	'''~~The Xenolife Foundation~~'''<br>		'''International Association for Xenology'''<br>
	The ~~Xenolife Foundation~~ was founded as an umbrella group covering numerous extraterrestrial conservation and biological science groups. Since then it has expanded in influence and prestige to become a major organisation devoted to the study and preservation of extraterrestrial life. Notably its stance is not wholly conservationist, and it has on several occasions endorsed or sponsored efforts to reverse natural decline and promote biodiversity, such as on Ares. The replication of biospheres by the Precursors has also been used to justify destructive investigation.		The International Association for Xenology (IAX) was founded in the early days of interstellar exploration as an umbrella group covering numerous extraterrestrial conservation and biological science groups. Since then it has expanded in influence and prestige to become a major organisation devoted to the study and preservation of extraterrestrial life. Notably its stance is not wholly conservationist, and it has on several occasions endorsed or sponsored efforts to reverse natural decline and promote biodiversity, such as on Ares. The replication of biospheres by the Precursors has also been used to justify destructive investigation.<br>

			IAX is also a sponsor of Velan studies.<br>

			'''The Footsteps Foundation'''<br>
			The Footsteps Foundation was established in the late 21st century by the will of an american businessman whose son became one of the Uploaded. Over the next century it supported and facilitated hyperanthropology and theoengineering across the sphere, and was a major sponsor and coordinator of Breakdown recovery efforts. Unfortunately after the end of the Breakdown the Footsteps Foundation has found itself branded a 'Core Organisation' by advanced ZOCU states eager to protect their technological advantage, and the science remains split.

	Luckily for the planet's inhabitants, the planetologists also confirmed commercially viable dust deposits and, more importantly, apparently abandoned posthuman fabricators. Charitable investment from the Xenolife Foundation funded the colonisation, with the stated goals of commandeering the local relic technology for humanity's use and the restoration of the planet's biosphere. Unfortunately, it was not to be. Local policy errors and Stauss-Kaserist governors exacerbated tensions between the augmented and unaugmented residents, which worsened until the government was seriously threatened and forced to call in external peacekeepers. And then the breakdown hit.

	The Breakdown~~, and the unity of effort it forced, caused a somewhat surprising improvement in relations between the baselines, transgenes and occupiers after~~ a period of ~~stresses and compromises~~. The coming of the Magnates ~~did the same~~, initially, and representatives of all factions agreed to Ares joining the League as a unitary member. The Magnates themselves however were not fooled by this show of unity, and exploited the divisions to support the transgenes against the other factions and divide opposition. Ares, which had been resisting quite ably with the presence of their legacy Core equipment, suddenly found itself divided and on the back foot.		The Breakdown produced a period of unpleasant internicine struggles as various groups sought control over the planet. The coming of the Magnates ended that, initially, and representatives of all factions agreed to Ares joining the League as a unitary member. The Magnates themselves however were not fooled by this show of unity, and exploited the divisions to support the transgenes against the other factions and divide opposition. Ares, which had been resisting quite ably with the presence of their legacy Core equipment, suddenly found itself divided and on the back foot.

	It wasn't fatal, either to interfaction relations or the war effort. But even today, after the dust has cleared, bitter memories of invasion, treason and oppression hamper efforts to turn the planet into a success like Sarreva.

	Ares was named for obvious reasons. The planet was remarkably similar to Mars, though larger, and with a significantly higher atmospheric pressure and oxygen content. More remarkable however were the forests and scrublands of red vegetation still clinging to life in some regions, and the small resilient fauna that milled around them. Observation confirmed fears. Humans had arrived at Ares just in time to watch it die as Mars itself had done so much longer ago.		Ares was named for obvious reasons.
