About Station Cortez

Station Cortez is a forward operating base established by the United Nations Coalition Forces in 2146 during the Martian Uprising. Originally constructed as a logistics and communications hub, it quickly became a strategic command center due to its proximity to key Martian rebel territories. Throughout the conflict, Station Cortez played a pivotal role in coordinating supply drops, intelligence operations, and rapid response missions. Its defenders withstood multiple sieges, earning the unit a reputation for resilience and adaptability in hostile environments. After the uprising, Station Cortez remained active as a training facility for coalition peacekeeping forces deployed across the solar system.
