Charon
Charon is the largest moon of Pluto, so massive relative to its parent body that the system is sometimes considered a binary dwarf planet. In Terra Invicta, this distant world offers habitation potential and represents an important outpost in the Pluto system.

Strategic Value
With 4 habitation sites, Charon complements Pluto to provide substantial combined colonial potential in this distant system.
