- "Should think about asking the captain to drop you somewhere else. Whitefall ain't exactly civilization in the strictest sense..."
- ― Wash, to Simon, in the "Serenity" episode
Whitefall is the fourth moon of Athens, and like the other three moons is nicer to live on than the planet itself. A good portion of this small world is run by a woman named Patience. Whitefall was untouched by military conflict during the war, but the populace still felt the harsh effects of trade disruptions. Most people here live by means of farming, ranching or hunting. A popular pastime is bare-knuckle boxing matches, fought between ranch hands or champions of the local bosses. Spectators bet on the matches and bragging rights are held dear by the winners. The threat of Reaver raiding parties has made the settlers here over-protective and perhaps a bit paranoid.
There is a rumor that Blue Sun has hidden one of its factories in the mountains of one of Athens' moons, though no one knows what they might manufacture there, or why it would be there.
