-Io is one of the four Galilean moons of [[Jupiter]].
-== Overview ==
-One of
-the most recent [[Sol System]] bodies to be terraformed. it has an atmosphere now stuffed with
-greenhouse gasses at 1.3 atmospheres and a new day of over one day, the mean
-temperature is a warm 23.3°C
-(74 °F).A heavily volcanic world, the technology to change this
-deadly moon into a place where [[humans]] could live was not available until the 2740s. Creating an atmosphere was the least of their
-worries. At the time of terraforming, Io only had around 2,000 scientists and
-their family living deep beneath the surface in hollowed out towns.
-The terraforming began in 2752 when massive magnets were placed in
-orbit and miles beneath the surface of the planet. Massive drills then began to
-dig into the surface and were attached to massive space elevators which
-channeled the excess geothermal energy into the orbiting magnets and soon
-starships leaving the system stopped by to borrow excess energy from the moon.
-Once that was accomplished an atmosphere was introduced as
-well as desert plants and animals, as those funding the terraforming wanted a
-mostly desert world. Terraforming to specifications was completed in 3131.
-== Population ==
-Despite having been terraformed millennia ago, it is
-the least populated of the major terraformed worlds with only 200 million
-inhabitants. The population is made up of mostly Arab descendants as they have
-adapted to the desert climates of many worlds remarkably well.
-Most Ioians are nomadic, moving across the warm desert
-volcanic landscape most of the time. Most of the small settlements exist around
-the small seas that dot the world.
-== Climate ==
-While the technology of the time could have made Io a
-relative paradise, the settlers wanted a desert environment that they were used
-to, so the world was seeded with desert plants and animals engineered to adapt
-to the environment. There is more land on the moon than water, which pools in small
-seas.
-Despite the terraforming effort there is still a large
-amount of volcanism, leading the night side of the planet dotted with lava.
-This, in addition to the many greenhouse gasses, keeps the moon warm.
