	Atlas, a Moon of Saturn
		Atlas, the second of Saturn's known satellites, orbits near the outer edge of the A-ring and is about 40 by 20 kilometers (25 by 15 miles) in size.
		Atlas was discovered by R. Terrile in 1980 from photographs taken by Voyager during its encounter with Saturn.
		This image of Atlas was acquired by the Voyager 1 spacecraft on November 12, 1980.

	History of the Far Colony
		The stations in the Atlas moon system were stable and (relatively) prosperous by 63 PSD, and had the resourced to start working on projects that were not rated survival-critical by the Steering Committee.
		The integration of birthlab individuals into Atlas society was not nearly as seamless as it was on Newhome, due in part to the extremely rigid education regimen prescribed by the Chenoir planners.
		Citizens of the Atlas moon system colonies looked around them at the wealth they had created and wondered why the strict regimentation and arbitrary laws passed by an increasingly distant government was really necessary.

	GURPS Far Colony: Breakout at the Mind Works
		The two major moons in the system are Chenoir and Gagarin; both are surrounded by necklaces of orbital stations, and represent the bulk of the moon system's population.
		The actual moons are comparatively uninhabited: isolated mining and scientific outposts are the extent of development on Gagarin, while Chenoir is the site of a long-term terraforming project that makes conditions over much of the moon too unstable for current occupation.
		By this time, all communications between Lyselle Orbital and the rest of the Atlas moon system have been cut off by the 5 km swath of lightsail that is now draping the upper sections of the station.
