Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System.
Nikodemus Riddle is noted as the "First Fan To Set Foot On Jupiter"[1] in the Fall of 2009; this act plus his biomod has given him the nickname "The Jovian Lizard".
Since then, the Independent Faction and the Heinlein Society have turned the Jovian subsystem (especially Ganymede and Callisto) into the breadbasket of Fenspace, producing more fresh food than all other off-Earth sources put together. Their food shipments to the inner system getting interdicted was one of the casus belli for the Boskone War.

Notes
- ↑ Somewhat erroneously since Jupiter doesn't have an accessible solid surface, so it was more of a diving expedition.
