 Adrastea (/ˌædrəˈstiːə/ ad-rə-stee-ə; Greek: Αδράστεια), also known as Jupiter XV, is the second by distance, and the smallest of the four inner moons of Jupiter. It was discovered in Voyager 2 probe photographs taken in 1979, making it the first natural satellite to be discovered from images taken by an interplanetary spacecraft, rather than through a telescope. It was officially named after the mythological Adrasteia, foster mother of the Greek god Zeus—the equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter.

 Adrastea is one of the few moons in the Sol System known to orbit its planet in less than the length of that planet's day. It orbits at the edge of Jupiter's Main Ring.

 First surface survey was conducted by an United Earth Astronaut team under the lead of United Earth Space Force Captain Rick Sanchez in 2097. United Earth Sol System Expedition 67 “Ring Moons Mission.

Adrastea was placed on the Sol System object list, “Open” and in 2099 the first “Specialty Colonists ” arrived.

Berny Rubenstin, the leader of the 500 Colonists did not want to mine or grow Shrooms. He aproached the United Earth Sol System Development council and requested a 60 Million development grant to built a recycling plant. He was denied, but Rex Schwartz heard about it, as he was in the same building at that time and offered to fund Berny's idea.

Berny started Adrastea- High Tech Recycling Inc. specializing in recycling High tech scrap and machinery that contained valuable components (such as Artigrav coils ) and offered the government and high gtech cmpanies a safe way to dispose ISAH Engines, old Hyper Jump systems, reactors and similar equipment that was deemed sensitive , dangerous or even secret.

The company was the first to offer such services and the business exploded virtually overnight to one of the most successful companies in the Sol System.

 Astratea today is the business HQ of Adrastea- High Tech Recycling Inc and home to about 10,000 permanent residents. Over 20,000 employees commute to the small moon every day.

The recycling operations have moved to several locations all across the Union, only a Recylcing tech development and test plant remains.

The moon is connected via Trans Matter Tunnel to Sol Hub and has a small inter system ship and shuttle landing facility (Not a Space Port)
