History
In the near future, due to numerous factors, life on Earth becomes very difficult. A changing climate brings increased warfare. A host of new diseases arise. The economy crashes. With the arrival of affordable space travel, the construction of large-scale space habitats, and the colonization of nearby bodies, people leave the Earth in droves, seeking a better life elsewhere. A great diaspora ensues, and the remaining governments unite with the United Nations to clean up and restore the economy on our home planet.
Later, Earth’s position as the main hub of commerce and communication among the inhabited planets led it to become the capitol of the Planetary League. Earth remained the capitol, growing in wealth and sophistication throughout Era-1 until it fell at the close of the Great Reckoning.
After the Great Reckoning, the Emperor maintained a palace on Earth, even though the capitol of the Holy Empire of Man remained on Gabriel, where it was founded. The holy cities and sites of Earth thronged with pilgrims seeking miracles, and a very substantial garrison was built up.
Earth was liberated by the Galactic Republic in one of the major battles of the War of Galactic Unification.
One of the unique features of the Earth is its single large moon, which is considered a sign of good luck in the Empire of 1,000,000 Suns.
