Call me Ishmael.

Also, ^this needs to start off a story

Vrith
Hexapodal race. Each front limb has three branches: one for grasping and manipulating objects, one that is feathery for touching things, one knife-like for food preparation and defense. No speech organs, hence they have to communicate through other means: manipulation of feathers through contact and gestures, neural implants long-distance? Good eyes, see in many different spectrums.

Australasia
Australasia + Indonesia + Malaysia + Philippines. Australasian dollar/credit. Imperialistic cyberpunk with Australian accents. Epic
 * English is main language, though Malay is used for traditional ceremonies, worship etc.
 * World Organization for Mechanics, Biology, And Technology (courtsey of ping)
 * World Organization for Mechanical Biology And Technical Skills

Dibs on Europa and Rhea. done. Use for colony building, astronomical exploration purposes?

Idea: Rhea is used as more of a colony for humans, with some observational sciency things along with it. Europa on the other hand is used for other practical purposes: fuel usage, factories and so forth. Plus imperialistic cyberpunk industrial complex in a frozen wasteland is awesome.

Chat exchange, on the subject of uses for Europa:

1:14 Holbenilord I guess you can use the ice to make fuel?!

1:14 Styracosaurus Rider Would it be possible for the water to be purified and shipped to other places?

1:14 Holbenilord The icy ringlets are better for that

Much purer, no gravity

1:15 Styracosaurus Rider How would ice into fuel work

1:16 Holbenilord Ice can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen by inputting energy

rocket fuel

1:16 Styracosaurus Rider Seems like a novel idea.

1:16 Holbenilord Ahhhh well

It's about seventy years old :P

1:17 Styracosaurus Rider Doesn't mean it can't still be used. :P

1:17 Holbenilord It's very hard to think of novel, realistic things because there are millions of people around the world doing exactly the same thing, and they've been doing it for longer, and there have been people in the past who were doing it, and lots of them are cleverer than us

But sure

Normalspace is a future history exercise, really

Genetically modified foods predominant nutritional source in Australasia?

Also, look into the asteroid belt.

For other people
Kroeiers for Ping

Vrith for myself (I am an other people really I am)
