The Amorgos satellite is locked into a slow orbit of the greater Mykonos Gas Giant, but rotates rapidly on its own axis. With a thin Oxygen-argon atmosphere with pockets of dinitrogen monoxide, the air on Amorgos is barely breathable for short periods. Any prospect of colonization was dismissed after the revelation that the moon had little to no natural resources. With severe dust storms throughout the moon's cycle, the closest Amorgos has come to colonization has been a few brief survey missions. Due to dinitrogen monoxide concentration in the atmosphere, many members of these missions returned suffering hallucinations. Claims of alien ruins made are more commonly dismissed as a result of the hallucinogenic effects of the atmosphere. In 803 AS the Council of Elders on Crete formally forbade further survey missions to take place on the moon.
