Port Phobos
The richest densest clot of humanity outside of Earth. Port Phobos takes up most of the martian moon Phobos and is still growing. Port Phobos began as a freight way station for material headed to Helium and Port Lowell to feed the rapacious maws of the Mars Terraforming Project, Utopia Planitia and many other projects.
This rapid growth has turned Port Phobos into a free-floating version of Manhattan, with almost as high a population density. The internal habitat is slowly hollowing out the entire moon, using the mined material to build ever more elaborate networks of docks and skyscrapers on the outer surface. The main administrative offices of the Artemis Foundation are also located in Port Phobos.

History
Founded in 2008 for the simple reason that Phobos happened to be a more convenient place to land, Port Phobos was initially a small collection of 'waved pressurized tents, cargo storage and flat space for landing Fencraft.
As more and more Fen moved to Mars and started increasingly ambitious projects Port Phobos grew to match.
Places in Port Phobo
- The Port Phobos STC Tower[1] is one of the tallest buildings in Port Phobos, studded with radar and more unconventional sensors it is home to the busiest traffic controllers in Fenspace.
- Calahan's is a good place to get a drink, and to hear a tall tale about just about anything. Those who have low tolerance for puns be ye warned.
The Counter Clock is a massive, old fashioned clock located above the main promenade. It is visible from many places in the Port, and provides mostly accurate, if mirror reversed time to everyone who cares to look.

Notes
- ↑ The debate over wether STC or ATC should be used is long running, heated, and mostly irrelevant. Unless of course you hear someone get it wrong.
