At a Glance
Ganymede, named after a boy of unsurpassed beauty who enraptured the Greek god Zeus, is the largest satellite in the Sol star system. Ganymede itself is larger than the planet Mercury, though quite a bit less dense. Ganymede is the seat of power for both the Jovian Colonies and the Outer Worlds Commonwealth. It is the third moon of the gas giant Jupiter, standing outside the worst of Jupiter's magnetosphere and radiation effects. Despite that, Ganymedean settlements are frequently sub-regolith "warren colonies", dug into Ganymede's rock and ice. Only the occasional reinforced dome or sky vent give a view of their massive parent planet.
