The Martian Atmosphere and Roach Suitability (M.A.R.S) Ranking is a ranking system developed to create an efficient chain of command and also denote the officers for the Annex I mission. The higher ranked members were essentially the frontline against the Terra Formars. Mission Plan Alpha called for the highest ranked members to form a defensive perimeter around the Annex I research ship while lower ranked members conducted research inside the ship on the A.E. Virus affecting Earth.

Serious Rankings[]
Guidebook Mars File gave the top part of the Mars Ranking that takes into account the actual abilities of the Chinese, thus reflecting their official ranking. Shokichi's rank wasn't revealed at the release of the guidebook, so it's possible that everyone after Rank 3 has moved down.

Trivia[]
- Akari has been noted as being one of the two highest offensive ability members yet his M.A.R.S. Ranking is 6. This is due to the M.A.R.S. rankings working off assuming capture as an objective as the primary determiner of rank.
- Officers have the highest M.A.R.S. ranking, having been trained purposely for Anti-Terraformar combat due to genetic inheritance or Human experimentation pre-M.O. operation. The only officer to have a low ranking is Liu. This is due to the Chinese have purposefully ordered their members to gain a low ranking to ensure most of them are kept inside the ship thereby tampering with the rank system.
