Yata, (Formerly known as Earth) is the fifth planet from the Sun, and is the fourteenth largest and second most massive terrestrial planet in the Solar System, behind Theia. The most populated planet, it is the home planet of the Human and Yomtach species. Yata is roughly 29% terrestrial, with the remaining 71% being made up of oceans, seas, lakes, rivers and ice caps. A planet that was once rich in void energy, Yata was, at one point, one of the most corrupted planets in known space, having once fully deviated from its own timeline which had catastrophic effects. Yata is notably the homeworld of the sentient Human and Yomtach species, both of which have since migrated outwards to other planets, mainly Theia and Sooz Prime respectively. Although Yata was once a planet constantly embroiled in conflict and war in the modern era, the planet has slowly developed into one of the more peaceful planets in known space.
Yata's known history is divided into three eras, of which there was a pre-historic era stretched from its creation to 300 BCE, an interlude "dark age" from 300 BCE to 0 CE and a modern era from 0 CE onwards. Yata's pre-history was technologically advanced, but not to the same extent as it would have become in the modern era due to future advancements as well as a large-scale yet short-term technological regression as a result of the cataclysm. During this "dark age", humans (who were the predominant species) fell into a centuries-long deep sleep, whereas the Yomtach were unaware and unaffected. Notably, it allowed the non-native Iujado to flourish, establishing vast mining outposts across the planet. Human habitation in this period was concentrated in the collective of Mei'ra in the Southern Atlantic, and in this period two satellites were launched in the hopes of being intercepted by alien life, one of which was lost into deep-space and the other was intercepted by an Iujado ship, and reset on a crash course into Titan.
=== The Earth ===
During ancient times "Yata" was known as Earth, however due to the global amnesia caused by the Great Sleep this name was lost to time, and thus the name Yata came to be from humans waking up in southern and western asia discovering monuments pertaining to the ancient "Yatan" civilisation, and interpreted this as the name of the world they inhabited.

==Historical Summary==
Ten years before the majority of humans began awakening from the deep sleep, Mei'ran scientists began tests with a stolen genetic formula as a cure for the disease, but this was proven to be highly deadly, and left survivors with schizophrenia. However, as the rest of the planet woke up, Mei'ra continued its hiding. Having been unchanged in three hundred years, people woke up to find the world they left as they fell asleep, sparing a few exceptions such as the vast majority of ancient Tritonian cities being left in ruin due to mining operations from the Iujado. Notably, the Iujado had believed the humans to be dead, and as such had them cleared from mining areas and buried in mass graves, where they would have awoken. As humanity stabilised following the cataclysm, modern nation states such as Yetia, Sizzle, Luxuria and TritoniaPreceding the Tritonian Confederacy emerged, continuing human civilisation almost as it was before.
In the year 116 CE, the planet Theia, homeworld of the Iujado, arrived in the Solar System into the same orbital neighbourhood as Yata. Within the first few months, technocratic countries such as Asophania and California launched colonisation programs, forming the first human nations on Theia. After regular contact was established, the nations of Iujadogia and Asophania began correspondence, a technological alliance that continues to this day. Asophanian scientists soon recognised Theia as a safe abode, almost completely devoid of war and conflict, and saw it as an "ark" that could save humanity if anything catastrophic was to happen to Yata. This hypothesis was soon proven to be true in 200 CE during the Yomtach Insurgency, where around half of Yata's population was evacuated to Theia to avoid the brutal invasion. A demographic catastrophe occurred, with around 40% of the total human population perishing at the hands of the Yomtach invasion. During the 4 years of the Insurgency, it is estimated only around 2 million humans lived on Yata, with small survival groups scattered around the planet, while main population centers in Louisiana, Mei'ra and Cotunauinia were almost untouched.
With the escape of the counter-Insurgents to Theia and bringing back a repelling force, the Insurgency ended in 204 CE, prompting the migration back to Yata. However, a small minority (around 5%) of evacuees remained on Theia, wishing to continue their lives there. Net human migration to Theia increased for about 20 more years afterwards, until major wars broke out on Theia, mostly in the Orientalis region and elsewhere on the planet. In a turn of events, Yata was recognised as the more peaceful planet of the two, especially after many nations put aside their differences after the Insurgency.
