Several of Saturn's moons were sites for attempted colonization efforts that were ultimately abandoned or "lost", leaving the colony efforts in ruins on the moons' surface. These ruins are frequently used as operating bases for bands of [[human]] [[pirate]]s.<ref>''[[Halo: Retribution]]'', page 94 (Google Play edition)</ref> Overall, Saturn's [[natural satellite]]s are not as explored as [[Jupiter]]'s [[Jovian Moons|moons]]. | Several of Saturn's moons were sites for attempted colonization efforts that were ultimately abandoned or "lost", leaving the colony efforts in ruins on the moons' surface.

Eventually though [[Titan]] has been established as an industrial [[Human colonies|colony]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]] and Saturn itself became home to [[helium]]-3 mining facilities, as well as research habitats that orbit the planet. | Eventually though [[Titan]] has been established as an industrial [[Human colonies|colony]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]] and Saturn itself became home to [[helium]]-3 mining facilities, as well as research habitats that orbit the planet.<ref name="mythos"/> | ||
In general, the gas giant's practical uses to the [[United Nations Space Command]] are limited, due to Saturn's distance from Sol and the lack of necessity to be colonized, and therefore it is mostly just a tourist destination. | In general, the gas giant's practical uses to the [[United Nations Space Command]] are limited, due to Saturn's distance from Sol and the lack of necessity to be colonized, and therefore it is mostly just a tourist destination.<ref name="enc295"/> | ||
