'''Io''' is a [[Jovian Moons|moon of the planet Jupiter]] in the [[Sol System]] and a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] colony. It is the third largest Jovian moon. | |||
==History== | |||
Originally discovered in 1610 by [[Wikipedia:Galileo Galilei|Galileo Galilei]], Io is the most geologically active object in the [[Solar System]], with over 400 active volcanoes. Humanity began colonizing the Jovian Moons in [[2080]].<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 44''</ref> In [[2160]], the [[Frieden]] first attacked the [[United Nations Colonial Advisers]] on Io, beginning [[Jovian Moons Campaign|the conflict]] which soon erupted into the [[Interplanetary War]]. Despite being massively volcanic and atmospherically volatile, Io supports a large colony of humans.<ref name="enc283">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 283''</ref> | |||
During the [[Human-Covenant War]], The [[Regret's Fleet|fleet]] of the [[High Prophet of Regret]] passed near Io where they were detected by [[Io Station]], just minutes before the [[Battle of Earth]], allowing UNSC forces to muster a timely response. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*The moon was named after [[Wikipedia:Io (mythology)|Io]], a priestess in [[List of Greek mythology references in Halo|Greek mythology]]. | |||
