==Biography==
This whole place is going to hell. I knew Capek was trouble the minute I laid eyes on the freaky egomaniac. But he's Ultor's golden boy and no one listens to me. This complex is going to explode and I'll have to put the pieces back together. I'm gonna make sure Capek's caught in the blast.
The battalion's been in tough spots before and we can handle this one. If things go bad, Ultor security's going to get hit first. We'll let the miners work over the security guards while we dig in. The guards should buy us enough time to bunker down around the base's vital points. Once the miners crash against us and stagger back to lick their wounds, we'll counterattack in strength. Should have them crushed in a few days. Might be able to catch a bunch of those jackass guards in some friendly fire too, as a bonus.

Capek's gonna die for sure. That pompous ass just won't leave me alone. Calling and storming into my quarters. 'Protect my work,' 'Will not tolerate interruptions to my research,' 'Earn your pay, Masako,' etc., etc. As if this whole SNAFU wasn't all his fault in the first place. Serves him right if we let the miners rip through his labs and trash everything he's worked on for the last five years. Then I can shoot the half-cyborg bastard and blame the miners for it. They'll all be dead anyway.

This is my last contract. I can't take what passes for strategic thinking at Ultor anymore. It's not like the old days. Ten or 15 years ago, when Ultor called us in, it was to kill everything that moved. No police action, no sit-and-wait, no watching miners flip us off. Even five years ago, if someone had done that to a merc, we would've killed him and everyone who looked vaguely like him. This job is as low as I go. Ultor'll have to get someone else to lead the battalion.

I'm gonna go back to Earth when the dust settles here. London'll be my first stop. Not to stay, but for payback. I haven't been back since joining the Corps at 16, but I'm ready now. The old street scum have probably forgotten about me; they'll remember before they die. When I'm done in London, I'll find some other city to melt into. The streets can have me back, but on my terms this time.

Earth's about the only place in the Solar System I haven't killed for Ultor. Fifteen years of eliminating people for no clear purpose has burned me out. Rebellions, strikes, sick-outs, protests -- it didn't matter. If Ultor said they had to die, that was good enough for me. No more. My cord's pulled as tight as it can go. Another tug and I'm gonna snap.

When Ultor called us to Mars three months ago, I thought the execs had panicked. Now I don't know. It's going to get ugly down here. There's a tide rising that just might sweep Ultor's ass right off this planet. The security guards have held it back so far, but they won't last long when it breaks. We'll weather it though; we always have. Those miners are tough. With the right leadership they'll flatten the guards. But they don't stand a chance against my mercs.

I still don't know what Capek's been doing, but he's responsible for all the missing miners, somehow. I don't know if the miners have figured it out yet, but I'm going to get it out of him before I kill him. He's the most arrogant SOB I've ever let live. Tells me I have no need to know what's going on. I'm supposed to just protect his pencil-necked eggheads from the mobs when they come around. Fat chance, implant-boy.

Staying within the chain of command does no good either. DepAdmin Gryphon's supposed to be Ultor's direct link to us. But he's scared about something, more scared than I've ever seen anyone outside a firefight. Don't know if it's Capek, the miners, or this whole damn mess, but he's a basket case. Every time I talk to Gryphon about Capek, he shrivels up like I dumped a bucket of ice down his shorts. He won't cross Capek and he won't pass my complaints to the Admin. I'd happily leave bootprints on Gryphon's face on my way to see the Admin, but he's even more of a jellyfish than Gryphon.

When this thing blows up, I'm not wasting my troops protecting their butts. I'm not losing a single soldier to save some egghead or Admin puffball. We're hunkering down and digging in. When we come out, everyone who's not a merc is gonna die. We're getting off this rock alive, even if no one else is."

==Biography==
''Growing up, I never heard anything negative about [[Ultor]]. Mom and Dad gave their lives to the corp, in more ways than one. They blamed the Plague on bad luck, a Martian virus, bad air -- anything but Ultor. When you're in the belly of the beast, you shy away from wondering if it has your best interests in mind.
They wanted to keep me out of the mines in the worst way. They pushed me to excel at my studies and glowed with pride at every achievement. As long as I did well in Ultor's schools, I could stay out of the mines. If my grades dropped, I'd be down in the tunnels with my parents. It was good motivation.

I took all the tech courses I could. Not just the mechanical stuff that Ultor pushed on all of us, but compsci, physics, chemistry -- everything they'd let me into. It was a world beyond the gritty, machine-oil-and-red-dust place I lived in every day. My studies took me above all that.

Ultor had me pegged for a technician slot from the time I was 12 years old. They claimed tests showed I didn't have the aptitudes for more advanced studies. I never believed that they told the truth about the test results. It was all so easy for me. When they stopped letting me into certain classes, I just borrowed the tapes from someone who was allowed into the classes. I suffered through the mechanical and applied courses during the day, but I lived for my nighttime studies.

That was when I first realized that Ultor's rules could be bent, even broken. This opened a whole new world for me. I started looking for ways around their regulations. The deeper I got into my clandestine compsci studies, the more I wanted to start hacking into Ultor's systems. I knew I had to be careful though. I'd seen what happened to people who got caught breaking the rules. One of my best friends when I was little was Danny Curtis. He was born on Mars, too. When we were nine, his Dad supposedly stole something from the machine shop where he worked. He got caught and the whole family just disappeared overnight. The supervisor of the apartment complex said that they'd been sent back to Earth. I was young, but I wasn't stupid. I could tell my parents didn't believe her either, but they looked at each other and at me and didn't say anything.

So when I started hacking, I made sure I wouldn't get caught. I broke into unimportant systems, like the lock controls for our apartment. I cracked the code for that after a few nights' effort and then amused myself for a week messing with it. I'd change the keylock combo just before my parents came home and monitor the system while they uselessly punched in the keycode a few times. Then I'd trigger it after they'd given up, and the door would slide open. I started to feel guilty after the first few times I did it, though. My parents were so worn out after eight hours in the mines that they barely had the energy to open the door, let alone puzzle out why the lock was acting up.

I wormed my way into other systems for our apartment, too. Within a few days, I could make the lighting, climate control, and cooking subsystems do anything I wanted. I didn't do it while my parents were around, though. Too much frustration in their lives already.

It took me a long time to get up the courage to crack a system outside our apartment. I kept picturing Danny and his family. I finally screwed up my nerve and started to hack into the grading records for our complex's school. I figured security would be pretty lax there, all things considered. It took me about two weeks of cautious trial and error, but I finally got in. I made sure I just looked around, didn't mod anything, and got out quick. When no one came knocking at our door over the next few days, I went back in and made some small changes to test scores for a couple of my friends. I was afraid to do more, as the teachers might notice.

That was the start of what makes my life here tolerable. For years, I stayed within the boundaries Ultor set for me. I took all the courses they felt a mid-level technician needed. When I finished the tech program at age 15, they put me to work in the robot maintenance division, working on bot electronics. For the past 10 years, I've worked long and hard at it, rising from maintenance to SciLab support and now to security technician.

All that time, my real work has gone on at home. One of the first subsystems I looked for was Ultor's snooper/tracker programs. By watching them work, I figured out how to avoid detection on my nightly forays. They're not that smart, so it wasn't hard. I learned to mask my terminal's network ID and to slip in and out of nodes across the complex. I felt safer then and began to explore farther. I cracked hundreds of Ultor systems, never touching data or code, never leaving a trace (at least I hope not). Over the years, I've broken into almost every important system in the mining complex.

The exceptions are certain areas within the SciLabs' computer subnetwork and the medical facility subnetwork. All files within these areas are surrounded by incredible security and layers of complex encoding. When I first encountered the SciLab section of the network, over two years ago, I took one look at its cocoon and immediately broke contact. It scared me to death. Every three months or so since, I get up the courage to probe the SciLab or medfac subnets again, but I've always been scared off by the thought of finally getting caught. I’m not even sure I really want to see what's inside anyway. I've got a bad feeling about it.

Those network sections are under the personal security of Dr. Capek, the head of Ultor's Science Labs. I used to see him every so often, lurching through the labs, when I worked in the SciLab tech support division. He's the scariest person I've ever met. He looks like he's half robot, with implants all over his body. I think most of my fear of the SciLab subnet centers on running into Capek, even in a virtual arena.

Everything I've discovered during my explorations is in my head. Mom once found notes I had written and asked me about them. I convinced her they were for a computer systems class, but it taught me a valuable lesson. Just as I was careful not to leave a trace in the virtual world of Ultor's computer network, so I also couldn't afford to leave physical evidence in my apartment or workplace—no password lists, notes, or records of any kind.

For years, I've existed in two worlds. The physical world that I share with everyone else here is the daily drudgery of this hellish mining complex. But the virtual world of Ultor's computer net is mine alone. I've never talked about it with anyone, and I've never spotted another human presence among the autonomous programs that run the complex.

The irony of my current position doesn't escape me. Here I am, a security technician, entrusted with observing and maintaining a roomful of security monitors and data analysis equipment. I can watch activity in dozens of areas throughout the mining complex. I can also switch a monitor to show the view through any miner's helmetcam, giving me a choice of thousands of mobile cameras. And yet, I might be Ultor's single greatest security risk.

With what I know about the systems here, I could probably bring the entire mining operation crashing down. But they'd be sure to find me then, and I don't even want to think about that. I can help out anyone who wants to fight Ultor, though, whatever I can do without much risk. Maybe keep the rebels one step ahead.

There are some miners who're willing to start a revolt against Ultor. The one making the most noise right now goes by the codename Eos. Her group has been posting flyers urging miners to rise up against Ultor.

I know who Eos is. Worse yet, Ultor knows too. That's how I found out—by looking through Ultor security files. I want to warn her, to tell her that Ultor's on to her and is biding its time for some reason. But I can't bring myself to contact her; I can't risk exposure. They're watching her and they might catch me.

So I sit and watch too, hoping things turn out OK. I've been watching for years now, as things slowly fall apart, as the miners and Ultor get closer and closer to a final confrontation.

That's the way I've always dealt with the world—by sitting and watching. Even when my parents died. They both seemed like they'd live and work forever. One day, a little over a year ago, we had just finished dinner when Dad started shivering and twitching, more violently every second. He flopped onto the floor before Mom or I could reach him. His face was bulging and stretching like it was made of rubber. Lumps were moving around under his clothes too. Mom freaked out. I called the medics, but he was dead before they got here. They said it was the Plague and had no idea what caused it.

I'd heard of the Plague, of course. Lots of people on Mom and Dad's shifts had been hit over the last few years. It always struck suddenly. Sometimes the victim died within minutes and sometimes he was still alive when the medics took him away. None of the miners taken away ever came back, so I'm pretty sure they died too.

After Mom got over the shock of Dad's death, she got mad, really mad. Dad had been in for his annual checkup at our section's medical facility just a week before and she thought they should have found it then. She railed on and on, night after night, about the medics' incompetence and how they could have cured him of the Plague. She went in for her annual four months later and came back ticked off all over again. Turns out she gave them a piece of her mind the whole time she was in there. Three weeks after that, my supervisor came into the monitoring room and told me Mom had collapsed in the tunnels and died before they could get her to a medfac.

My annual checkup is in two weeks; I'm not going.

Since Mom's death, I've gotten bolder about probing the subnet defenses. I'm not going to sit around and watch things happen anymore. I don't care as much now if I get caught. There's nowhere near as much to lose. The apartment's so empty with just me here.

Sometimes, late at night, I wonder if what happened to my parents was my fault, somehow connected to my journeys into the computer net. In the light of day, it seems ridiculous, but I can't shake the feeling. Maybe something worse is going to happen to me if I don't stop.

When people whisper about escaping [[Mars]] and going back to [[Earth]], I can't picture it. I don't want to leave; I want Ultor to leave. When I tell that to my friends, they either laugh or get scared that someone might overhear. Everyone's been brainwashed that Mars is Ultor and Ultor is Mars. When I think of not knowing why my father died on our kitchen floor, or my Mom out in the mines, I can imagine Mars without Ultor. I'm starting to believe it's worth dying for.''

==Biography==
I can't believe how stupid I was. Yeah, 'Come to Mars, Help Make a New World!' How could I have believed that crap? I remember laughing at that stuff with my friends. We'd drive up to Chicago and do the big city. We could always tell we were in the wrong parts of town when we started seeing prop-balloons floating over the streets, blaring out corporate BS. You'd hear incredible lies from the Army, [[Merc]] Corps, PDNC, [[Ultor]] -- all the big orgs that wanted to put warm bodies in bad places. You wondered who'd buy those lines and sign up. Now I know.
Jake, you could see doing it. He signed up for the Navy right out of high school. He had no choice, really. When you barely make it out of HS and there aren't any jobs, you take what they offer you. He's on a Navy cruiser out in the Belt somewhere, last I heard. It's like the Wild West all over again, he says. Prospectors, claim-jumpers, company goon squads, you name it. Life's cheap out there and it's a seller's market. He'll end up sucking vacuum before his tour's over.

I always thought I was different, better than most. Mom and Dad -- Dr. and Dr. Parker, if you please -- had my life all scoped out. Private schools, tutors, prep school, Ivy League for undergrad, then grad school and on to a glittering career in academia. They had me running their little maze. Lots of twists and turns, but only one way it could possibly end up. Who'd have thought their lab rats would be the only ones to reach the cheese?

I just couldn't take it anymore. Never being able to separate what I really wanted from what they'd trained me to want. Not knowing where I began and they ended. No achievement was praiseworthy. When the acceptance letter from Harvard came, they took it like no big deal, just an expected turn in the maze. I went nuts. I ripped up the letter and stormed out of the house, hardly able to see straight. I wanted to do something that wasn't another item to mark off on their progress chart. Signing up for [[Ultor]]'s mining operations on Mars sure fit that bill. I drove downtown, saw one of their recruiting offices, and it just clicked.

It was like my brain was running on autopilot. I walked into the office and it all went so smooth and fast. The whole place was designed to ooze inside your head and let you know Mama [[Ultor]] was gonna take good care of you. Thick, neutral carpeting, bland, gently curving walls, soft lighting, a friendly helper to lead you through the whole process. If Hell opened a tourism office downtown, they'd do it just like that. Maybe they already have.

I was still in a daze when they took me to the shuttle and strapped me into a shallow indentation in the floor. There were dozens of other new recruits in the passenger compartment, all cocooned into dents of their own. After the shuttle took off for Mars, I finally snapped out of it. When freefall hit, I unbuckled and dodged floating globules of vomit (people, I realized, don't properly chew their food) and made it to the door relatively unscathed. I opened it, but before I could step out of the room, the toughest-looking guy I'd ever seen filled the doorway and told me to get back in or he'd rip me a new one. I stepped back inside and he slammed and locked the door.

Landing was another bad omen. Strapped into our dents, watching the puke blobs float around, wondering how many of them were going to land on you, hoping they hit the people to either side of you instead. The sounds and smells of planetfall were beyond description. It was a good introduction to life in the mines.

We were herded out of the ship and into the new arrival processing area. I've got to hand it to [[Ultor]] -- they let you know your place in the food chain right away. We were shoved into a tile-floored chamber, told to strip and then fire-hosed from sprayers in the walls and ceiling. People were flopping all over the floor. Once we were thoroughly soaked, stunned, and disinfected, they issued us uniforms. Mine didn't fit right; no one's did. Someone tried to return his and get a different size. He was beaten by security guards and dragged away to the infirmary. The rest of us just huddled a little smaller and went where they told us to.

The barracks are a nightmare. Narrow bunks are stacked in dank rooms, trash litters the floor, graffiti covers the walls -- every horror story I'd ever heard of worker barracks has come to life. Turns out everyone shares a bunk with another miner. He sleeps while you work and you sleep while he works. The other eight hours, I guess the bed lice get a rest. It's pretty gross, but you get used to it. I don't even want to think about the trough urinals and communal showers.

Drugs spread like mold in the barracks. It's hard not to give up in this place. Tossing in the towel and paying for a few hours of oblivion really appeals to some. Giving up's not for me, but lots of the people who arrived with me are already half brain-dead. [[Ultor]]'s gotta know about it, maybe they even get a cut. Zombied-out workers don't complain as much, so I can see [[Ultor]] having a hand in it.

The only good thing about the work is that it gets you out of the barracks. Those envirosuits are hot as hell to spend eight-hour shifts in, though. To make it extra nice, three workers share each suit, one per shift. The suit's sweaty, hot, and smelly when you climb into it, and it's worse when you climb out. They spray them down between shifts, but it doesn't do much good. Once you're down in the mines, it's pure grunt work. Smashing rock out of walls, trying to follow a vein of [[noachite]] when your faceplate's all fogged up from the humidity inside your suit, stupid bots ramming into you when they grab chunks of ore -- I'm surprised more miners don't go berserk during their shifts.

I don't know why [[Ultor]] has human miners doing this. It's gotta be cheaper to have bots do it, and they certainly have enough bots. I've asked around, but no one knows. Most don't seem to want to think about it, maybe figuring they'd be out of jobs if [[Ultor]] decided to use bots. Or maybe they're just too zoned-out or discouraged to care. There's something soul-draining about doing a job that doesn't seem important. There's a cancer here, eating away at us, hollowing us out from the inside.

Seems like everything that can go wrong around here does. Everyone's at the breaking point. Fights are erupting all the time. A guy got knifed yesterday in my barracks. The argument started over nothing, escalated into shouting and pushing, a blade came out, and then the guy bled to death right on the floor. The guards didn't even investigate. It seems to be happening a lot lately.

We're scared and angry. It's not just the fights or the work or the living conditions. Something else is happening to us, beating us down. Miners are getting sick. Not flu-sick but something worse. Every day, dozens of miners collapse, in the mines and in the barracks, without warning. One minute they're fine, the next they're on the ground, writhing in pain or sometimes unconscious even before they hit the floor. And there's something wrong with their faces too. They seem puffy or stretched. Some say that they've seen sick miners whose faces are bulging or pulsating. People call it the [[Plague]]. Everyone's on the verge of panic.

[[Ultor]] denies there's any problem. First they said that it was just a stress response on the part of weaker individuals. When everyone got done laughing and then screaming about that one, they came up with a new rationale. They now claim that it's a Martian virus, infecting miners by some unknown means. That scared people; did [[Ultor]] think we'd be reassured to hear that there's something in the air that's killing us? There were riots in a few of the barracks after hearing that. [[Ultor]] claims they're doing everything they can to combat the virus. Their doctors and technicians are all over the barracks and even in some of the mines, giving everyone shots and pills. They say that their efforts are all that's keeping the virus from killing a lot more.

Lately, there've been pamphlets slapped up on the barracks and cafeteria walls. They're calling for miners to go on strike against [[Ultor]], to refuse to work. Some of the flyers even urge us to attack the guards, to get back at them for all the years of mistreatment. No one knows who writes them. The pamphlets are signed '[[Eos]].' Some say it's the name of a group; some say it's the name of a woman who's trying to stir up the miners.

The security guards tear down the pamphlets as soon as they see them, but the damage has already been done. Dozens of people read them. In a few hours, hundreds of miners are talking about the latest pamphlet. People are grumbling, glaring at guards, and openly muttering about a strike or worse. It gets uglier every day.

I don't know what to think or do. I just want to get out of here alive, somehow. Harvard sounds better all the time.

==Legacy==
In [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]], the region called [[Tharsis]] is separated into 6 distinct sections, one of which is named [[Parker(Settlement)|Parker]], after the main character in the original Red Faction.

<spoiler>Also in [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]], an aged Parker (approximately 70) may be found sitting on a chair outside a building near the [[Mohole]], in [[the Badlands]] sector of [[Tharsis]]. He wears mining clothes and a hat with a light on it, and has a large, bushy black beard, but it can be seen from closer inspection of the man's face that it is indeed Parker. Upon waiting around, he says a number of lines, further implying that he is Parker:
* "You ever tried to disable a laser defense system.... from space? Nahh, didn't think so!"
* "You think you're oppressed? Them [[EDF]] ain't nothing next to [[Ultor]]. They had us jammed eight to a room, time-sharing bunks... bet you never worked a ten-hour shift in your life!"
He also refers to "That bitch Colonel [[Masako]]" and "a crazy bastard like [[Capek]]".

This contradicts what Commander [[Hugo Davies]] tells you in the "[[Ultor]] Echo" mission, "Parker's dead."</spoiler>

Earth Defense Force

[[Image:EDFLogo.jpg|250px|right|thumb|The EDF logo]]
The [[Earth]] Defense Force (EDF) is one of the few elements from the first [[Red Faction]] that has remained with the series into [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]].

==Red Faction==
In Red Faction, [[Parker]] calls in the EDF to take control of [[Mars]] away from [[Masako]]'s [[Mercenaries|mercenaries]] and [[Ultor]]'s guards. The game ends with the EDF broadcast "This facility is now under the command of the Earth Defence Force. Drop your weapons immediately. All armed personnel will be shot on sight."

==Red Faction II==
In [[Red Faction II]], the nanotechnology developed by [[Capek]] was claimed by the EDF. With this advanced level of military technology, the EDF reorganized the [[Ultor]] Corporation with a particular focus on enhanced supersoldiers and suitable weaponry.

==Red Faction: Guerrilla==
At the end of the first Red Faction the Earth Defense Force came in and helped the [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]] beat [[Ultor]] and rid Mars of them. Instead of leaving once the job was done the EDF stayed on Mars and over the 50 years they have gone from being the liberators of Mars to the new oppressors. In fact they are worse than [[Ultor]]. The people of Mars do not have any rights, are beaten in the streets by EDF officers, and live in complete misery. Finally having enough of the oppression, once again the miners have called up the name of [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]] and have started a guerrilla movement against the EDF to push them off the planet and liberate the people. The EDF is the main antagonist in [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]].

==After RF:G==
It is unknown what is to become of the EDF after the events of Red Faction: Guerrilla.

Earth Defence Council

2009-06-23T11:10:52Z

Matt98:

The '''Earth Defence Council''' is the main governing body over [[Earth]] and [[EDF|her military]].

==History==
Not much is known of the EDC, but it is sure that it is responsible for running the [[EDF]] and ensuring resource extraction efforts on [[Mars]].

The EDC was most likely formed during the 2050's, the presumed era the Earth Defence Force was formed, and ensures that all citizens living on Earth, live a pleasant life, but it is possible that the EDC is hiding a number of secrets from the general populace, such as the treatment of colonists on [[Mars]], both in the years of [[Red Faction|2075-78]] and [[Red Faction: Guerrilla|2128]].

Matt98:

[[Image:Hydra.jpg|350px|right|thumb|The Hydra heading toward [[Mars]]]]
The '''E.D.S Hydra''' is a warship in [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]]

==Role==
Following the [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]]'s destruction of an [[Earth Defense Force]] base in [[Tharsis]], The EDF's [[Admiral Lucius Kobel]], Commander of the Fleet, deploys '''The Hydra''', a massive warship towards [[Mars]]. Stocked with fearsome weaponry and thousands of hardened reinforcements, the Hydra's mission is to crush the revolution... even if it means annihilating every man, woman and child on Mars.

==History==
During the events of [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]], the Hydra was proclaimed by the [[Earth Defence Council]] and indeed the [[EDF]] as the largest ship ever built. With the most effective weapons capable of destroying enemies from orbit with particle based weaponry, which posed a massive threat to the [[Red Faction (Rebellion)|Red Faction]].

==Demise==
After the [[Red Faction (Rebellion)|Red Faction]] allied with the mysterious [[Marauders]] captured the [[Nano Forge]], planning to use it against the Hydra. Using the Nano Forge to disintergrate the Hydra, which by the time they were ready to fire the Nano Forge. The Ship was ready to deploy [[Omega Legion]], the Hydra was destroyed within minutes, humiliating [[Earth]] and liberating [[Mars]].

Nano Forge

2009-06-22T14:07:20Z

Matt98:

Nano Forge is an experiment created by using Nano Technology, used and tested for deconstructing enviroment. [[Ultor]] tested Nano Forge on many things, Nano Forge contains mini-nanobot nanites, that eat away enviroment and/or any lifeform it touches. [[Ultor]] injected this experiment into a weapon, and formed their creation known as the [[Nanorifle (RFG)|Nanorifle]]. After the [[Ultor]] Corporation's defeat, the [[Nanorifle (RFG)|Nanorifle]] was salvaged in most of the collapsed labs of [[Ultor]] by the [[Earth Defense Force]]. In 2128, the [[Ultor]] [[Nanorifle (RFG)|Nanorifle]] was captured and used by the [[Red Faction (Rebellion)|Red Faction]], during the [[Red Faction (Rebellion)|Red Faction]] - [[EDF]] war. Nano Forge should be used with care, as it can even kill it's user very easily.

This sector has the traditional Mars look people would expect from the red terrain to the orange sky. The buildings look as though they were made using whatever scraps of material could be found, be it parts of space craft to panels from cargo crates.

Parker is one of the six regions contained within the martian area of [[Tharsis]].

Matt98:

The Red Faction is the rebel group which you are a part of in [[Red Faction]] and [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]]. The Red Faction is a workers union established by the working class of [[Mars]] under the opression of the [[Ultor]] Corps. and currently serves as as a freedom fighting guerrilla group agaisnt the opression of the [[Earth Defense Force]].

==[[Red Faction]]==
The Red Faction was first formed in 2075 after [[Eos]] and a few other miner groups began to make preparations for the revolt against [[Ultor]]. Over the next few years the group secretly gained momentum during which time it was known to Ultor guards as a team for the 'miner olympics'. By 2078 the Red Faction revealed itself as rebel group. Ultor then hired [[Masako]] and her mercenaries to put an end to the revolution. [[Parker]] fought his way through the mines and called for assistance from the [[Earth Defense Force]]. Once the EDF had eliminated all remaining [[Ultor]] guards and mercenaries, [[Mars]] was under [[Earth]] control.

==[[Red Faction II]]==
put info here - i know next to nothing about rf2

==[[Red Faction: Guerrilla]]==
The Red Faction was outlawed by [[EDF]] forces due to the fact it was determened to sabotage EDF mining efforts on the planet, which led to full-scale warfare on [[Mars|the planet]].

==After RF:G==
After the destruction of [[The Hydra]] in 2128, the Red Faction found itself the sole government of [[Mars]], and possibly the one organisation that is equal to the [[EDF]], not in technology, but in Guerrilla warfare.

Red Faction

2009-06-18T16:29:00Z

Matt98:

[[Image:RFLogo.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Red Faction Cover]]

Red Faction is the first game in the Red Faction series developed by [[Volition Inc.]] and published by [[THQ Inc.]]

==Introduction==
Red Faction takes place on [[Mars]] in the late 21st century, more specifically around the year 2078. Earth’s minerals are being depleted and humans need more of them to survive. The vast [[Ultor]] Corporation runs the [[Noachite]] mining operation on Mars. The living conditions are deplorable, human rights for the miners are few, and a disease called the [[Plague]] is running rampant throughout the colony, predominantly within the confines of the mine complex, with no known antidote available. You play the role of [[Parker]], a downtrodden [[miner]] taken in by the promises and advantages [[Ultor]] has to offer in the mines of [[Mars]]. After a routine day in the mine with the typical aggression toward miners and cramped living conditions and poor nutrition, he witnesses the spark that starts a rebellion. When a security guard abuses a miner at the end of his shift he heartlessly kills him. [[Parker]] takes up arms, with the help of Hendrix, a rebellious Ultor technician who guides [[Parker]] through the complex. [[Hendrix]] tries to get [[Parker]] to join up with a group of miners who are about to steal a supply ship and escape the complex. [[Parker]] arrives too late. The ship takes off but is destroyed by missiles.

[[Parker]] traverses through the Ultor complex, eliminating any resistance [[Ultor]] throws at him, and even kidnapping a high-ranking [[Ultor]] administrator, [[Gryphon]], for [[Eos]], leader of the Red Faction. [[Parker]] learns from [[Gryphon]] about Dr. [[Capek]], who created the [[Plague]]. [[Capek]] has been experimenting with [[nanotechnology]], and the [[Plague]] is a side-effect. [[Hendrix]] directs [[Parker]] to [[Capek]]'s secret underground laboratory, where he and [[Eos]] meet up and take down [[Capek]]. Before [[Capek]] dies, he tells [[Eos]] how to cure "[[The Plague]]". After sending a distress call to the [[Earth Defense Force]], [[Parker]] stows away on a shuttle to an [[Ultor]] space station in Martian orbit to deactivate a laser defense system.

After destroying the space station, [[Parker]] lands back on [[Mars]] via an escape pod, [[Ultor]] brings out its reserve of [[Merc|mercenaries]] to help them in their fight against the miners. [[Hendrix]] tells [[Parker]] that the [[Merc|mercenaries]] have orders to destroy the mining complex, covering up any proof of [[Ultor]]'s wrongdoing. After fighting his way through the [[Merc|mercenary]] base, [[Parker]] confronts [[Masako]], the [[Merc|mercenary]] leader. After he kills [[Masako]], [[Parker]] sees that [[Eos]] is tied up and sitting on the floor next to the bomb, which has been set to explode. After deactivating it, the [[Earth Defense Force]] arrives just in time to save [[Parker]] and [[Eos]] from an [[Aesir]]. [[Eos]] tells [[Parker]] that an antidote for the [[Plague]] has been made and it is being given to any sick [[miner]]s. She also tells him she is leaving [[Mars]], and that he should enjoy his new status as a hero.

==Description==
[[Volition Inc.]], the creators of the FreeSpace and Descent series, developed Red Faction, a game for PlayStation® 2, PC, and Macintosh. Framed by impressive features including an astonishing physics engine, controllable vehicles, intense graphics, kick-ass weapons, unique natural environments and a hugely involving storyline, Red Faction is a must-have title for serious gamers.

==Story==
As all [[Volition Inc.]] games do, Red Faction contains a hugely immersive storyline that will contribute highly to the game play. You are a miner named [[Parker]], toiling in the mines on Mars for a deceiving company known as [[Ultor]]. The conditions are worsening day by day, and there is talk of a rebellion. All the miners are suffering from a strange, deadly disease called the [[Plague]] that is suddenly sweeping through their ranks. The miners' anger and resentment are ready to boil over, and the player provides the spark that starts a rebellion against [[Ultor]]. The player's goal is to stay alive long enough to bring down [[Ultor]] and solve the mystery of the [[Plague]]. This journey takes him from gritty subterranean mines to [[Ultor]]'s pristine science and [[nanotechnology|nanotech]] labs to the surface of [[Mars]] and even onto satellites orbiting high above the planet.

==Geo-Mod==
Red Faction is the first and only series to feature [[Geomod]] technology. What if you could direct your weapons at walls and floors and put holes in them, reforming the 3d environment in real-time? Then you would have one awesome game. Red Faction will allow just that. Point your [[Rocket Launcher]] at a wall, and put a hole in it. It's all done on the fly, in real-time. The hole wasn't predetermined or defined, it was created and calculated as your rocket hit the wall. Now imagine the possibility for this. The ability to collapse buildings and destroy enemy cover, the ability to create cover, the ability to do just about anything you want.

==Features==
* [[Geomod(Engine)|Geomod]] Engine - the only FPS with real-time, arbitrary geometry modification
* Advanced physics simulation - supports falling geometry, particles and liquid
* Land, sea and air vehicles to commandeer and control
* A completely immersive and compelling storyline
* Stealth and action driven objectives
* Varied environments including natural settings unique to the genre
* Object shadow casting and more
* Advanced AI behavior in 20 dynamic 3D levels
* Real-time skeletal deformation and interpolation for silky smooth animations
* Location-based damage system
* [[RED|Proprietary level editor]] that is faster, easier and more advanced than any on the market
* Multi-player support for LAN and Internet

The Ultor Corporation is the mining company mainly operating on [[Mars]] you rebel against in [[Red Faction]] and the name of the company which is formed in [[Red Faction II]]. It is unknown whether Ultor plays a part in [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]] or not. The Ultor symbol has been spotted on propaganda in Red Faction: Guerrilla, and the [[Nano Rifle]] features an Ultor symbol.

Ultor began as a small-time clothing company, but worked its way up to being an enormous mega-corp, that eventually turned its attention towards Mars. In [[Volition Inc.|Volition]]'s Saints Row 2, Ultor owns the city of Stilwater.

Red Faction: Guerrilla

2009-06-17T19:05:41Z

Matt98:

Red Faction: Guerrilla is the third game in the Red Faction series developed by [[Volition Inc.]] and published by [[THQ Inc.]] Red Faction: Guerrilla has been in development for over 4 years as of September 2008.

==Plot==
Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on [[Mars]], 50 years after the events of the original [[Red Faction]] (around the year 2128). Players take the role of an insurgent fighter named [[Alec Mason]] with the newly re-established [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]] movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive [[Earth Defense Force]] (EDF - allies in the first [[Red Faction]]). Throughout their fight for freedom, players carve their own path, wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of [[Mars]], from the desolate mining outpost of [[Parker(Settlement)|Parker]] to the gleaming EDF capital city of [[Eos(City)|Eos]] to the [[Earth]]-like region known as [[Oasis]].

Utilizing improvised weapons, explosives and re-purposed mining equipment and vehicles, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to tear through fully destructible environments in an unforgiving Martian landscape swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire. Red Faction: Guerrilla also features a robust multiplayer component, including several modes focused on destruction-based gameplay.

Rick White revealed that most of the game will take place on the terraformed surface of [[Mars]], with some parts in other places such as the [[Ultor]] labs to pay homage to the first [[Red Faction]]. Not much else is known of the game’s plot.
==Multiplayer==
Red Faction: Guerrilla will feature online multiplayer as [[Red Faction]](PC) did. There is no cross-platform multiplayer, so gamers are limited to playing others on the same platform.

== Area ==
Red Faction: Guerrilla takes place on a section of Mars called [[Tharsis]]. Tharsis is made up of 6 sectors.

*[[Eos(City)|Eos]]
*[[Parker (Settlement)|Parker]]
*[[Dust]]
*[[Oasis]]
*[[The Badlands]]
*[[Fire Free Zone]]

==Platforms==
Red Faction: Guerrilla will be released in June 2009 on the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Cross-platform multiplayer will not be available. The PC version of Red Faction: Guerrilla will be available for purchase through Valve's '''Steam''' content distribution system[http://store.steampowered.com/app/20500/], as well as via retail.

[[Image:Ultornanorifle.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Nano Rifle]]
The Nanorifle is one of an unknown amount of weapons that will be available in Red Faction: Guerrilla when it is released.

==Description==
The Nanorifle shoots matter-eating swarms of nanobots that slowly disintegrate anything they come into contact with, be they structural supports or human beings.
---
The nanites created by the Nano Forge will deconstruct solid matter, like a wall, in seconds. The technology is highly advanced and the EDF wants it, so keep it safe.

Recommendation: Create a new entranceway into a building or take out a vehicle. Also, hit any enemy with a well placed shot to obliterate them.

==Properties==
*'''Ammo/Clip Size:''' 5
*'''Primary Fire:''' Semi-automatic deconstructing nanite beam
*'''Alternate Fire:''' Sideways Bash
*'''Pros:''' Each shot contains nanites that eat away at matter in a about a 5 feet radius of the epicenter of the hit, deteriorating walls and instantly killing human targets.
*'''Cons:''' Small ammo clip size for unupgraded version.
*'''Faction:''' [[Ultor]]

[[Image:Hydra.jpg|350px|right|thumb|The Hydra heading toward [[Mars]]]]
The Hydra is a warship in [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]]

==Role==
Following the [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]]'s destruction of an [[Earth Defense Force]] base in [[Tharsis]], The EDF's [[Admiral Lucius Kobel]], Commander of the Fleet, deploys '''The Hydra''', a massive warship towards [[Mars]]. Stocked with fearsome weaponry and thousands of hardened reinforcements, the Hydra's mission is to crush the revolution... even if it means annihilating every man, woman and child on Mars.

==History==
During the events of [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]], the Hydra was proclaimed by the [[Earth Defence Council]] and indeed the [[EDF]] as the largest ship ever built, with the most effective weapons cpable of destroying enemies from orbit with particle based weaponry, which posed a massive threat to the [[Red Faction (Rebellion)|Red Faction]].

==Demise==
After the [[Red Faction (Rebellion)|Red Faction]] allied with the mysterious [[Marauders]] captured the [[Nano Forge]], planning to use it against the Hydra, using the Nanotechnology to disintergrate the Hydra, which by the time they were ready to fire the Nano Forge, was ready to deploy [[Omega Legion]], the Hydra was destroyed within minutes, humiliating [[Earth]] and liberating [[Mars]].

Earth Defense Force

[[Image:EDFLogo.jpg|250px|right|thumb|The EDF logo]]
The [[Earth]] Defense Force (EDF) is one of the few elements from the first [[Red Faction]] that has remained with the series into [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]].

==Red Faction==
In Red Faction, [[Parker]] calls in the EDF to take control of [[Mars]] away from [[Masako]]'s [[Mercenaries|mercenaries]] and [[Ultor]]'s guards. The game ends with the EDF broadcast "This facility is now under the command of the Earth Defence Force. Drop your weapons immediately. All armed personnel will be shot on sight."

==Red Faction II==
In [[Red Faction II]], the nanotechnology developed by [[Capek]] was claimed by the EDF. With this advanced level of military technology, the EDF reorganized the [[Ultor]] Corporation with a particular focus on enhanced supersoldiers and suitable weaponry.

==Red Faction: Guerrilla==
At the end of the first Red Faction the Earth Defense Force came in and helped the [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]] beat [[Ultor]] and rid Mars of them. Instead of leaving once the job was done the EDF stayed on Mars and over the 50 years they have gone from being the liberators of Mars to the new oppressors. In fact they are worse than [[Ultor]]. The people of Mars do not have any rights, are beaten in the streets by EDF officers, and live in complete misery. Finally having enough of the oppression, once again the miners have called up the name of [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]] and have started a guerrilla movement against the EDF to push them off the planet and liberate the people. The EDF is the main antagonist in [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]].

==After RF:G==
It is unknown what is to become of the EDF after the events of Red Faction: Guerrilla.
