====== The Great Disaster ======
In AMT 379 the terraforming mission of Mars, nearing completion of its final phase, had a catastrophic failure of unknown cause.
The Martial orbital ring collapsed and several towed resource asteroids crashed to the surface, while others were flung out and destroyed [[..:locations:Station Aether]].
A sudden climate shock destroyed most of the viable farmland of Mars, and drastically reduced the yield in those that did survive.
The ecological and societal catastrophe led directly to the [[Martian Revolution]].
