Treehouse is an [[O'Neill cylinders|O'Neill cylinder]] stationed in the Mars-Sol L5 point that is home to 37,000 souls. Originally established by a conglomerate of hypercorps, each pursuing their own research projects and manufacturing ventures, over time a number of small uplift-oriented hypercorps found their way here, taking advantage of their proximity to collaborate and share resources. With many of these corporations holding a more enlightened attitude towards uplifts, the local population of free, non-indentured uplifts began to grow. The local corporate government passed legislation to make the habitat even more attractive to uplift residents, encouraging uplifts to relocate here. In the years since, Treehouse has developed one of the largest uplift populations in the solar system (35% of its residents), intermixed with the rest of its transhuman population. Treehouse has become a focal point for the [[The Sapient Faction|Sapient Union]] and similar pro-uplift (but non-mercurial) factions. Tolerance and equality are embraced here. The people of Treehouse hope that one day their ideals will be the model for the rest of the solar system.
