History[]
Jackal Valley Naval Station began construction in 2043, and was the first site on Mars to undergo colonization efforts. Due to the conditions on the planet, and the environmental impact of starship construction, Mars was designated as an 'industrial' planet, and as such, is host to a multitude of shipyards and vehicle manufacturers, such as Ford Interstellar Works, and General Aviation.
