Mars Aboriginies

The first colonists of Mars and only ones to experience Mars as a world not covered in water, the Aborigines were meant to be the first phase colonizers of Mars until the flood that would cover Mars in water. After centuries had passed, Earth, believing that Mars was unpopulated, soon allowed another group of colonists to populate Mars. Instead, they found many descendants of the original colonists surviving there, having adapted to the planet. The second migration occurred around 200 years before the time of the series.
