Mars

Mars is a planet in Ultima II that can be visited with the space ship in the time of Aftermath. There isn't much on this planet, apart from the Town on Mars.

However, Mars plays an important role in Martian Dreams. It is where the whole game takes place. The connection between Martian Dreams and Ultima II however, isn't really clear. It turns out that Mars had an extensive civilization based on plants. Mars has cities and canals in Martian Dreams, although the civilization is in ruins. What in fact happened was that, after massive soil poisoning, the original Martians had gone into dreamspace to preserve themselves. Eventually, robotic bodies can be created for the Martians, since their plantamal bodies won't grow. After a showdown with the evil Raxachk, who caused the soil pollution in the first place, they leave Mars, dust storms destroying all signs of civilisation.
