Mars Research Base

Mars Research Base (MRB) is the first established Martian colony established by the Union of Everett. It was completed in 2015. MRB is located in the northern polar region near the ice caps, positioned to have access to a water supply. The base consists of scientific laboratories, dorm and living quarters, supply storage warehouses and greenhouses for experimenting with plant life on Mars and to produce oxygen. A space tether, similar to the East Asian Federation's, was constructed in 2017 for transporting supplies to and from the surface.

Facilities
The base consists of a series of facilities ranging in scientific labs, dorm and living quarters and storage warehouses. Scientific labs include labs for experimenting with minerals and rock sample found, ice research facilities and greenhouses to test habitability on Mars for plant and animal life. Dorm and living quarters include sleeping dorms, showering and rest room facilities, cafeterias and kitchens, recreation and lounging rooms and oxygen and water cycling centers for providing fresh air and water for use. Water treatment facilities gather water from ice caps north of the base. Supply warehouses store food, supplies, equipment and vehicle garages and maintenance garages for repairing exploration vehicles. A landing strip is available for landing shuttles and aerial drones. In 2017, a space tether was added to the base for transporting supplies to and from the surface.

Vehicles
Several surface and aerial vehicles are used to explore or conduct research missions on Mars surface including both manned and unmanned vehicles. The Lunar Expeditionary Vehicle, originally designed for the International Lunar Research Station project, was utilized as a ground transport for researchers. Unmanned aerial drones similar to Air Force drones were also designed. Up until 2017, the Expedition class Shuttle was used for transporting supplies to Mars from Earth, as well as fusion powered Orbiters, two of which remained docked at the Mars Research Station, a space station in orbit of Mars. Unmanned ground rovers and NASA versions of the HAD series droids explored the surface since 2009.
