Sol System

Sol is a main sequence type G Star located in the Galactic North along the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. In orbit around Sol are 8 planets (including Earth), dozens of dwarf planets, and two main asteroid belts. The Sol System is notable for having Sol III, better known as Earth, which is the homeworld of the Human species. It also serves as the capital system of the Greater Terran Union, the United Terran Protectorates, the Greater Terran Empire, and the United Nations of Earth.

### Tyrum Invasion and Reconstruction

On April 22nd 2089, several objects were detected passing the orbit of Neptune (Sol VIII) by multiple human nations on Earth. Within weeks, it had been announced by the United Nations that these objects were artificial in nature and were on a trajectory towards Earth. On February 28th 2090, these objects, part of an alien empire known as the Tyrum Consciousness were arrived in orbit above Earth and bombarded dozens of major cities. A counterattack was initiated destroying several of the most powerful ships in orbit, and forced the Tyrum to land forces onto the planet. In a war that lasted seven years, Humanity fought tenaciously against the Tyrum and against all odds managed to secure victory against the Tyrum. While the planet was devastated from the First Contact War, an Emergency Coalition began the process to rebuild Human Civilization over the course of decades. Eventually Humanity rebuilt what had been lost and in 2153, the Emergency Coalition was voted by the people to become the sole government of Humanity, forming the Greater Terran Union and the Homeworld Commissariats.

### The Interstellar Age

Using derelict ships from the Tyrum that were orbiting Earth, the GTU discovered the hyperlane network of the Milky Way Galaxy and by 2200 had built various ships capable of travelling this network. After 2200, the Greater Terran Union began to explore and expanded its reach across the stars and soon the Sol System saw millions of people leaving Earth towards colonies in Alpha Centauri, Sirius, and other star systems. By the time of the 25th Century, the Sol System and the rest of the Core Worlds were no longer the sole economic powers of the GTU with planets, systems, and commissariats like the Rodina System in the Outer Rim becoming major economic and cultural hubs, however the Sol System - given it's political and cultural value - was still important to the Greater Terran Union and saw in 2402 – 2416, the terraforming of Mars (Sol IV) and in the 26th Century, the construction of Cygnus Station, a habitat in orbit of Jupiter (Sol V).

During the First Galactic War in a period known as the NEX Uprising, the Sol System was cut off from the rest of the Greater Terran Union due to the NEX Network seizing the Sirius system and the Terran Commissariats were forced to implement Case Black. Soon after, the Sirius system was liberated by the forces of the Aurora Commissariat and thus restored communications with the rest of the Greater Terran Union. While the Sol system was occasionally threatened during the War in Heaven, no battles occurred within it.

By the time of the 27th and 28th Centuries, the Sol System is governed by the National Council of the Greater Terran Union and is notable for have 5 hyperlane jump points, rather than the usual 3 for a star the size of Sol. The star systems that are immediately connected by the hyperlane network to the Sol system are the Alpha Centauri, Banard's Star, Oberon, Tiralam and Irass systems, with the closest gateway to Sol being in the Kasserine system.

### Colonization Era

Around a century before 2159 CE, humanity had begun using experimental wormhole technology in order to travel across the stars. During this time, a region in the Kuiper Belt developed into what was called the "Silicon Valley of the Stars". The establishments of outposts in the Alpha Centauri, Tau Ceti, and Epsilon Indi Systems had occurred but it wasn't until the Old Antares System was travelled to that a world similar to Earth was discovered. A first wave of colonists came to the system shortly after and was made up of peoples from North America, Europe, Russia, and East Asia. With the colonies being set up flawlessly, a second wave of colonists called the Earhart Colonization Program was created and consisted of peoples from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Oceania, and Southeast Asia. The Earhart Flotilla left Earth through the wormholes on March 1st, 2159 CE. However, the flotilla never arrived in the Old Antares System and to the colonies that had been created there.

After 5 attempts to contact the Earhart Flotilla, it was declared missing and Earth, the Sol System, and the established Colonies, mourned the supposed deaths of 6 Million Colonists and an era of colonization was over.

### After the 2159 CE

Shortly after the disappearance of the Earhart Flotilla, Humanity came into contact with the Screk Empire. After this contact, though, the Screk invaded Earth and it's colonies and turned Humanity into a puppet state called the United Terran Protectorates, which was unknowingly, a pale imitation of a galactic state from another reality in order to twist human destiny to be prepared for the return of the Unbidden. Earth was made into the capital planet of the UTP and later the Greater Terran Empire, with the Sol System seeing massive development with the terraforming of Mars and various orbital habitats being constructed.

In 546 AL, after a brutal and destructive planetary invasion, the forces of the Antares Commonwealth and Antares Treaty Organization would liberate Earth from the hold of the Greater Terran Empire, finding Earth twisted into an a world that was no longer recognizably Human and instead was as Alien as those first settled by the Earhart Flotilla. The Antares Commonwealth would begin a massive reconstruction effort on Earth to heal the wounds that the Screk and the Greater Terran Empire had left upon Earth, being one of the largest endeavors attempted by Antares.

On March 1st, 651 AL, the reconstruction effort on Earth was formally over and the United Nations of Earth, a sister republic to Antares, was proclaimed.
