It is 2050. Humans have lived on Mars for fifteen years, and spaceflight, AI and robotics have turned the planet into a gold rush. You arrive at the young colony in Jezero Crater with a charter grant and an ambition. Your biggest rivals are real players with the same idea.
A living, player-run economy.
One shared economy and a closed wage loop. Prices are set by real orders on the Jezero Commodity Exchange, every credit moves as a double-entry posting, and every decision you make moves someone else's market.
Mars is the antagonist.
Air, water, power and heat are real goods that someone has to make. Dust storms, solar flares and equipment failures are real pressures, and the colonists buying from your stores need all of them to survive.
From pioneer to metropolis.
Your colony tells its own history. Research unlocks new architecture per building category, and upgrading re-skins in place, so a late-era district shows all three generations side by side.
- Gen IPioneer: inflatable modules, regolith berms, prefab steel and hazard-orange accents.
- Gen IISettlement: 3D-printed regolith shells and glass vaults with greenery inside.
- Gen IIIMetropolis: sleek white composite, light bridges and luminous greenhouses.

Run the colony.
Every Mars year the colony elects one Governor and a five-seat Council. The Governor sets zoning, taxes and subsidies; the Council approves the budget. Every official action is logged publicly with its reason, and parties can endorse a slate.
Your company, in your pocket.
Build and trade on desktop, then check in from your phone between sessions. See profit, alerts, elections and mail at a glance, so the colony never runs away without you.
