Earth (Sol d)

""

Overview
Earth (also known as Sol d) is the uninhabited Third planet of the Sol System and former homeworld of the Human Race. it has 1 Moon and is located between Venus (Sol c) and the Mars (Sol e).

Pre-"Earthfall"
Before the skies of Earth were a constant radioactive storm forcing the total evacuation of the planet Earth was a lush planet covered in vast deserts, large forrests, expansive oceans and impressive (for the time) Cities.

It is during this time that the International Space Station was built in orbit.

"Earthfall"
The cause of the event later known as "Earthfall" is still unknown with exact records being lost due to a mass data wipe being enacted by the Angels a extremist group that believed that knowledge of the reason for Earths destruction could lead to the surviving Humans forming small groups and continuing hostilities just as they had on Earth.

What is known about "Earthfall" is that of the Earths aproximate 8 Billion humans only around 4 Billion survived the loss of the planet.

Aftermath of "Earthfall"
After "Earthfall" the surviving humans formed 3 seperate groups with one settling on Earths Moon Luna, a second group forming on the neighbouring planet of Mars and the third travelling in suspended animation onboard The Ark to the Alpha Centuri System as no light drive existed that was able to propell such a large ship as The Ark across the distance.

Post-"Earthfall"
Earth has remained relitivly the same since "Earthfall" with the planet under the juristiction of the Lunar Union as a member of the United Galactic Federation. Every ship that has attempted to land on the surface of Earth since "Earthfall" has returned highly damaged from the radiation lavels in the atmosphere with the crew requiring serious radiation therapy or in some cases the ship and crew are never seen again with the crew being presumed dead by Lunar Union Authorities.

The International Space Station was renamed Earth Station and is the closest constant human outpost to their former homeworld.
