'''Euterpe''' is a natural satellite of [[StarCitizen:MicroTech (planet)|microTech]]. It is the smallest of microTech's three moons and features vast frozen oceans and exposed ice sheets. 

From time to time, tips of land jut out from the ice to create a harsh and intimidating plane. Rather than large bodies of land, clusters of islands can be found around the surface, sometimes numbering in the thousands. The islands themselves are just as harsh as the planes of ice that surround them, with sharp, chimney-like rock formations dotted across the plains that hint of a volcanic past.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/17487-Travelers-Guide-To-The-Galaxy-Calliope-Clio-And-Euterpe|text=Traveler's Guide to the Galaxy: Calliope, Clio, and Euterpe|accessdate=2020-03-22}}</ref> 

{{Quote|Ha. Ha. Ha ha ha.
I thought I was free. I thought I'd compiled everything I'd need to get a good travel guide together and get paid. I talked up the ice formations. I speculated on the composition of the atmosphere. I waxed poetic about the mist. I even slipped in some jokes about ice skating.
Guess who broke her leg while trying to climb one of those chimney-looking rocks?

==Atmosphere ==
Due to Euterpe's frigid temperatures, environmental survival gear is absolutely required when venturing outdoors. However, unlike Microtech's other moons the only oxygen in the atmosphere is fixed in trace water vapor. This poses an additional degree of challenge for all surface-based activity.

==Trivia==
Euterpe was one of the Muses in Greek mythology, presiding over music. In late Classical times, she was named muse of lyric poetry. She has been called "Giver of delight" by ancient poets. {{WP|ref=no|Euterpe|text=Euterpe (Wikipedia)}}
