Ganymede, found in the Jovian subsystem, is the largest moon in the Solar System.
History
There were many arguments between the Browncoats and Heinleinians over "ownership" of Ganymede in the early days of the Fen Diaspora, based on the factions' respective source fiction. The Fivers eventually got them to share.
The 2013 Convention was held in Serenity Valley, Ganymede's capital.
