“ | Ganymede isn't the Belt, there's a lot of connectivity between the domes here, mostly for safety purposes. It's actually helped keep things under control a little out here, keeps the pirates from raiding the outlying settlements if they know the militia's five minutes from anywhere, right? The moon's not as tightly wired as you guys back in cislunar, or even around Mars, but trust me; if a dome went dark all of a sudden, the Browncoats would know. | ” |

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.
