Mars is the StarLink channel bot which helps channel owners and operators manage their channel. Mars is placed in all registered channels by Channel Service Staff. It stores channel operator identification information and access levels for each registered channel and also StarLink Channel Services Staff.

Once an operator has authenticated with Mars, they have the ability to have mars carry out commands based on their access level in that particular channel.

At the present time, we are processing channel registration requests immediately upon request online in #channels (as long as a channel service member is available).
