	Individual buildings varied between soaring towers and vast landscrapers. Many were built into the landscape, taking advantage of the vertical scale offered by the plateaus and canyons of the mesa.

	To the east lies the tented town of Old Nergal City. The very first habitats on Mars were little more than warrens of tunnels dug into cliffsides, while the surface of Mars could only be accessed with pressure suits via airlocks. This style of living was of course unsustainable, and soon the new Martians moved into tented towns. Inside the tent a habitable atmosphere could be maintained and though it was still very crowded people could move around quite freely. Most tented cities have long since escaped their envelope and taken down their tents. Old Nergal City is maintained as a historical site, including the intact tent. Nergal city was home to at least 200 residents at once, though census numbers of the period are remarkably inaccurate due to the chaotic nature of the early stages of settlement, and numbers might have been almost twice as high.

	Perched on the plateau between the two ~~stands~~ the people’s resource palace. The original Martian colonists were all highly competent scientists picked to represent a large portion of Terran nations. Once on Mars, in a harsh environment but with vast technological resources at their disposal, and far from the controlling interests of Terran governments, they quickly developed a very egalitarian techno-utopia. The vast stockpiles of resources stored here, freely available to any Martian who requires them, is a symbol of this achievement.

	To the east ~~lies~~ the tented town of Old Nergal City. The very first habitats on Mars were little more than warrens of tunnels dug into cliffsides, while the surface of Mars could only be accessed with pressure suits via airlocks. This style of living was of course unsustainable, and soon the new Martians moved into tented towns. Inside the tent a habitable atmosphere could be maintained and though it was still very crowded people could move around quite freely. Most tented cities ~~have~~ long since escaped their envelope and taken down their tents. Old Nergal City is maintained as a historical site, including the intact tent. Nergal city was home to at least 200 residents at once, though census numbers of the period are remarkably inaccurate due to the chaotic nature of the early stages of settlement, and numbers might have been almost twice as high.

	Old Nergal City ~~follows~~ a vastly different build-style than the more modern areas of Nergal Station. This ~~represents~~ the ~~relativ~~ scarcity of materials available to the early colonists, who had to rely on locally available and largely unrefined materials.

	To the northwest is the construction site for the Space Elevator and the associated Spaceport. Upon completion it ~~will~~ be humanity's first space elevator, vastly reducing the cost to deliver both passengers and freight to space, and firmly cementing Mars' place as a central hub in the nascent interplanetary trade network.
