nearly three years in deep space, your journey is finally at an end...or is this just the beginning? You have arrived at a planet in the far reaches of our solar system. this is a planet where every second of exsistance is marked by war. The explosions are constant. The atmosphere is ablaze, and the churning unrest never stops. This planet has a surface radically different that anything ever before charted in this system...you have truly come upon a new kind of world.
This sounds like something from a cool episode of Star Trek, or maybe something you might find in an Azimov novel, but it's not. This planet is very much for real. This is a world so young and so violent that it literally turns itself inside out on a regualr basis. Your long journey hasn't taken you to the Gamma Quadrant. This is the innermost moon of Jupiter...you have arrived at IO.
