| - VERS Empire (ヴァース 帝国 Vuāsu Teikoku?) is a faction featured in the ALDNOAH.ZERO television series. The Vers Empire was founded on Mars by the First Emperor Rayregalia Vers Rayvers, and is the government that rules Mars. The humans who live there are referred to as Martians. The Vers are a nation that latches onto an archaic feudal system for ruling. Due to this, commoners are obsessed with proving themselves in battle to win social standing and attain nobility. For example, Harklight's lower class parents did everything they could to get Harklight into the prestigious Orbital Knights. For this reason, Harklight looked up to Slaine Troyard who, despite being Terran, rose from servant, to Knight, to Count. However, the nobility has been known to betray the commoners who rose through the ranks or assisted them. One example was the group of agents led by Wolf Areash, lower class Martians who were left on Earth after the First-Earth Mars War that were promised knighthood if they could assassinate the Princess Asseylum. After accomplishing their mission, however, they were massacred by Sir Trillram straight afterwards.
