INHABITANTS
Race: Martians (dominant race)
Roughly cephaloid/octopus like creatures originated from Mars. Most of their large bear-sized body is made out of their brain tissue with only minimal space for their heart and digestive systems. Under Mars's gravity they were magnificent creatures stalking proudly over the lands with their eight tentacle-legs. Under the Earth's much higher gravity though they became sluggish beings requiring mechanical aid to move other than pitifully crawling on the ground. Since they lack proper digestive systems the Martians live by siphoning nutrients from other creatures through their blood. For this purpose they have a large beak surrounded by eight small tentacle-like stingers to pump out blood from their victims within minutes. The Martians are incapable of speech and instead their huge brains allow them to communicate between each other via telepathy. When they must communicate with other species the Martians use Thralls, terron slaves wired up with a device which interpret their telepathic waves. After listening to the message of its masters the thrall then speaks them out in a language so others can understand. It's also theorized that similar telepathic controls are employed to operate the Martians' complex machinery.
Terrons (collective name used to refer to any sentient races native to this planet)
This is a collective term calling any inhabitants of the planet Martians simply refer as Terra (Earth). Humans, elves, catpeople they are all the same in Martian eyes which view themselves as superior. On a more narrow term Terron is generally referring to their slaves. Terrons live in their own communities and have their own semblance of government but they effectively live to serve the Martians. To ensure this they are implanted with pain-givers, a device which responds to Martian telepathic signals with excruciating electric shocks to punish any Terron daring to disobey them. Removing these pain-givers is difficult and would likely kill the victim thus once a Terron born a slave he or she will die as a slave. Outwardly the Terrons have normal lives but they do so in constant fear of their cephaloid overlords.

Weaponry:
Large camera-like device holding a hi-purity viridgen reaction chamber of absolute non-conductivity. When activated this weapon releases a searing ray of often invisible light which can ignite flesh and wood and cause massive burns. Due to its complexity this weapon cannot be scaled down to be carried by infantry and it's mounted exclusively on Martian warmachines. Heat-rays are dreadful and can be quite devastating in battle albeit much less effective on well-protected non-flammable targets like castle walls, steam tanks and armored warships (albeit sustained attacks can bear results). The heat-ray's generator is highly volatile and it'd violently explode if suffers damage.
Thick almost powder-like toxic gas which the Martians deploy for mass-murder. Their composition is variable but their uniting factor is that the Black Smoke is dangerous to most Terrons while harmless to Martians (partially because they don't breathe air). Black smoke is either sprayed from pressurized tubes or spread from cannisters lobbed by bombers and artillery.
Using electricity for centuries even before invading this planet the Martians have knowledge of electromagnetic propulsion like no other. These electric cannons are relatively cheap albeit also weaker than most guns. As such they are mostly used as artillery to lob explosives or black smoke cannisters over long distance.
Numbers:
Infantry: None, at times they deploy slaves armed with primitive weapons as cannon fodder
Vehicles:
Large cylindrical body (10m diameter) with bulbous green-tinted canopy cockpit at the center walking on 3 tentacle-like legs for the total height of 30m. The original Fighting-Machines are imposing and powerful, built of an exotic lightweight metal only found on Mars. Their main body is resistant to any but the heaviest cannons albeit the legs and the canopy are susceptible to any sufficiently large caliber gun (light field artillery and upwards). Fighting-Machines also mount the original Heat-Rays with better materials and more precise construction allowing it to exert maximal power. Lastly, Fighting-Machines are immensely fast and can outrun even an express train at full power. Unfortunately the resources to make these machines are lost thus they posses onl 24 of these mighty vehicles which they use very sparringly.
Fruit of the Martians' century-long research to build tripods out of Terrestrial materials. The latest product is Fighting-Machine #123 which is roughly 12 meters tall and 4 meters wide made almost exclusively out of aluminium. This machine is fast, capable of outpacing horses on full gallop albeit vulnerable to artillery of any kind. Its main armament is of course a Heat-ray which is decently powerful albeit inferior to the ones mounted on the original Fighting-Machines.
