Comments: Euterpe is the smaller of the inner
middle moons, and is in many respects like Jupiter's Europa, it has a thick ice
crust over silicate core. Magnetometer readings, and later probe analysis
confirms a deep subsurface ocean, though is not life bearing (federation seeding
programs have been discussed though no action taken as yet). The moon also has a
very faint atmosphere, mostly of monatomic oxygen caused by bombardment of the
icy surface.
