Jupiter is a large gas giant in the Terran system in Sol Subsector of the Solomani Rim. It is the largest planet in the system.

During the early stages of the Solomani Rim War, fierce battles were fought in Jupiter's upper atmosphere and dark rings between Imperial ships and Solomani Confederation system defense boats.

Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system, was once a major Terran colony but abandoned early in the Rule of Man period. Ganymede also houses the Zeus Institute, a branch of the University of Terra devoted to gas giant studies.

The moon Callisto contained the Byahnn Research Facility, a major Confederation military laboratory deep beneath its ice. The base was captured intact in a Marine Commando raid during the Invasion of Terra and is now operated by Naval Intelligence. Callisto is also an Imperial Navy fighter and system defense boat base.
