Ganymede

Ganymede

Ganymede is the largest moon of Jupiter and the largest satellite in the Solar System. It is the only moon known to generate its own magnetic field. Ganymede features a varied terrain of dark, cratered regions and lighter, grooved areas. The game features 16 habitation sites on Ganymede.

Mining Sites

Notes:

• Negative values are not a bug, the game actually sets the median to a negative value to make it incredibly unlikely for the site to have a positive mine output. But note that the actual mined amount cannot actually be negative.
• Blank values indicate that the site can never produce this resource. In contrast, 0 indicates that there is still up to 50% chance for the site to produce the resource.
• Values shown do not take into account the final capping of the Noble Metals output to just 1/2 or 1/3 of the Base Metals output.
• Top 50% Mean is the average value of the top 50% of possible rolls. It is also a much looser estimate than the median because it cannot handle edge cases such as where the mininum value is too close to the median value.

Strategic Value

Ganymede's size and resources make it a prime location for developing a significant presence in the Jovian system. Its magnetic field provides some natural protection from Jupiter's intense radiation.

Human expansion to the Jovian system often prompts a violent Alien response.
