Sol System

Sol is the capital system in the Terran Confederacy, the cradle system of the Terrans and a culturally significant system for most species. It is the system that includes the forge worlds of Mercury and Mars, Terra, and the scrapyards of Pluto where Daxin Freeborn purchased his ship. The Sol system is one of the most culturally rich and heavily guarded systems in the known galaxy. The 3rd planet from the star, TerraSol, was once famously glassed by the Mantid. Individuals from Sol are called Solarians.

## Description

The Sol System is formed around a G2V yellow main sequence star, with 8 planets, numerous planetoids and dwarf planets, an asteroid belts, and a Oort cloud.

### Sol

The star Sol is a large and stable yellow dwarf that is roughly 4.5 billion years old. It has 4 orbiting rocky planets and 4 gas giants. It is orbited by stellar collectors that collect power, some of which are used to birth Digital Sentiences.

### Mercury

The Forge world of Mercury is one of the few places where Warsteel can be worked and cast. It is the closest planet to the sun and fastest orbiting planet, named for the messenger god of an old Terran pantheon. Referred to as "Betrayed Mercury," Mercury is the site of the Wrath Forges of Mercury. Rivers of molten Warsteel flow across it's surface.

### Venus

Venus was, for most of it's history, an acidic inhospitable environment; paradoxically, it was named for the romance goddess of a pantheon. At some point before the glassing of Terra, Venus was terraformed by Terran-descent Humans. It had oceans and plants, and was still in the process of establishing an ecosystem when it was razed. After the Mantid war, Terrans refer to it as Scarred Venus. Dakgorim of the Dakka boyz in the Black Crusade may have been a terraforming engineer before the destruction of Solnet. Some or all of the Dakka boyz refer to Venus as their "Disfigured mother, lover, goddess Scarred Venus."

### TerraSol

TerraSol, originally Earth in one dominant Terran language, is the cradle world of the humans, the Digital Sentiences, and the Uplift species - due to their influence on the galaxy, it is possibly the most important world in the galaxy. Earth is a large rocky world, with gravity well above galactic standard. It was home to dinosaurs and other creatures for a long time, until a meteor destroyed them and gave rise to mammals. Humans likely evolved roughly 208,000 years before the 6th precursor war. They advanced quickly and aggressively.

Plagued by disasters, Earth was glassed by the Mantid, destroying much of it's ecosystems and historical sites. After the war, the humans dedicated their time to restoring earth's ecologies and biosphere. However, incomplete records, a previous ecological disasters and Terran culture created a combination of lovingly recreaated ecosystems alongside new ecology with new organisms like the Pacific northwest tree octopus. Some organisms that were cryptids before were 'recreated', but records are incomplete and Terrans enjoyed amalgamating popular culture and history to create a new and entertaining understanding of history. While many Terrans know that certain recreated locations or ecosystems are likely inaccurate, the lack of records combined with the entertainment derived from such locations drives them to believe it anyways. Earth has been attacked many times by many different groups, but has survived all of them. Pre glassing, TerraSol was ruled by various nation states that eventually became the Combine. After the Glassing, and after Terrans underwent the Diaspora, TerraSol was ruled by a number of different organizations, including the Imperium(s), the multiple incarnations of the Republic of Beings, and currently the Terran Confederacy.

#### Luna

Luna is the singular Moon of Earth. It is a large moon compared to most, and is home to lots of humans. Luna hosts many humans and Confed members, and ships dock there. Daxin Freeborn docked at Luna when visiting TerraSol during the 6th precursor war.

### Mars

Mars, named for the God of War, is one of the forge worlds of Terrasol where warsteel is worked. The site of the Hate Anvils of Mars, Mars is an industrial center and home to many Terrans; Mantid Engineers are also hatched and educated there in great numbers in complexes supporting them. The Hate Anvils can only be worked by sentient beings. Mars also forges warglass filled with FTL particles that assist targeting systems. Before the Glassing of Terra, Mars had a university that sent expeditions to Earth to restore ecological damage.

### Jupiter

Jupiter is a large gas giant in the Sol System, named for the king of an old terran culture's gods. It has apparently been untouched by the Terran wars compared to the rocky planets. Humans inhabit It's moon of Io. Either it, Saturn, Neptune, or Uranus have been completely surrounded by drydocks for starships.

### Saturn

Saturn is the Gas giant planet beyond Jupiter. It has many moons, the largest of which is Titan. Either it, Jupiter, Neptune, or Uranus have been completely surrounded by drydocks for starships.

### Neptune

Neptune is the Gas Giant beyond Saturn. Daxin Freeborn stopped there to resupply while leaving the Sol System. Either it, Jupiter, Saturn, or Uranus have been completely surrounded by dry docks for star ships.

### Uranus

Uranus is the furthest gas giant from the Sun in the Sol system. Either it, Jupiter, Neptune, or Saturn have been completely surrounded by drydocks for starships.

### Pluto

Pluto is the largest dwarf planet in the Oort Cloud. It is ringed by decomissioned warships that can be purchased cheaply, called Facey McPunchFace ships. Daxin Freeborn purchased one here.
