Europa is a moon located in orbit within Jupiter and is apart of the Jovian Moons. It is known to have a formerly icy surface before being terraformed. It was thought to have had life, but the disappointment the first colonists had was with the discovery of no lifeforms.
Importance in Halo Lore[]
SPARTAN-II Program soldiers had a mission on the moon sometime before 2552. In the post-war years, Europa was home to the Watershed Division, a private corporation contracted by ONI. The MJOLNIR/Prefect armor was developed by the Watershed Division and tested in Denegroth, West Conamara.
