After over 150 years, you'd have to expect humanity to expand a bit. Moons, planets, and space around the solar system have
all been colonized. Below you'll find all of the colonies, stations and even open-air cities on Mars that have been constructed in
SCW, and how many of these places came to be.
Marck City, Capital of Mars:
Founded in 2056, twenty years after Mankind first set foot on the surface of Mars. (Is saying that legit?) The Landing site was
preserved as a memorial after the first civil buildings were constructed and colonists arrived. In 2093, research in the city
peaked as the development of atmospheric shielding gave the city the ability to breathe in the open air. Once the atmosphere
shielding was in place, people were able to go outside without suits. An unexpected change occurred, as plants began to grow
where the shield was intact, leading scientists to immediately begin terraforming research. By now, warp technology was very
common, and a city-wide petition was made to have warp drives attached to ice comets and propel them to the planet. Now
Mars is a completely habitable world with only a handful of cities constructed, and many small villages.
Martians Tomb Dig-site:
After Mars was terraformed to produce water and air, rain and wind had washed out a lot of sand from many areas on the
surface, revealing an extensive cavern complex underneath and inside Olympus Mons. Explorers searched inside the volcano
to find hundreds of tombs filled with the ancient bodies of Martians. With these bodies were machines that looked to be
extremely advanced. These machines were immediately recovered and sent to Marck City for research. These tombs are now
being analyzed by thousands of researchers and archaeologists, digging out and exploring the ruins. The tombs are considered
to be a large village due to living quarters built into explored areas, with people residing in these areas. Thanks to the war, this
is the fastest growing area on Mars, as the mountain serves as an excellent bunker as well. Many protesters say the tombs
should not be disturbed in such a way.
Zhuzom Village:
Zhuzom Village was the first human settlement created in the colonization effort on Pluto. The village first started as a few small
buildings and a mine dug out at the center. Approximately 45 colonists died due to the intense freezing temperatures outlasting
their protective suits before Thermal Heaters could be delivered to the village. As time passed, the mine began to yield some
profit, allowing for more buildings and a deeper mine to be built. As the mine went deeper, more rare materials were found until
the colonists discovered the Iluma Crystal, an extremely valuable crystal that could focus beams of light, making them almost three
times as radiant. Multiple tests were run on these crystals and it was found that they could be used to triple the strength of
beam weaponry. Once this was realized, a massive colonization effort was made in an attempt to harvest these crystals.
Kradden Fortress:
Kradden Fortess is the largest planet-side military base in the solar system. It boasts a 30 story defensive wall with 160 defensive
sentry guns that defends a city-sized base. The base includes 24 AAA Cannons, 4 automated Factories, 12 Hangers, 40 Barracks
to house and train soldiers, normal civilian housing in-case of emergency and a 100 story command structure at the center of
the fortress. The Command Tower has a large landing pad on the top.
Beta Station:
With the development of Warp Drive technology, space travel quickly became top priority for development. The first space
development program was the Interplanetary Relay Program, which produced Alpha Station and Beta Station. Both stations
were Relay Points between Earth and Mars, used to regulate traffic between both planets. Alpha Station was a hub for
trading and commerce between the two worlds, while Beta was focused more on military production and the exchange of
materials. In 2147, two years before the war started, a Martian relic was brought onto Alpha Station by a Silgan military officer
in an exchange between the Silgan Government and EUCN to calm mounting pressures between the two factions. Neither
group was entirely aware of what this relic was. When the EUCN official attempted to taunt the Silgan during the trade, they
ended up activating the relic, which then created a small singularity inside the Station. It quickly began crushing vital systems,
leading to an explosion that destroyed the relic as well as the station. Relations between these factions were crushed and
the boarder closed between Earth and Mars. Beta Station still exists, however, and since the death of Alpha Station, it has
had many upgrades. It is the largest and oldest station in EUCN space, holding at 25 kilometers in diameter with well over
40,000 Point Defense Turrets. It also has a built-in shipyard, space and supplies for 30,000 soldiers and 40 resupply areas
for ships in dock.
