Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. The surface of Mars is orange-red because it is covered in iron oxide dust, giving it the nickname "the Red Planet".

Background

Mars was supposed to be terraformed first. However, Venus turned out to be more Earth-like than it was. Decisive aspect: mass. Any atmosphere from Mars is very quickly blown away by the solar wind[1]. Terraforming equipment operates at maximum capacity, but all that humans manage to do is maintain the state of a cold desert, with GMO tundra islands growing closer to the equator. An acceptable level of oxygen and the ability to live without spacesuits makes people explore Mars. Separate bases of individual corporations are scattered all over the surface, reminiscent of the "boomtowns" of the Wild West. The only major city on the planet is Intercity. It was built even before the Great Anarchist Revolution, by the efforts of the richest states. The city was badly damaged during the GAR and was never fully restored. Intercity is a cold slum, over which individual corporate buildings rise like beacons in a world of poverty.

Quasimorphic status

For some unknown reason, there is no Quasimorphosis on Mars. Analysts note an anomalous number of missing people.

Stations

Shu Center (SCE)

Type: Network Center

Shu Center is an information routing node. Thousands of petabytes of information pass through this information complex every hour. Almost everything coming from the outer System to the inner one goes through Shu Center.

  • Manufactures: Specialist Rosters, Employee ID, Ledger, Management Unit, Darknet Unit, Military Unit
  • Consumes: Dataminer, Regular Clothes, Defibrillator
  • Accepted items: Mining Workwear, Work Clothes, Weapons Case, Electrical Parts, AI Module, Communication Module, Quasimorphosis Sensor, Geoscanner, Cloning Control System, Chemical Processor, Hydraulic Pump, Recreational AR, Basic Item Chip, Common Item Chip, High-Tech Item Chip, Mind Chip, Class Chip

Red Tiangong (RTI)

Type: Orbital Factory

There are not many orbital factories operating on atomic energy[2] beyond Earth's orbit. Red Tiangong is one of them. Due to its proximity to the outer System, owning this property comes with risks. It's unknown which workers sympathize with Civil Resistance and are capable of sabotage. However, the property owner has the right to protect it by any means.

  • Manufactures: Food Container, Military Rations, Luxury Lunches, Alcohol Package
  • Consumes: Water Container, Wetware Tank, Thermal Container, Acid
  • Accepted items: Regular Clothes, Work Clothes, AI Module, Research Station, Research Dump Disk, Prototype Blueprint, Load Of Gold Bars, GunBang Magazine, Medical Components, Basic Item Chip, Common Item Chip, High-Tech Item Chip, Mind Chip, Class Chip

Rebus Sky City (RSC)

Type: Orbital City

Rebus Sky City consists of several modules - residential, educational, and business sections. Due to its location on the border of the inner System, many tenants are tied to this orbital station. This means that the source of rental income will be almost guaranteed for the owner.

  • Manufactures: Industrial AR, Recreational AR, Hydraulic Pump
  • Consumes: Robot Parts, Printed Circuit Board, Toolbox, Microchip, Communication Module, Electrical Parts, Cable
  • Accepted items: Helper, Food Container, Electrical Parts, Quasimorphosis Sensor, Management Unit, Darknet Unit, Military Unit, Drugs Package, GunBang Magazine, Basic Item Chip, Common Item Chip, High-Tech Item Chip, Mind Chip, Class Chip

HIS Ares (ARS)

Type: Heavy Interplanetary Ship

RealWare is a Hexarchy corporation. The Hexarchy is an informal alliance of six major corporations that contributed to the Great Anarchist Revolution. RealWare is one of the wealthiest Hexarchs. This conglomerate deals with virtually everything, but its main source of income is weapons and industrial systems. HIS Ares is stationed near Mars, ready to deploy anywhere in the Solar System to protect the corporation's interests.

  • Manufactures: Dataminer, Combat AR, ANDR-X, Weapon Case
  • Consumes: Communication Module, Printed Circuit Board, Lamp, Microchip, Robot Parts, AI Module, Military Parts, Explosives, Guardsmen Clothing
  • Accepted items: Luxury Lunches, Alcohol Package, Regular Clothes, Mining Workwear, Work Clothes, Laboratory Clothes, Guardsmen Clothing, Weapons Case, Armor Case, Toolbox, Geoscanner, Welding Machine, Chemical Processor, Quasimorphic Data, Banewind Game, Load Of Gold Bars, Basic Item Chip Common Item Chip, High-Tech Item Chip, Mind Chip, Class Chip

Argyre-14 (ARG)

Type: Mining Station

Argyre-14 Mining Station is a colony with extremely challenging working conditions. That's how honest competitive struggle goes. If you're not ready to invent or organize, if you lack the sacred flame of Atlantis - you will sell your labor. And that's okay. Become a worker and take a worthy place in a free anarchic society. The station is located right in the middle of the desert. Life here resembles life in boomtowns during the colonization of North America's Wild West.

Sinkhole Oasis (SOA)

Type: Field Camp

Karst Oasis is a geological research station on the edge of a Karst crater. Mars' geology research has long disappointed many. The laboratory continues its work "out of habit." However, corporations usually don't tolerate idle expenses. And perhaps there is still something to study here.

  • Manufactures: Dataminer, Combat AR, ANDR-X, Armor Case
  • Consumes: Communication Module, Printed Circuit Board, Lamp, Microchip, Robot Parts, AI Module, Military Parts, Toolbox
  • Accepted items: Luxury Lunches, Alcohol Package, Regular Clothes, Mining Workwear, Work Clothes, Laboratory Clothes, Guardsmen Clothing, Weapons Case, Armor Case, Toolbox, Geoscanner, Welding Machine, Chemical Processor, Quasimorphic Data, Banewind Game, Load Of Gold Bars, Basic Item Chip Common Item Chip, High-Tech Item Chip, Mind Chip, Class Chip

Gloria Terminal (GLT)

Type: Spaceport

Gloria Terminal is a spaceport that provides launch, landing, refueling, charging, and current maintenance of shuttles and interplanetary ships. The terminal is located on the outskirts of Intercity, the only city on Mars that was conceived as a symbol of humanity's prosperity but ended up half-abandoned, swept by dusty winds, and the graveyard of many hopes.

Intercity TC (TC)

Type: Business Center

Amidst the desert streets of Intercity, covered in a thick layer of reddish dust, stands one truly vibrant building - Intercity Trade Center Arcology. Despite the skepticism towards Mars, one can make substantial profits here from those seeking fortune on the red planet.
