Titan (or Saturn VI) is the largest moon of Saturn. The sixth ellipsoidal moon from Saturn, it is frequently described by humans as a planet-like moon. Titan's diameter is 50% larger than Earth's natural satellite, Luna, and it is 80% more massive. It is the second-largest moon in the Sol System, after Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and is larger by volume than the smallest planet, Mercury, although only 40% as massive. It is also the only moon in the Solar System to possess a significant atmosphere. Discovered by humans in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, Titan was the first known moon of Saturn, and the fifth known satellite of another planet.
In the 2030s, both the British Weyland Corp and the Japanese Yutani Corporation began establishing colonies on Titan.[1] By the 2180s, Titan had a population of about 7 million people.[2]
Titan was also a capital of the Three World Empire[3] (the three for Earth-Mars-Titan), which was created in 2088.
