Jericho is a barren rock moon composed of silicates with deposits of various light metals with no atmosphere. Jericho stands out on the star charts because of the significant threat it poses to unwary ships entering orbit around the Planet Salina. Visual scans indicate that there is ancient wreckage located near one of the planetary poles. Unrelated however, the space surrounding Jericho is heavily radiated and produces strong electromagnetic interference that prevents detailed analysis and exploration of the surface.

With Crayter's expansion in the system, they eventually developed an interest in the rumored wreckage hidden beneath the radioactivity. Security implacements and warning beacons were established around the moon, and joint investigations with the Order are underway in the hopes of either uncovering the mystery of the wreckage, or at least establishing a permanent quarantine.
