Voice of Mars

The Voice of Mars was Mars' news broadcasting system during the Second Martian Revolution. It was entirely controlled by the Earth Defence Force, and was known for putting a pro-EDF spin on virtually every story. Initially, the broadcasts originated from the Voice of Mars Headquarters in Eos, north of the Martian Council. After Alec Mason and Samanya captured the building and used it to send out a Red Faction broadcast, the EDF began broadcasting from EDF Central Command.

Throughout the game, the Voice of Mars gradually updates with new information regarding current events in 2125, including events taking place on Earth that indicate the state that the planet is in.
