Jupiter
The largest gas giant in
Sol System, Jupiter remains without permanent settlements. Its most useful attribute is its large network of natural and artificial satellites. This network has formed what is now known as the Jovian League with its capital forming the most significant part of
Cryton base on
Ganymede, the planet's largest moon.
Locations in Orbit
Galilean Moons
- Ganymede : The largest, 5262 km diameter, and most populated of Jupiter's moons.
- Calisto : At 4821 km in diameter, it is the second largest Jovian moon and the furthest from Jupiter.
- Io : The third largest Jovian moon, 3643 km diameter, Io is the closest of the Galilean Moons to Jupiter. Its surface is highly volcanic, and this pressure has led to significant mountains (some largest than anything on Earth) and large plumes of sulfur.
- Europa : The smallest of the Galilean moons, Europa is still only slightly smaller than Earth's Luna, and its fairly smooth, icy surface shields a massive underground ocean that has become haven to -insert race later-
