Sol System
Total Estimated Population in 2870 AD (Pre-Blackout): ~14,209,000,000
Primary Language: Unitan
The Sol system is the home of the human race and the starting point of their expansion into space. There are multiple planets besides Earth, as well as many moons and asteroids, that have been colonized and used to help supply humanity with a variety of resources.
Earth
Diameter: 7,917 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~10,000,000,000
The Birthplace of Humanity. The Earth has gone through countless wars, natural disasters, and extinction events. Now it stands as a beacon of human progress and unity under the United Authority.
Luna
Diameter: 2,159 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~25,000,000
Earth's only moon was colonized in 2040 and used as a hub to send some of Earth's excess population in order to work on harvesting the frozen water beneath the surface. In 2095, Luna was fashioned with gear that allowed it to help regulate the weather on the planet below. Now it is crucial to the survival of those on Earth.
Mars
Diameter: 4,212 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~3,000,000,000
Mars was the next place to be colonized, in 2050. Those stationed on the planet worked on harvesting iron and water beneath the planet's surface in order to send back to Earth. Much work has been done to reestablish a stronger atmosphere for the planet.
Venus
Diameter: 7,520 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~30,000,000
Venus was colonized in 2065 after a collision event caused the planet to obtain its moon. Those that inhabit the solar cities above the planet's surface use advanced technology to harvest iron and other precious metallic ores from the volcanic surface, along with hydrogen and helium gases.
The Belt
Diameter: ~92,000,000 miles (1 AU)
2870 Est. Population: Unknown (~500,000,000-2,000,000,000)
Earth sent multiple ships to the Asteroid belt in 2080 in order to harvest a multitude of substances for Earth, such as water, iron, silver, and gold. The miners were successful and established multiple stations throughout the belt, harvesting as many resources as possible.
Jupiter's Moons
Planetary Diameter: 86,881 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~50,000,000
Some of Jupiter's largest moons were colonized in 2121 to harvest any water and precious metals below their surface. Stations were set up for permanent colonization and work. Many who were sent were prisoners serving life sentences for various crimes.
Saturn's Rings and Moons
Diameter: ~175,000 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~100,000,000
Saturn's rings and moons have been used to send precious materials back to Earth since 2121. Those who were sent there established permanent living quarters throughout the largest asteroids in the rings and send shipments of resources back to Earth every 3 years.
Solaris
Diameter: 44 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~4,000,000
Launched in 2200 AD, Solaris is the largest space station in the Sol System. It is located a few million miles from the Sun and is used to charge solar-powered batteries and send them back to Earth. Due to the heavy amount of radiation that the station was exposed to in its early days, the first workers on the station were prisoners. That changed in the 2250s as radiation shields became more effective.
Eden Sector
Estimated Population in 2870 AD (Pre-Blackout): ~16,195,000,000
Primary Language: Unitan
The Eden Sector is a binary star system that was discovered in 2345 AD and is home to many resource-rich planets. The consequences of Eden have been both beneficial and catastrophic for mankind.
Eden
Diameter: 8,000 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~7,000,000,000
A planet so abundant in resources and minerals that it could have been made of gold. The discovery of Eden and the Eden sector in 2345 marked a turning point in human technological advancement. Along with the planet came the discovery of multiple new elements and energy sources, specifically Edenium crystals.
The planet is orbited by a man-made halo-class ring station known as Garden Station, which spans the circumference of the planet and serves as Eden’s Stardock and the refinery for all the raw Edenium and resources from the planet below.
Gemini Major
Diameter: 10,842 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~5,000,000,000
Gemini Major is within very close proximity to Gemini Minor. Labeled a land giant, this massive grassy planet houses multiple forms of livestock for mankind. It also has very nutritious soil that is used to grow a variety of crops. The planet is primarily used to grow food for Earth and many of the human colonies.
Gemini Minor
Diameter: 4,120 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~5,000,000
Labeled a gas dwarf, Gemini Minor is within very close proximity to Gemini Major and supplies humanity with multiple precious gasses used for fuel and other industrial needs. Those who inhabit the planet live out their lives on floating cloud cities within the dense atmosphere, performing research and harvesting gasses.
Arkadia
Diameter: 4,211 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~4,000,000,000
Arkadia is a large water world with only one 300-mile-wide mountain tall enough to penetrate the surface. Humanity constructed multiple platform cities that float on the surface of the world sea.
Those on Arkadia are either esteemed aristocrats that live on the mountain, or lowly workers, stuck on the platforms. The factories on these platforms purify billions of gallons of water to be sent to Earth and the other colonies where it is needed.
Jericho
Diameter: 6,731 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~150,000,000
Primary Language: Unitan
Secondary Languages: Hebrew, English, Greek, Aramaic, Latin, and other ancient languages
For a while, Jericho was referred to as “New Earth.” This was because the planet was similar to Earth in nearly every way except for the existence of intelligent life. The atmosphere is breathable, the soil is nutrient-rich, and the freshwater is drinkable.
This world is the promised land of the Jericho people, a neo-Abrahamic religious faction within Chronicles of Eden. The planet is largely self-reliant due to its abundance of natural resources.
Zaphyre
Diameter: 5,693 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~40,000,000
Zaphyre is another astrological anomaly. From the outside, it has the appearance of a barren rock. The pressure in the atmosphere is strong and unstable, making starship entry difficult. Atmospheric pressure stabilizes as you go into the planet's crust, to the point of habitability. Further analysis found the planet to be coreless.
Due to the unstable atmospheric pressure conditions, the only way on or off the planet is by way of a massive elevator that extends from orbit down past the crust and into the mantle. Within the planet are countless amounts of precious crystals and minerals that are either studied by scientists or mined by criminals serving life sentences and shipped off-world.
The Ios System
Estimated Population in 2870 AD (Pre-Blackout): 3,180,000,000
Primary Languages: English, French, Korean, Portuguese
4 million colonists left Earth in 2354 before the Great Eden War. The Ios system is a binary star system that they colonized after a 200-year-long trek through space. They have gone through a series of wars in the few hundred years they have inhabited the system.
Agros
Diameter: 8,752 miles
2870 AD Est. Population: ~785,000,000
Primary Language: American English
Settled by the colonists from the Flordia Confederacy. The 2nd farthest planet from the twin Ios suns and the most Earth-like. It is quite suitable for farming on a massive scale and providing agricultural products for the planets in the Ios System.
Indos
Diameter: 9,136 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~845,000,000
Primary Language: French
Settled by the colonists from France. The closest planet to the twin Ios suns with a planet-wide monorail system. Its resources were used to build up a sprawling industrial complex that includes many large cities that process a multitude of goods for the Ios System.
Sifos
Diameter: 5,437 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~550,000,000
Primary Language: Korean
Settled by the colonists from Korea. The 3rd planet from the twin Ios suns. There are various mountains, islands, and marshes across the planet. The people here make great use of hydroelectricity and specialize in medicine and computer technology.
Exos
Diameter: 220,000 miles
2870 Est. Population: ~1,000,000,000
Primary Language: Portuguese
Settled by the colonists from Brazil. The 4th and final planet from the twin Ios suns. The asteroid rings around the gas giant were colonized with a series of connected and unconnected space stations with hollowed-out asteroids. Hydrogen, helium, and various gasses are harvested from the planet's atmosphere to be used as fuel for ships and weapons. The planet also focuses on starship technology.
