Weyland

The Weyland is a spaceship and the ship that carried Craig Avery and the first colonists to Mars. It was constructed by the joint efforts of NASA, the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA), and the European Space Agency between 2020 and 2022. In march 2022 it was launched towards Mars with three-hundred and fifty-six passengers onboard, who would be the first ever humans on Mars. In august the Weyland touched down on Mars' surface, and Craig Avery became the first person to ever set foot on the Martian surface. The ship is named after the Anglo-Saxon God of Smiths. Over the next few decades the Weyland became a colony ship, carrying passengers between Earth, Luna, and Mars. In the early 22nd century the Weyland was hijacked by Martian revolutionaries, almost leading to a civil war between Earth and the red planet. Then the Somakians invaded and united humanity with their hostility. In 2166 the Weyland was scrapped after 144 years of service.
