In [[2080]], Mars was the first planet colonized by humanity{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} in the first wave of [[Human colonies#Interplanetary age|interplanetary colonization]] in the late 21st century.{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=44}} Following its colonization—largely driven by corporations eager to break free from the restrictions of Earth's gravity and international law—Mars quickly became a hub of industry and state-of-the-art scientific research. Advancements were made particularly in the areas of [[nanotechnology|nano-]] and biotechnologies; largely robotics-driven industrial manufacturing and spacecraft construction flourished, the latter most notably in the [[Argyre Planitia]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc42}} Even before the planet was [[Terraforming|terraformed]], Mars was one of the largest industrial hubs in the [[Sol system]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} With the advances in terraforming technology that accompanied this boom of technological development, Mars was transformed into a planet with near-Earth conditions, becoming home to many.{{Ref/Reuse|enc42}} | In [[2080]], Mars was the first planet colonized by humanity{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} in the first wave of [[Human colonies#Interplanetary age|interplanetary colonization]] in the late 21st century.{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=44}} Following its colonization—largely driven by corporations eager to break free from the restrictions of Earth's gravity and international law—Mars quickly became a hub of industry and state-of-the-art scientific research.

There, he lived among the [[Khabnathwa]] people—the last uncontacted culture on the planet—and convinced them that he was their god-king, eventually destroying their culture.{{Ref/Reuse|Out17}} | ||
