	~~Due to its lack of a significant atmosphere, Ganymede was long laid mostly unused by humanity.

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.

	The research side of Europa is less famous than its touristic side, but no less valuable to the Sol Alliance and [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]], the primary research corporation on the moon. Research into the flora and fauna of the Europan Sea has brought Zeng-Hu many valuable and well-regarded discoveries, which has in turn motivated Zeng-Hu’s researchers to travel further and further into the massive Europan Sea. There are some whispers from the submariners of Zeng-Hu that far below the tourist and research facilities on the Europan Sea, there dwell bizarre and horrific creatures unlike anything humanity has ever seen before. Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals has vehemently denied all rumors of "Europa sea monsters" that have emerged from the planet, and no solid evidence has emerged to support such animals existing. For now, these submariner's tales simply remain tales.

For now, these submariner's tales simply remain tales.

	~~===="Deep Crazy"====~~

	Life under the ice of Europa is a difficult one for the long-term residents of the planet, with a myriad of social and psychological issues arising in the dark biodomes and nuclear-powered submarines found underneath the ice. A commonly mentioned phenomena amongst the permanent residents of Europa is the so-called “deep crazy,” a result of prolonged exposure to the isolation often associated with the Europan Seas. Medical professionals, such as those employed by Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals, insist that “deep crazy” is nothing more than the result of stress and isolation, and insist that rumors of the affliction being unique to the planet are nonsense.

	Residents often comment that “deep crazy” becomes worse the longer one stays on Europa, that symptoms gradually build over time, and that they inevitably grip anyone’s mind after enough time on the moon. Some symptoms the residents attribute to “deep crazy” are auditory and visual hallucinations (though many sufferers will attribute these as originating “in the depths” or “from the depths”), unsettling dreams often involving themes of drowning or otherwise traveling into the depths of the oceans, an extreme fear of drowning, a constant sensation of being watched by something outside of the Europan biodomes (described by some suffers as feeling like being “fish in a bowl”), and claims of seeing seaborne fauna inconsistent with any known species on Europa. No species reported by a sufferer of “deep crazy” has ever been formally catalogued by Europa’s scientific community, though many sufferers will report seeing similar creatures.

	Extreme sufferers of “deep crazy” are known to suffer mental breakdowns and manic episodes similar to those commonly associated with extreme stress and isolation. These extreme suffers, after coming out of their breakdown, report having been “called to the depths” or “called to the seas” by an unknown force, and have been known to claw at airlocks unless otherwise stopped. Medical professionals associated with Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals, one of the moon’s major employers, have stated that this is likely just another result of stress. However, Europa’s residents and submariners often believe that there is something far, far below the charted zones of the planet that causes this madness.

	Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals, which seeks to attract more employees, offers extensive psychiatric assistance and attractive bonuses to its employees to both attract them and stave off the stress associated with the planet. Idris Incorporated provides similar psychiatric assistance to its employees. It also employs many IPCs in its Europan facilities, which has proven an effective strategy to avoiding the isolation and stress associated with “deep crazy.” Idris has also promoted findings that “deep crazy” is a condition resulting from long-term residence on Europa, and is unlikely to ever impact tourists traveling to one of the megacorporation’s luxurious vacation spots.

	Despite similar living conditions on Europa and Ganymede, with both planets housing their populations in underwater biodomes, residents of Ganymede do not suffer from a similar condition to "Deep Crazy." Researchers are still attempting to figure out why the "Deep Crazy" phenomena is unique to Europa.
