| ==== Europa ==== | ==== Europa ==== | ||
| - | One of the more uninteresting moons in Jupiter's vast swathe of satellites, Europa underwent several abortive and abandoned colonisation attempts, most famously the Yonaguni disaster that resulted in the collapse of several colony domes and the lonely deaths of thousands of people. So-far unexplained signal disturbances render the moon far more remote than mere distance would account for, but a handful of colonists and corporate research bodies still inhabit the desolate place. | + | One of the more uninteresting moons in Jupiter's vast swathe of satellites, Europa underwent several abortive and abandoned colonisation attempts, most famously the [[Yonaguni disaster]] that resulted in the collapse of several colony domes and the lonely deaths of thousands of people.

| - | Largely unimportant in terms of resource exploitation and uninteresting for civilian uses, Callisto was claimed by the Sol government shortly after it became economically feasible to construct facilities there. The orbit of this moon rapidly became host to immense numbers of habitat modules, maintenance shipyards and naval bases. Today, Callisto is called 'The barracks of Sol', as most of the system fleet is housed there; the orbital habitats are predominantly populated by naval officers, marines and their families. | + | Largely unimportant in terms of resource exploitation and uninteresting for civilian uses, Callisto was claimed by [[CSA|the central government]] shortly after it became economically feasible to construct facilities there.
