The Jovian Moons are the 63 moons of Jupiter, and some of the UNSC's colony worlds.
Humans began settling these moons in 2080. In 2160, before the formation of the UNSC, the Frieden, a resurgent fascist movement springing from anti-Koslovic sentiment in the Jovian Moons was formed to achieve peace by destroying the "oppressors on Terra Firma" and it attacked the UN Colonial Advisers on the moon, sparking the Jovian Moons Campaign, the Rain Forest Wars, a series of clashes of Mars, and the Interplanetary War. The Frieden and the Koslovics were defeated, and the moons returned to the control of the UNSC. This conflict was called the Jovian Moons Campaign.[1] During the Human-Covenant War Regrets fleet was detected near Io.
Jovian Moons
- Europa
- Smallest, yet only natural life-capable Jovian moon. The Spartan-II Supersoldiers had a mission on Europa some time before 2552.[2]
- Io
- Third largest Jovian moon. This is where the Frieden first attacked the United Nations.
- The fleet of the High Prophet of Regret passed near Io where they were detected by Io Station just minutes prior and before the Battle of Earth.
- Ganymede-The largest Jovian Moon bigger than both Earth's Moon and Mercury. The EVA Armor was developed here.
- Callisto- The second largest Jovian Moon. In 2170 it was the site of the signing of the Callisto Treaty which officially ended the Interplanetary War.[3] Herzog claimed to have to deal with paperwork regarding surveillance here.[4]
Trivia
- Jove was another Latin name for the god Jupiter.
