Olympus

Olympus is an old martian city on the Mars of the late 19th century, located at the foot of the massive Olympus Mons with the Olympus Mons mines, at 10°N 110°W.

History
Like all other cities, the inhabitants had to evacuate into the dreamscape when Raxachk released his deadly plague. When centuries later humans arrived on Mars, they decided to make Olympus their base. However, they became paranoid after martians from Elysium took over several people with the Dream Machine. So their leader Jack Segal ordered the locking-up of the city and smashing of the dream machine to pieces.

In Martian Dreams the Avatar at first couldn't enter the city. They first had to get witness from three trustworthy people, Dr. David Yellin, Richard Sherman and Major Greg Duprey, before the party could enter, as people feared more takeovers of bodies. Once inside, it was the main base of the party for the duration of the quest. It also housed the new rocket ship the inhabitants were building in the nearby Olympus Mines. Once it was finished everyone left Mars with it.
