Jupiter: Interplanetary Hub

Jupiter itself isn't all that remarkable, despite its immense size. It has the same atmospheric composition as Saturn, meaning nearly identical resources; all without the unmatched beauty of its rings which are extremely popular for tourism and habitation. The violent storms in the planet's atmosphere makes gas mining difficult, however does allow "floating cities" to exist above the uproar of storms. Its true strength, however, lies within its plethora of moons.

Geography

The majority of Jove's mass is gaseous hydrogen and helium. Even to this day, nobody has set foot on the core of the planet, as the pressure, wind, and overall danger of such a project makes it nigh impossible to execute; however most suspect the surface to be relatively smooth and made of "common" materials. The skies of Jupiter are littered with gas mines and orbital cities, producing vast amounts of hydrogen fuel for rockets, and deuterium for fusion reactors.

All of Jove's moons are unremarkable in terms of mineral wealth compared to similar celestial bodies, however due to Jove's central location, large size, and variety of resources: it provides an excellent strategic point for corporate and state factions to build embassies, neutral ports, supply and trade depots, and habitation rigs.

Natural Resources

Jupiter is abundant in hydrogen and helium; as well as other gasses like Methane.
