'''MIDA''' (an acronym with an unknown meaning) was a revolutionary government that came to power on [[Mars]] in an alternate timeline, and the creator of the weapons [[MIDA Multi-Tool]] and [[MIDA Mini-Tool]].

==Overview==
MIDA was a rebel group that seized control of [[Mars]]. During its brief reign, MIDA was responsible for the deaths of 10% of the Martian population. The government eventually fell, and its surviving loyalists were forced to go on the run from threats such as "battleroids".<ref name="Multi">'''Bungie (2017/7/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Activision Blizzard, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/mida-multi-tool MIDA Multi-Tool]''</ref><ref name="Mini">'''Bungie (2017/7/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Activision Blizzard, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/mida-mini-tool MIDA Mini-Tool]''</ref>

Around the date of November 17, 2472 in the alternate timeline, two survivors, carrying the MIDA weapons with them, learned the location of a "salvaged construct" that they hoped would allow them to flee to another timeline and thus preserve MIDA's ideals. One survivor, Strauss, fled the planet aboard his ship before reaching the anomaly, but the other apparently succeeded in at least bringing the weapons to it. The weapons entered the [[Guardian]]s' timeline, were discovered by Commander [[Zavala]], and the details of MIDA were extracted from their log caches by Lord [[Shaxx]].<ref name="Mini"/>

-Around the date of November 17, 2472, in the alternate timeline, two survivors, carrying the MIDA weapons with them, learned the location of a "salvaged construct" that they hoped would allow them to flee somewhere safe and thus preserve MIDA's ideals. One survivor, Strauss, fled the planet, but the other traveled deep beneath the Martian surface, guided by their Mini-Tool in response to their request to "go somewhere better." There, they apparently found a temporal anomaly that allowed at least the weapons to pass through. The weapons entered the [[Guardian]]s' timeline, were discovered by Commander [[Zavala]], and the details of MIDA were extracted from their log caches by Lord [[Shaxx]] using their electronic warfare functions.<ref name="Mini"/>

-==Trivia==
-*MIDA is a direct reference to [[Bungie]]'s ''Marathon'' series, specifically "[http://marathongame.wikia.com/wiki/The_Rose_(Level) The Rose]" level where the history of MIDA is discussed. The terminal entry can be found [http://marathon.bungie.org/story/chicken.html#1.1 here]; relevant portions of the text are quoted:
-{{Article quote|The MIDA coup was afterwards criticized for its shortsightedness. In an organization that was notorious for its long ranging policies and politicking, the coup was very short-lived: MIDA never seriously accounted for the UEG's overwhelming superiority in ground forces and warships. In fact, they never attempted to take over the Marathon, which was nearing completion and would have made a very powerful weapon. The Marathon's massive size made it invulnerable to most normal space attacks, and it would have made a very stable weapons platform.
-After the failed coup, the leaders of MIDA were executed for their crimes, and the political organization was banned in all forms.}}
-*In the [[MIDA Multi-Tool]]'s lore, Shaxx attempts to create a backronym: "Mars Is Damnably Arid".
