Revisions
Since it's inception, the MARS Profile Guide has undergone numerous changes and updates. Because the Authority world is one of constant change and fluctuation the Profile Guide is updated at least once a year.
The current 2008 version reflects an almost entire rewrite to coincide with the launch of the new MARS 2.0 service.
