Europa–5 was a planet situated in a system that also contained the planet Demeter-2. As of 2217, it served as a refuge for the renegade band of synthetics known as Steel Team. In that year, a United Systems Army taskforce under the command of Lieutenant General George March traveled to Europa–5 in a bid to convince Steel Team to retrieve biotechnology from the Xenomorph–infested planet Tobler-9.
Behind the scenes
While Europa–5 is considered a planet during its sole appearance in Alien: Icarus, the solicitation for issue #1 of the comic refers to Europa–5 as a backwater moon.
