Imperium Mars Fillius (Mars Fillii) Description

[Zephyranthes]

“Ad astra, per aspera”
“To the stars, despite adversity”
-Latin proverb

Although most technology pales in comparison to that of Sirius, and especially Gallia, the Fillii have at least managed to make efficient use of Earth-era technology, and even develop some formidable weapons to use on the international stage. Their soldiers on the ground use advanced power armor, with each suit having a self-contained life support system, energy shielding, ammo rechargers, and networked HUD systems. They favor larger heavy machine guns, laser gatling guns, and explosive weapons that would be difficult to carry without the suits. Their training also tends to lean towards the use of melee weapons, using energy blades to make a point.

Their medical advances have made living life in the Imperium an easy thing, for those who can afford to be treated. Usually the highest medical care is reserved for patricians and the military, whilst plebeians must fend for themselves. Robotics have not advanced as significantly as Sirius, simply because the liberal use of slaves in the Imperium for hard labor has made automated work a useless endeavour. There has been experimentation with matter conversion to make production easier, though most experiments conducted have failed, and thankfully, they failed in such a manner that no explosions or dangerous side effects occurred.
