I dont know for sure, because I have not read the entire series, But it seems your Pandora's universe, seems to be following Platos republic after a fashion.
At first I would have said no, because Mars doesnt(didnt) have the warrior caste Plato spoke of. However, looking at how the relationship between the NAD and Martians has evolved and then the addition of the Amazons(Valhalians) I must say that it is following a similiar path.
A leader Caste, a warrior caste, artists etc.
My question is, did you use Plato's Republic as an inspiration? I find the stories fascinatin. I just finished the story involving the Lovelockians. I found that one very nice, as it is always difficult to write, and give the impression of a totaly alien event. As thta is exactly what the Lovelockians where going through. Something totally alien and outside thier normal experience.
Great stuff as you keep saying.
