Solar System Exploration 2 Wiki


Iapetus is one of the seven Saturnian moons. What sets this moon apart is its unique easter egg: a trans flag located on the northeastern side of its surface. Attempting to place an Explosive Charge near the flag will trigger a response from the "Transphobe Thrower," a robotic arm that grabs the player and throws them toward the Sun. While the arm can be destroyed, it will continue to function.

Appearances[]

Iapetus features several unusual characteristics, including:

  • A massive equatorial ridge encircling three-quarters of the moon.
  • A distinctive region on its surface with a mostly flat dark area and another area with a blend of other colors and rougher terrain.
  • The visible trans flag marking the easter egg location.

Gameplay[]

As with other Saturnian moons, the use of a jetpack is advised, as without one, players risk being pulled into Saturn's gravity well. Iapetus contains a decent amount of metal and water but no gas. The moon's rough terrain makes colonization in certain areas more challenging.
