Built to level entire towns and return to orbit after absorbing their resources, Tharsis-5 is as much an architect of the invasion of Earth as any other great Martian super-vessel. Tharsis-5 was built to remain at a low elevation and disassemble its adversaries more directly, becoming something of a self-contained and heavily armed factory and material recycling center. In all respects, Tharsis-5 is an efficient mobile invasion base, optimized to obliterate Earth’s defenders and facilitate Martian forces, particularly across urban environments.
