Moons and Planets (Advancement)

A list of the various planets, and their moons. These are only in our system (the Sol System).

Mercury
First colonized by New Westphalia in 1929. The entire surface is a rocky, barren land much like Earth's moon. Its first primary use to New Westphalia was the Solar Power it could easily get from it. Mercury has no moons, and is entirely colonized by New Westphalia.

Venus
Humans have traveled (in Space Shuttles) through the gaseous layers of Venus. However, because of the lack of solid ground, humans have not colonized Venus. However, it is a popular tourist destination and there are several artificial satellites orbiting it, to offer tours to paying visitors.

Mars
Nicknamed "The Red Planet", Mars was first colonized by Japan in 1903. Its surface is covered in red, dusty, and rusty rocks. It is still a Japanese colony. There are two moons orbiting Mars,

Phobos
Phobos is the larger and closer of the two moons of Mars. It was first colonized by Japan in 1908.

Deimos
Deimos may be smaller, but its entire surface is incredibly smooth, giving it many advantages. Japan colonized it a year after Phobos was colonized.

Jupiter
Jupiter is one of the Gas Giants in the Sol System, and thus could not be colonized. However, there are countless moons and many of them have been colonized.
