Alpha Incipiens

**Alpha Incipiens -- First Beginnings**

The Alpha Incipiens Mars Base is designed for the beginnings of Mars colonization. Its modular design allows for massive customization to fully meet the needs of the colony.

***Colony Heart: *** This centerpiece provides the access to all other parts of the colony. With retractable "hallway arms", it can connect to any other modular piece the colony needs. Equipped with solar panels on top, it stores energy for use elsewhere in the colony. A satellite dish provides communication abilities back to earth and to other satellites.

***Housing: *** Built to look similar to earth housing, it provides a comfortable place for the colonizers to rest. Equipped with solar panels, it is completely powered by the sun, and stores additional energy for use elsewhere.

***Research Center: *** The Research Center provides the colony with the perfect place to perform experiments and take notes of life on Mars. The satellite dish relays the information
