Dione
Dione also designated Saturn IV, is the fourth-largest moon of Saturn. Its trailing hemisphere is marked by large ice cliffs called chasmata and is also darkened compared to the leading hemisphere. Based on its density, Dione’s interior is likely a combination of silicate rock and water ice in nearly equal parts by mass. The moon was discovered by Italian astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini in 1684 and is named after the Titaness Dione in Greek mythology.
In 2077, the UNF member nation of Greece setup a scientific research labatory and several mining outposts on its icy surface after large deposits of iron was discovered beneath the thick sheets of ice. Dione has an active population of 7,589, with most being composed of miners.
