Mars, also known as Sol 4 or Sol d, was the fourth planet in Sol System and the first planet beyond Earth inhabited by Homo sapiens. The model the Class-M designation for planets, Mars had a thin atmosphere, no magnetic field, and low gravity. It is also a core world in the Compact.
Because of the water content below the surface and at the poles, as well as the relative ease of creating oxygen from elements present, Mars is humanity’s oldest and longest running terraforming project.
First reached by Terran humans in the late World War Era and colonized shortly thereafter, Mars became a founding member of the Compact.
