The following are the factions loyal to the planet Earth...
Terran Alliance - Originally formed to prevent a nuclear war, the Alliance decided to remain in power to help benefit all countries though unified leadership. They helped fund the original plasma reactors, as well as the Mars missions that lead to the colonization of the Red Planet.
Terran Armada - The fleet of starships that defend Terran and Martian airspace as well as patrol the rest of the Sol System.
G-Force - Short for Genome Force, an independent military of cybernetically enchanced super soldiers. They take on assignments off-world mostly, but are occasionally called in to put down potential wars between nation-states in the Alliance.
Colonial Marines - Traveling aboard the Martian Defense Fleet, the Colonial Marines are trained to fight in extreme conditions on the harsh surface of Mars and it's moons. Although pure in motive, Martians see them and their accompanying fleet as a weight against their independance.

The following factions are allied with the planet Mars...
The Republic of Mars - the eleven Martian Colonies united to form the main government of Mars. They have a small security force, but no standing army. The Martian Senate, a body of 55 members (5 from each Colony) rule over the colonies, who maintain prosperity though mineing and production of starships above the planet. The resources of Mars are traded with those of Earth, keeping a bond between the Republic and the Alliance, but the constant military presence from the Alliance bothers many Republic citizens about the true motives of the Earth government.
Brotherhood of Freedom - a group of rogues and pirates who use modified civilian freighters to perform hit and run attacks on Alliance starships. They proclaim that by relying on Earth for support, Mars denys itself true independance. Their base is believed to be somewhere in the Asteroid Belt, and they are rumored to have seats in the Martian Senate.
Sons of Sedonia - a group of religious idealists who live in the Martian Wastes in the ruins of Sedonia, a mysterious city built by an unknown civilization. It is unknown what they do there, but are left alone because their actions bother no one.

These factions are either not allied with anyone of or alien origin...
Followers of the Ica - the Ica Stones, said to depict the life of an ancient and powerful people, are the subject of worship from psychics lead by the enigmatic trillionare Rudolph Jenson, who purchased the stones from the Peruvian government. They believe these people predicted that the world will come to be ruled by primal titans, and Godzilla's appearance in the 1950's and Mothra in the 1960's warrents these claims.
The Mu - the warship Moonlight, flagship of the Terran Armada, sighted a mysterious object in Jovian orbit. Similar sightings of this ship, an arrowhead shaped piece of Earth with a ghostly white aura, continued for three years from 2085 to 2088. Believeing it to be of intelligent origin, scientists dubbed this hypothesised race the "Mu" after the writings of Churchward's lost civilization in the 1800's. There have been no sightings since.
Imagos - a race of moth-like entities, they seem to exist one adult moth at a time. Discovered on a remote island in the Pacific in the 1960's, they attacked the United States to get back their twin preistesses. Since then they have aided humanity since then, they are on a good standing with the Terran Alliance.
