Mars Colonies

The Mars Colonies are a group of 19 subterranean super cities built below the surface of Mars by the Brayburn Society to house all of their people, and give them a home away from Earth where they can practice science in peace. Each colony is entirely self contained, and self supporting, with each having their own localized food production, livestock, water and sewage treatment, and much more. Each colony is completely isolated from all other colonies, and the outside world, for purposes of health, disease control, and more. Each colony is also able to comfortably house and support up to one million people each, although most colonies only operate at about 80-90% capacity at any given time. But, even though they don't need outside assistance, inter-colony trade and commerce does occur as needed, although it is somewhat limited. The colonies also act as the primary supplier of resources for [[Earthfleet[[, as well as its various support organizations, such as the Saturn Shipyards or Pluto Station.
