New Córdoba was the first colony in Ard Marjhoola. It broke ground in 933, on behalf of the Caliphate of Córdoba and became the political regional Capital. It featured 22 permanent residents once the original ground work was complete, the rest of the crew returning back to report of the mission's success. All the members of the crew were given deeds to plots of land near the colony, of which to build houses on if they wished to return. Some crew members chose to sell the deeds, and others returned later to start a new life once more services were available.
