'''Ganymede''' is a [[natural satellite]] governed by the [[Unified Earth Government]] and is the largest [[Jovian Moons|moon of]] [[Jupiter]] in the [[Sol system]]. | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Topography and ecology=== | |||
Ganymede is traditionally an airless body, and as such the majority of [[human]] settlement on the moon takes place inside a vast underground [[Terraforming|terraformed]] cavern system.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=41}} The moon's surface remains harsh to life.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc09|Enc09|Page=283}} | |||

==History== | |||
===Rise of humanity=== | |||
Ganymede was one of many bodies of the Solar System settled by [[human]]ity during the early half of the 22nd century. This era would see Ganymede become home to a significant [[Frieden]] presence, and was one of several sites involved in the [[Jovian Moons Campaign]] of the [[Interplanetary War]]. By mid-[[2169]], Ganymede (along with many other Jovian Moons) had been invaded by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], and Frieden forces destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} | |||
===Human-Covenant War=== | |||
The [[EVA-class Mjolnir]] was first created and tested at the [[Low/Zero Gravity Testing Facility]] on Ganymede.{{Ref/Reuse|BnetEVA}} | |||
==Government and society== | |||
Ganymede is famously proud and isolationist, and as such retains troubled relations with its neighbours. The moon is divided into numerous habitat-states including [[Aigburth]] - the political chaos of which is regarded as entertaining, if not educational.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The country Aigburth is a reference to the British TV series ''Red Dwarf''. It is from the name ''The Aigburth Arms'', where the character Lister was found abandoned as a baby. The city Lister is also a reference to the show, Dave Lister being one of the main characters. | |||
*In the ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' live-action short ''[[Spaceport (Remember Reach)|Spaceport]]'', Ganymede is a destination listed at the [[Manassas Spaceport]]. | |||
