Martian Free Trade Union

The Martian Free Trade Union is a corporate union led by Paradigm and BioCorp. In direct ideological contrast to the Central Martian Government, its primary objectives are free trade throughout Mars free of regulation or taxation. The Union is backed by a military organisation known as the Corporate Defence Force (CDF), which is contributed to by all members. It has historically been at war with both the Central Martian Government and the Indian Offworld Colonial Administration over several matters, including resource shortages, access to the Cassini Space Elevator, and tariffs on goods.
