As Mining on Phobos became less and less productive, the Corporation, through its subsidiary branch MetroGen, decided to try an exploratory expedition to Mars.
And so Omikron 5, the first Martian Mine was established.
After 2 years of intensive drilling deep under the Martian surface only a few traces of Numasol were discovered.
this was not deemed by the Company to be enough reason to warrant a full scale move of all mining from Phobos to Mars.
So it was decided to abandon mining at Omikron until the Martian surface could be explored more thoroughly.
Rather than simply close down the Martian Base at Omikron 5 it was decided to “keep it warm” by converting it into an experimental Martian Colony designated Colony LV729.
The mine itself will be opened up at a later date as a tourist attraction.
On the base living is comfortable if rather cramped.
The cabins had originally been designed for miners with little thought given to luxuries.
But a New Bar, the “Mars Bar” has been opened and more recently a pool and leisure centre.

Shuttle flights to the Martian Base leave from the MetroGen Refinery.
You are advised that you will need the official MetroGen Miners Helmet and optional space suit if you wish to explore the planet surface outside the base.

OOC note

Omikron 5 is an RP area with one Game business rental, The Mars Bar, and 11 Residential cabins for private rent  L$ 240 each   50 prims
