The Corporation saw everything in terms of profits, and ignored increasingly hostile relations between the miners and the security forces, their technicians carefully filtered all message traffic between Mars and the Earth to keep it unaware of the situation. They shipped it all back to a resource-stripped Earth, specifically a substance known as Noachite which in Earth's economy could make fortunes. The Ultor Corporation colonized Mars in around 2050 to take advantage of its vast untapped mining potential, and the advantages of its remote location. While Ultor had interests in nanotechnology and weapon manufacturing, they were primarily a mining company this could be seen in their logo, a stylized continuous mining machine blade wheel. The company was dismantled, but its most vital secrets, such as Axel Capek's biochemical experiments and advancements in nanotechnology, remained safely in the hands of Ultor's remnants - the Marauders.
In the First Martian Revolution, Ultor was overthrown, with the Earth Defence Force taking control of Mars, and rival companies - Kuroari, AmRuKuo, Colonial Transit Authority, Jangwa Mashamba - moved in for the kill and seized the lucrative mining rights, especially precious noachite that was the source of Ultor's wealth. Their rule is an infamous chapter in the history of human settlement on the red planet, marked by the enslavement of their workforce and free run to characters such as their insidious head scientist, Axel Capek. The Ultor Corporation, named after the ancient Roman temple devoted to the Roman god Mars, is the antagonist of Red Faction and the sole power on Mars at the time of the game's events.
Red Faction: Guerrilla comic The Saints Row Wiki also has an article about Ultor.
