A LCARS display depicting the surface based facilities of the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in 2370 in the lower right amongst others.

Utopia Planitia is a vast lava plain on the planet Mars, and location of the surface structures of the starship construction facility, the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, one of the Federation's most extensive construction yards. Probably, all surface-based facilities are also part of the Martian colonies. (Various TNG, DS9 and VOY episodes)

The Utopia Planitia plain was also the landing site of the 20th century Earth probe Viking 2. The painting of the surface facilities in TNG: "Parallels" was by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda.
