Mars has grown up.

It's fully terraformed - specifically engineered plants and animals live by recently formed canals and stormy seas - and it is politically independent. Most of the First Hundred have died. Those that remain are like walking myths to Martian youth.

Earth has grown too much.

Chronic overpopulation, bitter nationalism, scarce resources; to too many Terrans, Mars is a mocking utopia. A dream to live for, fight for.. perhaps even die for.
