"Lord of worlds, massive Jupiter and its moons must have been a cornerstone of Golden Age civilization. But the nature and extent of human presence there is now unknown. Old records refer to cities in ice and world-spanning oceans, but perhaps this is only poetry."
Grimoire description.

Jupiter is the fifth and largest planet in the Solar System, with several dozen "Jovian" moons. One of the moons, Europa, once had a human colony on it, which was lost during the Collapse. Now ice-encrusted abandoned cities are all that remain. [1] The survivors, however, appear to have been radically changed. Since the Collapse, Jupiter (and possibly the other outer worlds) have been governed by the Nine. The Nine seem to be interested in Human civilization and the Traveler, prompting them to send Xûr, Agent of the Nine, to the City as their emissary.[2]
