   In the distant future, during an era where humanity is technologically advanced enough to achieve manned interplanetary space travel, is Europa. Europa is one of the many moons of Jupiter, which has become colonized since its initial arrival in 2022. Over many decades, colonies and outposts have been forced to establish under the layer of ice covering the surface of the moon, due to the surface being too irradiated for survival. Beneath the ice layer is a vast ocean, navigated by foolhardy submarine crews, and various, potentially dangerous flora and fauna. Leaving Europa is impossible due to radiation.

2. #2Jovian Radiation

   Entry settings

   Jovian Radiation is a phenomena present on the moon Europa, characterized by a progressively deadly wave of toxins enshrouding the surface of Europa. There is a layer of ice separating the radiation from the oceans below, but as the ice melts the toxins start to seep into the water. The wave of Jovian Radiation moves slowly, but surely deeper into Europa, which forces the colonists dwelling within the oceans to delve closer to the moon's core to escape certain death. The radiation is predicted to reach Europa's most shallow colony in just a month, it will reach the deepest colony in 25 years, and it will completely consume Europa to its core in 300 years. Many Europans aren't terribly concerned about it due to its slow progression, and simply go on about their lives, though many dread their civilization's inevitable demise. Many outposts and colonies have been abandoned due to being overrun with the radiation.

   The Europa Coalition stands as a form of global government for Europa. It is an autocratic de facto superpower with a distributed bureaucracy and an iron grip on the resources, manufacturing and power within Europan society. They rule by fear, and have a reputation for shutting disobedient colonies and outposts out of the supply loop, or simply subjugating them by direct force. Their motivation is ultimately to preserve humanity, but at any cost, and preferably with the status quo left intact.

The Church worships the alien species Velonaceps calyx (AKA "husk parasite") which makes itself at home in an unsuspecting victim’s throat, eventually turning them into a mindless monster. The Church believes the husk holds the key to humanity’s survival on Europa.

   The Honkmother's children are an unorganized lot who simply heed the call of the bikehorn. Perhaps the most baffling of all the Europan factions are the clowns. Some say the faction came to be as a result of the failed Coalition initiative to hire 'professional entertainers' to help crews cope with working in the claustrophobic submarines. Some say they're just people who've lost it.

    Entry settings

    If left undisturbed for a long time, Ballast Flora will grow into a Thalamus, an intelligent organism capable of exerting some degree of control over the systems of the submarine it's inhabiting. Derelict wrecks are sometimes infested with a Thalamus and become biomechanical abominations, the strength of a steel hull combined with bizarre fleshy growths. Terminal Cells are small algae-like creatures that are injected into neighboring subs by a Thalamus' Flesh Spike. They serve as the primary offensive mechanism of the Thalamus, and are effective at eating a ship from the inside. The plural is debated, either Thalamuses, or Thalami.

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The Spineling is small and spindly, appearing similar to a dark dragonfly thanks to its twelve metallic-white spines and scales on its rear, but is more so a fin-less eel, capable of twisting on the spot to get the best shot with its plethora of natural harpoons. Spinelings are incredibly quick and capable of turning on the spot, making it challenging to hit them with Coilgun and Railgun weapons. The Spineling's only means of attack is to launch its spines most often at submarines or unfortunate divers. The main danger of these spines is that they can easily penetrate multiple decks of a submarine, and reliably hit the crew on the inside

    Any time a pomegrenade plant bears fruit, there's a chance one of the pomegrenades will mutate. Upon any significant damage/impact to the mutated fruit, or if it separates from the plant, it will detonate and cause severe burns to anyone nearby, and will start a fire. These mutations make growing pomegrenades very dangerous, and also the fruit's namesake.
