Earth, often referred to as Terra, is the birthplace of Humanity, and the first planet known to host complex life. It is currently one of the two planets controlled by the Human Empire, and hosts the largest human population of all known planets today: around 10 billions, in 2256.

Earth is a mostly peaceful and friendly habitat, but the planet is known to cause continuous mass extintions over time. Humanity existed for millions of years and evolved in this environment. Shaped by continuous fighting and harsh survival conditions, humans became masters of warfare, and are still the dominant force of their planet. Today, Earth is badly damaged. International conflicts throughout the centuries caused severe damage to the biosphere and stripped the planet of most of its useful natural resources, which was the main motive why humans adventured into Space.

Earth today still has large pockets of wildlife in less urban regions of its continents. With the loss of their territories in Wild Space, the Human Empire struggles to convince its member nations to preserve the resources left.
