	The ~~fourth-largest moon in~~ the ~~Sol system is a hotbed of volcanic activity, so much so that it~~ is the most volcanically active object in the system. This has made Io a lucrative ~~planet for geothermal~~ energy ~~despite its incredibly dangerous environment, and the difficulties encountered with early surveys of~~ the moon ~~due to its extreme volcanic activity~~ and ~~thin atmosphere~~. Due to this the first colonization efforts on Io were made later than Jupiter’s other moons, and only began in the mid 2200s. This late start has, however, not stopped Io from becoming one of the main ~~producers of energy in~~ the Sol system: it is estimated that upwards of 15% of ~~energy consumed in~~ the system ~~originates on~~ Io, a remarkably high amount for such a small galactic body.

	~~There are no official permanent settlements~~ on Io ~~due~~ to the ~~extreme nature of~~ its ~~volcanology,~~ and ~~teams~~ are ~~cycled~~ in ~~and out~~ of ~~geothermal~~ facilities ~~on a monthly basis due to the extreme danger working on the moon poses~~. ~~The hardship of life on Io has~~, ~~despite its lack of permanent settlements~~, ~~led~~ to ~~a kind of culture emerging~~ in ~~the crews that work on the geothermal~~ facilities ~~on its surface. This culture tends to revolve around the camaraderie shared between the men~~, ~~women, and rare IPC placed in such danger~~ and the ~~belief that the engineers of Io~~ are ~~the best anywhere in the Orion Spur. In the eyes of a worker from Io~~, ~~nobody else could work in such a dangerous environment~~ and ~~hope to last a day~~.

There are no official permanent settlements on Io due to its extreme vulcanism, and teams are cycled in and out with its groundside facilities usually on a monthly basis due to the extreme danger working on the moon poses, the highly traumatic work tending to damage crew as much as equipment over long periods of exposure. The hardship of life on Io has, despite its lack of permanent settlements, led to a the development of a somewhat insular, elitist culture in dropsite crews. This culture tends to revolve around the camaraderie shared between the men, women, and rare IPC placed in such danger, and the belief that the engineers of Io are the best anywhere in the Orion Spur. In the eyes of a worker from Io, nobody else could work in such a dangerous environment and hope to last a day.

			This is, at least, an attitude somewhat justified by prevailing economic attitudes: workers from Io are prized throughout the Orion Spur for their engineering abilities, and are highly sought-after by corporations such as Einstein Engines, Hephaestus Industries, and NanoTrasen.

	~~Due to its lack of a significant atmosphere, Ganymede was long laid mostly unused by humanity. However~~, in the ~~mid~~-~~2200s~~ the ~~Sol Alliance opted~~ to ~~utilize~~ the ~~moon for a purpose well-suited for a moon without much~~ of ~~an atmosphere.~~ Ganymede ~~is now the site~~ of the ~~largest telescope~~ in ~~the Sol system, and perhaps the largest telescope in the Sol Alliance or even the entire Orion Spur~~. ~~The truly massive Hubble II telescope facility covers~~ as ~~much~~ as ~~a third of the moon’s surface and is renowned throughout the Orion Spur’s scientific community for~~ its ~~ability~~ to ~~produce high-quality images of extremely distant objects. Hubble II has even managed some commercial success, with Idris Incorporated producing a licensed year calendar using~~ its ~~images of major planets~~.		Often regarded as Callisto’s twin, the low-burn rivalry between the two Jovian sisters dates back all the way to their respective founders. In contrast to the Commonwealth origins of Callisto, the '''Federation of Ganymede''' was colonized by a combined effort of the [[Earth#Europe\|European Union]] in competition with their close neighbour. Initially not as flashy as its terraformed twin, Ganymede ultimately used its more inhospitable nature to its advantage.

	~~The massive underwater oceans~~ of the moon ~~- by some estimates, larger even than Europa’s seas - are home~~ to ~~some of~~ the ~~most significant~~ population ~~centers on Jupiter’s moons~~. ~~While not~~ as ~~prominent as Callisto,~~ the ~~Ganymedian underwater cities below its crust house upwards~~ of a ~~billion residents - most~~ of ~~which are involved with Ganymede’s massive scientific community in one way or another~~. ~~While Hubble II remains~~ the ~~planet’s primary employer due to~~ its ~~sheer size and scale~~, ~~there are a multitude of other scientific ventures on~~ the ~~planet - a scientist on Ganymede can, if they do not want to work in Hubble II, find themselves instead conducting oceanic or geological surveys~~ of the ~~planet. Ganymede is additionally home to a multitude of hydroponics facilities~~, and ~~has a reputation as one~~ of the ~~Sol System's major food sources alongside~~ the ~~donut aerostats of [[Venus]]~~.		Ganymede is notable for its extremely dense and efficient architecture compared to barren moons like Luna, eschewing surface domes in favor of large and sprawling towers dotting the surface. Residential towers are a minority in Ganymede, with the Gallilean moon never able to match the population of its neighbour. Instead, the majority of those towers serve as the breadbasket of the [[Sol\|Solar System]], growing a variety of crops using the moon’s abundant ice oceans. Over the span of 200 years since its initial colonization, Ganymede perfected the use of the towering farmland, optimizing ocean desalination efforts and fielding some of the best agricultural experts in the Spur.

	~~Ganymedian culture~~ is, as a ~~result~~, ~~focused around scientific pursuits~~ and ~~excellence~~ in ~~all things they do. Ganymedians are~~ often ~~viewed~~ as ~~very efficient~~, ~~goal-oriented people due to this focus~~ on ~~excellence and~~ are ~~viewed as very desirable scientists~~ and ~~research directors by megacorporations~~.		Ganymede’s more mechanically inclined infrastructure isn’t insignificant either. While Callisto serves as the gateway for goods entering Sol, Ganymede is a hub through which the system communicates with the wider Spur. Surface not used for habitation or farmland is occupied by massive communication arrays and information infrastructure, free of cumbersome atmospheric interference.

			The lack of an atmosphere likewise made the Jovian moon a perfect candidate for one of the wonders of the Spur; something many of its residents pride themselves on. The truly massive Hubble II telescope facility covers as much as a third of the moon’s surface and is renowned throughout the Orion Spur’s scientific community for its ability to produce high-quality images of extremely distant objects. Hubble II has even managed some commercial success, with Idris Incorporated producing a licensed year calendar using its images of major planets, and even the galactic core, Sagittarius A*.

			Unsurprisingly, due to the nature of the moon, [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]] has a foothold in its research institutions and widespread farmlands, often employing Ganymedeans outside of the moon itself as astronomers and agricultural researchers. Also of note is the foothold of [[Einstein Engines]], heavily invested in Ganymede's information infrastructure and the maintenance of the moon's massive telescope. Einstein employees on Ganymede are typically engineers and technicians whom specialize in said infrastructure.

	Callisto was originally founded by colonists of the United Orbital Enterprise in the early 2100s. The moon was acquired by the Sol Alliance following the collapse of the UOE and was eventually auctioned wholesale to Einstein Engines during the Second Great Depression. Einstein Engines has since turned the moon into the main point of entry and exit from the Sol system due to its excellent location and multiple warp gates in orbit. The low radiation levels of Callisto mean that the moon features several permanent settlements and orbital facilities, and the moon has gained significant wealth from this trade. Despite the recent proliferation of bluespace drives and engines, Callisto remains the main point of entry for most vessels leaving or entering the Sol system due to the comparatively cheaper cost of a warp gate. Callisto is also one of the main producers of water in the Sol system, due to its significant underground saltwater oceans.

	Culture on Callisto is a dynamic thing due to the amount of people coming and going from the planet due to its status as a major trading and transit point in one of the Orion Spur’s wealthiest systems. ~~Callistians~~, as they like to be called, are regarded as one of the most cosmopolitan people in the Sol system (perhaps in the whole Alliance) and pride themselves on their renowned reputation for friendliness. Nonhumans are not an uncommon sight on Callisto, and most Solarians from the moon find themselves more comfortable around nonhumans than other Solarians. Two common holidays on Callisto are Founding Day (22 July), which celebrates its recognition as a member state of the Sol Alliance and Warp Day (5 November), which celebrates the first successful warp transit.

	The fifth planet out from Sol, and the largest in the system, '''Jupiter''' has long fascinated humanity with its dramatic surface and miniature solar system of moons. The gas giant was an early target for human colonization during the “new space race” and remains a major settlement for humanity in the 25th century, with several billion people calling the various moons orbiting Jupiter home. The vast majority of the planet’s population lives on these moons, with only a brave (or foolish) few opting to make their lives in orbital habitats on the “surface” of the gas giant.
