Hilltop

Hilltop is a fortified settlement on Olympus Mons. This settlement is situated on the southern bottom of the large volcanic crater. The thin atmosphere forces everyone to wear pressurized suits while walking outside the habitat. These suits are dangerously easy to destroy so the city has mostly automated defenses.

Summary
Hilltop started out as a small outpost to check for volcanic activity in the 2060's but was abandoned a few years later as it seemed like a waste of money and resources.

After the outbreak, however, a large portion of the Mars Capital residents traveled to Hilltop and built a community. The place grew fast and had over 600 residents within a few months. They soon became the most powerful single settlement on Mars and continued to expand.

The residents of Hilltop call themselves The Hilltoppers. They are enemies with The Rangers just like The Tubers and fight them regularly. The player can help The Hilltoppers out if they ever cross paths and most items in the game are tradable at Hilltop.
