Europa is a frozen moon of the planet Jupiter and the current site of a scientific research center managed by the United Earth Ministry of Science. Europa has a long history of study by Earth, beginning with the Pioneer 10 probe in 1973 followed by a dozen additional surveys and expeditions over the next fifty years.

The discovery of Europan sealife, alongside the unique nature of Io microbes found by astronaut Renée Picard during the Europa Mission, was one of the 21st century's most important breakthroughs. Enzymes and chemicals produced by these Europan aquatics helped end climate change on Earth, restoring the environment through a rapid reversal of ozone depletion and the complete elimination of the Greenhouse effect.
