Earth, also referred to as Terra, is the third planet from Sol and the first celestial body to have been known to harbor life. It is the planet of origin of humans, who have since colonised dozens of other star systems. For centuries it was the cultural and political center of the Orion Arm, despite being slowly running out of resources and suffering from overpopulation. Earth was partially destroyed during World War III, which led to a rise of sea levels by around 100 meters. It was later completely destroyed during the Great Orion War in 2295, leaving less than half a million survivors on the dying planet.
