The Utopia Planitia Plaza was a public space in the Eos Sector centering around a monument to the Earth Defense Force. The monument which stood at the Utopia Planitia Plaza was by no means unique, with sister monuments at other major public areas such as the Xeros Gardens and Council Square alongside the large EDF War Memorial, all destroyed in the Second Martian Revolution.
