| '''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==
| | It was home to the [[Low/Zero Gravity Testing Facility]], the developer of the [[EVA Armor]]. Subsequently, the [[EVA Armor]] was created and tested at Ganymede at [[Lister (City)|Lister]], [[Aigburth]].<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=evafiction Bungie.net's release on the EVA Armor]</ref> |
| ===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}}
