'''Ganymede''' is a [[natural satellite]] governed by the [[Unified Earth Government]] and is the largest [[Jovian Moons|moon of]] [[Jupiter]] in the [[Sol system]].


'''Ganymede''' is a [[natural satellite]] governed by the [[Unified Earth Government]] and is the largest [[Jovian Moons|moon of]] [[Jupiter]] in the Sol system. Along with [[Titan]], it is one of only two moons in the Sol System to be larger than the planet [[Mercury]]. It was partially [[Terraforming|terraformed]] though it supposedly retains a harsh climate.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 283''</ref> Ganymede is home to a significant [[human]] population.
==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}}


The country [[Aigburth]] is located on Ganymede, as well as the [[Low/Zero Gravity Testing Facility]], the developer of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant|EVA Armor]]. Subsequently, the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant|EVA Armor]] was created and tested at Ganymede at [[Lister (city)|Lister]], [[Aigburth]].<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=evafiction '''Bungie.net''': ''Spartan Variant: E.V.A.'']</ref>

==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}}
