World & environment
The Martian environment
Concord is built for a surface where dust, low gravity, radiation, and the absence of breathable air shape every route.
World & environment
Habitats and pressure
Homes, corridors, and public interiors form protected spaces that can be isolated without turning a town into a single room.
World & environment
Water and recovery
Concord’s water depends on extraction, treatment, storage, testing, piping, and recovery rather than any single discovery.
World & environment
Energy and heat
Concord’s power backbone supports homes, treatment, growing, transport, and thermal control while crews maintain the links between them.
World & environment
Communications
Concord uses a fast local network while messages to Earth move across a delayed interplanetary route.
World & environment
Ownership and government
Concord’s central question is how family security, lawful obligations, public authority, and broad ownership can live together.
World & environment
Concord Watch
A staffed watch connects reports, sensors, people, and bounded machines while preserving local authority.
