Mara Salvatrucha, popularly known as MS, is an Creeperian criminal gang that originated in San Salvador, San Salvador, Creeperopolis in 1951. Originally, the gang was set up to raid stores and homes for basic living needs for young survivors of the Creeperian Civil War. Over time, the gang grew into a more traditional criminal organization. Mara Salvatrucha is defined by its cruelty and brutality.

The gang is currently active in many parts of Creeperopolis. Most members are Creeperans, Castillianans, Senvarians, Senvekians, and Deltinians. As a national gang, its history is closely tied to Creeperian history. In 1979, the gang went to war with the Creeperian government in the Mara War. It's allies are the Senvarian Liberation Front and the Militarist Front for National Liberation.

Gang members are hunted down by the Militarist Nationalist Front, also known as Sombra Negra and FRENAMI, a death squad with origins in the civil war.

Alexander Ramírez Umaña, the gang's leader, was executed on February 29, 2020, to prevent a day of rememberance being organized by his supporters.
