Mars Mission
Mars Mission is a subtheme of LEGO Space theme, which debuted in August 2007. It currently has 14 sets in the theme.
Pump System
Lego revived an older, forgotten feature in this new theme. It is called the pump system and was pioneered in the one of the previous space ranges Life on Mars. It is controlled by a pump that is pressed down. This pumps air trough a rubber 'pipe' and can do several things, such as firing a foam weapon or transporting Aliens.
The Humans
The Humans are a group of astronauts that have come to Mars in search of green energy crystals found on the Martian surface. In the storyline they are using them to power there futuristic devices, unfortunately for them the Aliens want them too! The Human structures consist of two colors, orange and white. There are a range of astronaut minifigures in the Mars Mission line.
Aliens
The Aliens have came from an unknown place in the universe for the crystals. They are not from Mars (According to the LEGO magazine). The Aliens themselves are transparent green. Some can also glow in the dark. Commander Alien minifigures are Aliens who are given a commanding role.
Crystals
The crystalls are actually the whole resson the aliens and humans came to mars. The humans want the energy crystals beacause they are more powerful than any other power source on Earth and the aliens want it for thier planet.
