"The women of Europa are like the leviathan elders that rule their oceans - formidable, assertive, and unyielding. They command respect, not through delicate charm or subtle nuance, but through the unshakeable conviction of their will. Europa's unique crucible, where human ingenuity meets the unforgiving sea, has forged a sisterhood of leaders, unafraid to dive into the depths of challenge and emerge triumphant. I've had the privilege of negotiating with Europan matriarchs; their piercing gaze can freeze your heart, but their strategic minds will leave you breathless. And all that swimming keeps them trim, too!"
— Somun "Geom-Ui Eiseu" Sang-Hoon, Technocrat of Jupiter
Ocean World
Europa, once a frozen moon, has been transformed into a thriving ocean world, its surface completely submerged beneath the waves. The terraforming process has created a vibrant ecosystem, with massive colony cities erected on self-adjusting stilts atop the tallest massifs. These metropolises serve as hubs for Jovian sea-farers, exploiting the moon's complex and exploitable sea life. Gigantism has become a hallmark of Europan sea life, as species have adapted to the lighter gravity environment. Leviathan squids, massive schools of exaggerated fish, and gargantuan kelp forests dominate the ocean's depths. Humans and Tankbrains alike navigate this alien landscape with ease, harnessing the moon's bounty to sustain their interconnected societies.
Biological Research Hub
Europa's unique environment has established it as a premier destination for biological research. The moon's contained ecosystem and lighter gravity provide scientists with an ideal setting for experimentation and observation. Research facilities within the sea-cities focus on marine biology, genetic engineering, and xenobiology. The ability to simulate diverse aquatic environments and contain potential disasters makes Europa an attractive alternative to orbital or planetary research stations. Breakthroughs in biotechnology, aquatic agriculture, and eco-engineering have far-reaching implications for human civilization. Jovian scientists, often collaborating with Tankbrain experts, drive innovation and advance the understanding of complex biological systems.
Birthplace of the Tankbrain
Europa is revered as the birthplace of the Octopus Briareus Sapiens, colloquially known as
Tankbrains. Emergent intelligence arose in these cephalopods through selective breeding and genetic engineering. As their cognitive abilities blossomed, Tankbrains developed sophisticated underwater cities, mirroring human ingenuity. Recognized as a sub-polity, they integrated into Europan society, contributing their unique perspective and skills. Tankbrains now operate robots and drones throughout the sea-cities, their problem-solving prowess invaluable in maintenance, research, and exploration. Humans and Tankbrains coexist, sharing knowledge and fostering mutual understanding. This harmonious relationship has become an emblem of Jovian progress, demonstrating the potential for interspecies cooperation and collective advancement.
