We've been posting far too many Inspirational &c sites and far too few original background ideas lately, IMHO. My excuse is that I'm busy writing chapter 3 of Legend of Galactic Girls (status: only one major scene and the entire interlude are outlined but remain to be written), and Comrade Fnord has a couple of stories on the go, too. But I don't know whether anybody else is doing anything creative with Fenspace at the moment...
I thought a focused project might be in order, to get the creative juices flowing again. The fact that I'm going to need some of this background for a future chapter of LoGG is quite intentional coincidental, really.
Here's what we've got so far.

"Ganymede isn't the Belt, there's a lot of connectivity between the domes here, mostly for safety purposes. It's actually helped keep things under control a little out here, keeps the pirates from raiding the outlying settlements if they know the militia's five minutes from anywhere, right? The moon's not as tightly wired as you guys back in cislunar, or even around Mars, but trust me; if a dome went dark all of a sudden, the Browncoats would know." - Comrade Fnord, in FTL Newsfeed #235
The largest moon in the Solar System.
Known Places on Ganymede
Not much to start with, but that means there's plenty of room for creativity. Should anybody want to contribute to a Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Ganymede, the thread starts here...
