Titan (moon)

"Titan was like most planets. Too many mouths, not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution."
"Genocide?"
"At random. Dispassionate, fair. The rich and poor alike. And they called me a madman. And what I predicted, came to pass."

Titan is a moon of the planet Saturn. It is also the planet's largest moon and has a very dense atmosphere.

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

Titan was home to the Titans, whose society was dominated by a caste of corrupt astrologer priests (led by Jero) that used a false "sky god" (actually a statue with movable arms) to frighten the masses into submission. Astrotrain arrived on Titan and declared himself a god, with the intention of forcing the Titans to mine energy crystals on the Decepticons' behalf. Several Autobots showed up and defeated Astrotrain and the astrologer priests who had aligned themselves with him, leaving the rebel leader Talaria to begin building a more enlightened society. The God Gambit

Some time over the next 20 years, the moon was terraformed and became home to a secret Quintesson base. It is not known what happened to the native inhabitants. In 2006, three of the Technobots flew to investigate, but were shot down by Abominus and crashed on its surface. Their comrades eventually rescued them. Repaired, the team defeated the Terrorcons and compelled the Quintessons to flee. Money Is Everything
