Mars

Ah, the eponymous red planet. The only other planet in the Milky Way to house lifeforms that have traveled through the gateways, and the only one nearly as habitable as Earth itself. While it was a planet of interest - especially for the humans - in the past, any attempts at exploration or colonization have since been halted by the planet's violatile alien race, the Martians. Its gateway has been closed for a few thousand years with no sign of ever opening again and for good reason; the Martians are a terrifying race, and one wrong step can cause the obliteration of an entire race. It's true; it almost happened.

Facts about Mars

 * Mars and the space surrounding it was the site of the Lost War that took place between the martians and terrans about 2000 years ago. It is called the Lost War because thanks to the advanced state of martian weaponry, most of the terrans were wiped out with no trace of bodies, and although the martians technically won and got to keep their planet to themselves, they are now confined to their planet and treated with extreme prejudice.
