Aneph Olympus Mons Superfactories

A small group of designers and officers sit or stand in a overwatch booth, surrounded by white-coated launch engineers. The holographic displays in the room flash multiple different colors, and the launch procedures bounce around the room like an overcaffinated puppy.

After a few moments, the lights in the massive launch cavern turn on all at once, bathing a huge flying ship in harsh LED light, which seems to almost slide off of the stealth coating. The last of its crew - mere ants next to its four-kilometer bulk - enter through side airlocks, and the last of its 200-Griffon flight wing complement is loaded inside its rear landing doors. The cavern lights suddenly turn off, and the running lights of the supercarrier turn on, lighting it up in soft blue.

The cavern doors, a half-kilometer wide, slide open, flooding the cave with Martian light. The ship - the ANF Macharian Crusade, first of the Macharian-Class Supercarriers - lights its engines, the whole facility shaking with the deep bass. Before anyone can even blink, the engines ramp up to full power, and the carrier shoots out of the cave like a bullet from a gun. Slowly, it climbs into the atmosphere, bound for Aneph's Mars Defense Force.
