We are primitive people of an unknown civilization. In Earth Era 2128, Mars became independent. The first hundred people to land on Mars and their descendants born on Mars avoided the imminent civil war and created a new constitution and government. A truly free Mars was born. Red Mars is a thing of the past. Today, the planet is green, full of life, and even has blue water and sky, a perfect utopia. At the same time, however, the Earth experienced a deluge, a Renaissance, and a consequent population explosion. Immigrate, immigrate, immigrate again, from the earth to Mars, to the entire solar system. There is a tense and dangerous atmosphere between the Earth and Mars.

Aurora, a planet similar to the Earth, has oceans, land, and even beautiful sunrises and violent storms. Can this be the new home of mankind? Two hundred years ago, humans launched two spacecrafts each carrying more than 2,000 people into space to explore other planets suitable for human habitation. One of the spaceships was destroyed due to unknown internal reasons sixty-eight years after its departure.

Before we arrived, Mars was a blank slate. Earth Era 2026. A hundred-member expedition team composed of elites from various industries left the earth and landed on Mars. This place was once a great mark, a symbol of vastness, and a power that made people bow down. But now, it's just a barren land. Immigration areas were built one after another, and the space elevator connecting the Earth and Mars gradually took shape. People flocked to set up reflectors in the orbit of Mars and dug ultra-deep wells deep into the mantle, hoping to transform this lonely planet into a habitable place for humans on Earth. At the same time, an organization that advocates maintaining the original appearance of Mars is operating in secret, while multinational companies aiming to develop Mars minerals for private gain operate unscrupulously. Finally, after a sandstorm that lasted for two Martian years, the space elevator collapsed... Volcanoes erupted, glaciers melted, and Mars fell into a red ocean!

In the year 2026 of the Earth Era, a hundred-member expedition team composed of elites from various industries left the Earth and landed on Mars. Their ultimate goal is to transform Mars into a planet suitable for human habitation, which is "terraforming Mars." The "First Hundred Landing" established the first settlement, the "Mountain Foot Base", laying the foundation for more scientists and engineers to come to Mars in the future. Immigration areas were built one after another, and the space elevator connecting the Earth and Mars gradually took shape. More people flocked to it, trying to transform this lonely planet into a habitable place for humans. However, during the terraforming process of Mars, two completely opposite orientations emerged. One is an organization that advocates maintaining the original appearance of Mars; the other is a multinational enterprise that aims to develop Mars minerals for private gain. Greedy multinational corporations operate with impunity, resulting in overcrowded and under-maintained Martian towns. This situation finally led to the outbreak of resistance in 2061...
