Agea begins as a glittering, jewel-like capital city nestled in Valles Marineris, its rooftop nightclubs and condensed-air dance floors symbolizing the opulence of Gold society. Over the course of the saga, it transforms from a seat of regional Gold power into the Republic’s embattled capital, its skyline punctuated by skyhooks and plazas while enduring bombings and siege. By the later books, Agea stands as both a beacon of Martian resilience and a recurring target in the war for Mars’s future.
