Mars: The Blue Planet
Mars has long been discussed as a potential second home for humanity, and in the 4th millenium, it has indeed achieved that status. Vast amounts of ice and water have either been melted on the planet or shipped in from elsewhere to produce massive, frozen seas; production factories have been built on it's surface and volcanoes have been artificially erupted to pollute it's weak atmosphere with carbon dioxide; and gargantuan tesla coils were erected to produce millions of tons of ozone. After this, the planet began to warm, allowing pre-placed algea to grow in the lifeless seas of the planet, and seeded plantlife to begin transforming the surface of the planet from a barren, red wasteland into a less barren, red wasteland that a human can breath on without suffocating or freezing to death instantly.
Geography
The surface of mars is coverd in vast canyons; mountains; and a red, almost picturesque, atmosphere. The occasional city could be seen on the horizon if anyone was traveling by land, and in the sky it would be impossible not to see the vast networks of orbital rings, spacetations, and skyhooks used to support the planet's massive economy.
Fauna & Flora
Several millions of different species all live on Mars, forming a complete, unique, and dynamic ecosystem. The seas are filled with varying sizes of previously exinct aquatic life from earth, forsests are alive with the sounds of birds and insects, and the dunes of martian deserts house venemous reptiles, and animals that have evolved to survive rigorous amounts of heat and exposure to the red skies of mars.
Natural Resources
The ground itself is made of Iron, filled with chlorates and other natural resources similar to that of earth. Due to the sheer volume and ease of access to Iron, and therefore steel, production on the red planet is constantly at full volume, even for the Megafactory of OM Superproductions.
