Earth


 * "So, how is Earth?"
 * "Oh, you know. The same as its been in 2767. Flying cars, mega cities, spaceports. The usual."
 * Isaac Clark and Senge Sarka talking about Earth

Earth, also called Terra', is a large terrestrial planet in the Sol System. It is home to the humans, one of the most sentient and intelligent species in the Milky Way, and is labelled as "the Sol System's Blue World" by Megalons.

Earth was formed over 4.5 billion years ago by dust accreting around Sol and its only natural satellite, Luna begun orbiting it after. Life was formed a billion years later, and evolved later. Sentient humans only appeared 250,000 years ago.

Entering a period of climactic change, which resulted in a drastic rise in temperature, Earth managed to prevail by creating solar fuels and building glass domes around low lying cities. Climate change was stopped in 2249 by the more environmentally friendly technologies. Humanity tackled their biggest problem since the 2093 Graxlan invasion.

Currently the Human population is 374 billion. Most of that population is stored inside the cities, which have a population of over four hundred million. Earth hosted the 2772 Galactic Olympiad.

History
The Earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago from dust accreting around Sol, but at this point, no atmosphere existed and the planet was potentially uninhabitable. Its only natural satellite, Luna begun orbiting it around 4 billion years ago. As Earth underwent more development back then, it also suffered tremendous disasters, including a six mile (10 km) long asteroid which slammed into the planet over 65 million years ago, and theoretically wiped out all life as a result, including the dinosaurs, and the Ice Ages, periods of time when a large amount of the Earth's surface was covered with thick ice, for a varied amount of time.
