Utopia Planitia (Latin: "Nowhere Plain") is the Martian region where the Viking 2 lander touched down and began exploring on September 3, 1976. It is located at the antipode of Argyre Planitia, centered at 49°42′N 118°00′E / 49.7°N 118.0°E / 49.7; 118.0. It is in the Casius quadrangle and the Cebrenia quadrangle of Mars.
(Boilerplate from Wikipedia)
In Fenspace Utopia Planitia is the site of the largest trekkie community above LEO, centered around the absolutely massive shipyards, which are the largest industrial center in Fenspace. The shipyards and the industry connected to them requires large amounts of refined metal and other materials, and along with the Mars Terraforming Project are responsible for the growth of Port Phobos which exists mainly to supply them.
