A planet that has been terraformed in order to sustain life, Mars has become the new Earth. Most people who could not handle the turbulent history of Earth have taken up residence here on the red planet and have made life pleasant. While they are reliant on their neighboring planets for food and water, Mars is the leading producer of technology in the system, and home to the primary shipyard of the inner Sol System. The planet also boasts some of the best academies in this sector. A secondary government headquarters has been established here in the event of something going wrong on Earth.
