^
^In the year 2000 a the president of the USA declared that by the end of
^the century humankind would have established a permanent base on Mars.
^
^An internatinal project quickly arose, sending robot probes to Mars to
^prepare the way for Human habitation.
^
^However, by 2040 when the planet was ready for it's new age Earth was
^torn by conflict.  The UNCMU, (the United Nations Commitee for Martian
^Usage) offered a peace treaty on the terms that the conflict be
^continued on the Martian surface.  So, the seven major powers involved
^prepared colonizing parties and the UN ensured that each had identical
^equipment and knowledge.
^
^When the seven ships reached Mars, they destroyed themselves to prepare
^the land around the impact sites, spaced over the martian surface.
^
^As the leader of one of the seven groups, you can begin to build their
^new civilization.
