacles around his/her/it's body. That is but the first and less serious,with the second making them nothing more then looking like itelligent but monsteroius looking octopuses. Dispite this,they still share the same genetic code as humans,but inlight of their new appearances after centuries of mutations they have renamed themselfs: Martians,after their dying world.
Knowing that Humanity will never take them back,and knowing that Mars is dying,they are slowly accumalating a plan to retake their former homeworld and destroy who the decendants of those who never helped them in their time of need. They may be the dead colony of a religous sect,but that doesn't mean they must conform: All religon has been wiped from the planet. To them,the only god is science and technology. This has made them surprisingly advance for their time,but that is not all that is surprising.
When they began to move below the planet's surface,as the actual surface had been deemed uninhabitable,they have discovered a large cache of minerals and metalic alloys that surpass what current humanity has created. Their toughest metal,instead of Gundamanium,is Ferro-Fibrous: A sleek,silvery like metal. They have also found a large amount of heavy elements and for some reason copper,and lots of it.
Now that they have the means for warfare,they are slowly but surely joining their plans together as they watch humanity from afar,waiting for their oppertunity to strike.
