Starbase 05

Humanity has finally made it to Mars. The first permanent colonies have been established, and a massive starbase has been built to serve as a hub for all future Martian endeavors. This is the story of Starbase: its construction, its inhabitants, and its impact on the red planet. Starbase was designed from the ground up to be a self-sustaining outpost. It houses everything needed to support a large population: living quarters, food production facilities, medical clinics, research labs, recreation areas... you name it. And because of advances in technology since we first landed on Mars (including 3D printing), almost all of these amenities are available right here at the base. The people who live and work here come from all over Earth; after all, this is an international effort. But despite their different backgrounds, they're united by one common goal: making Mars our second home. They believe in what this place can offer humanity… even if there are challenges along the way.
