Earth is a planet in the solar system of the Milky Way galaxy. It is the original home world of humans.
The Earth Faction currently occupies and governs Planet Earth. The faction exercised domination and control over all human worlds until the eruption of the Human Civil War which politically divided humanity between those who wish to remain in Earth/maintain loyalty under Earth's influence, and those who wish to break free as independent entities. Earth Faction fought against the Neoanthropinae Revolutionary Alliance (NRA), Ruin, Human Alliance, and Innovation Empire.
Since the advent of the Human-Beast conflict, the Earth Faction aired concerns regarding the speed by which the Beasts had overwhelmed the other spaceborne factions. In CC 129, the Earth Faction decided to preemptively isolate themselves from the rest of the universe to prevent the Beast threat from advancing to their territory. Earth maintains its isolation even in the current setting of the Knight Run series.
The AE had plans to reestablish contact with Earth through the Earth Strike Plan during the Age of Humans. Unfortunately, it did not push through due to the setbacks caused by the War of Prayer in CC 430 and beyond.
History
- Main article: Cosmic Century
With the start of the Space Age, humanity began shifting into a spaceborne species by mastering space travel and expanding colonization efforts beyond the Solar System.
Governance
The Earth Faction maintains the integrity of their rule as the sole unified universal government for all humans. This insistence of right to rule frustrated many far-flung human colonies who have their own aspirations for self-governance and domestic rights. Eventually this led to an inter-galactic independence war that further spiraled into the Human Civil War.
