Callisto is home to the Whedonite Fen who don't want to even pretend they're at odds with the Heinleinians on Ganymede; casual tourists often find the welcome on Callisto to be less forced than on Ganymede.

The moon is also home to a large fraction of the Anne McCaffrey Fen who have made it Up, based on it being a major location in her Tower and Hive series.

Known Places on Callisto

  • Jossburg (capital)
  • Whedonite domed towns and farms
  • The Tower - unofficial home base of the Anne McCaffrey Fen
