Near Earth

The Near Earth planets, including Earth, are located in roughly the center of human space.
== Overview ==
Earth is the homeworld of humanity, and is now the capital planet of the Republic. Earth is densely populated with about twenty billion inhabitants, far more than any other human planet (the next closest is Chiron with ten billion). It mostly relies on food shipments from the Dirt Belt. Earth is not a great place to live, and many people want to leave the planet.
