The ominous and highly secretive Marsec corporation took over from X-COM as the leading provider of off-world security, as X-COM centered its activities around Mega-Primus. During the initial years of their operation Marsec was empowered to impose order on the rebellious Mars colony. Marsec (Mars Security) developed high technology weaponry and vehicles by recruiting top Scientists from Earth and using the equipment left by X-COM. With the establishment of the remote Elerium mining colonies, Marsec secured contracts for military equipment despite competition from Megapol.  From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia

Marsec

Marsec is the largest vehicle and armament provider within the city.
Air vehicles are necessary for X-Com's role within Mega-Primus. If Marsec is hostile and no combat variants of Hybrid vehciles are known, failure to defend the city (and eventually losing the game) is the usual outcome.

-MarSec was initially contracted by F. Denman Williams II in 2066 to take over the security of the Moon and [[Mars]] colonies from [[X-COM]], allowing for X-COM to concentrate its efforts in fighting the alien menace. At the same time MarSec launched itself into the manufacture of military hardware with the help of Denman Dynamics, a corporation owned by Williams.

-With the breakout of the Frontier War on 2067, MarSec started supplying X-COM with spacecraft and weapons.
-Much of the corporation's reputation was gained after its violent crack-down of the riots on Mars that followed the assassination of [[NAA]] Primer-President Cameron on Mars Colony One. The unrest originated from the Elerium miners' dissatisfaction over working conditions on the colonies, which quickly turned into mass rioting following the accusations and arrest of the leaders of their union, which were accused of assassinating Cameron. MarSec's strike teams then conducted several raids to reestablish peace on Mars, with the crisis lasting for a week and causing 95 dead.
-Following the Frontier War, MarSec expanded its activities beyond Mars and established itself on [[Mega-Primus]], turning itself into one of the largest military suppliers to Earth's nations and the colonies.

-- Apocalypse's UFOPedia mentions that the [[Psiclone]] implant was developed by a renegade MarSec scientist.
-- MarSec (and the cheap-but-effective M-4000) first appeared in Laser Squad (the predecessor to X-COM), also as a secretive supplier of military equipment whose scientists were brainwashed to achieve the best results.
-- Whether by pure coincidence or not, MarSec has some similarities to Rekall Inc., another fictional mars-based Mining Corporation from the 1990 Sci-Fi Film, Total Recall.
-Both MarSec and Rekall Inc. have lucrative off-world mining interests, private security forces, repressive methods, and little regard for the welfare and working conditions of the miners.
