A map of the solar system
The Solar system, known as the Zol system to Garmillas[1] and Gatlantis,[2] is the planetary system home to Earthlings. It's composed of the Sun, the planets orbiting it, as well as multiple smaller celestial bodies. It was the seat of the United Nations and now it is the seat of the Earth Federation.
Overview[]
The solar system inside of the Milky Way Galaxy
The Solar system is a star system situated in the Orion arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.[3] It's composed of all of the objects orbiting around the Sun including nine planets.[4] There are two asteroid belts in the system, one is situated between the orbits of the third and fourth planet, while the second is situated beyond the eighth planet's orbit.[5][6] It is generally divided in inner and outer Solar system, with the inner solar system ending at the first Asteroid Belt. The heliopause, the end point of the Sun's solar wind, is considered to be the border of the Solar system.[7][8]
History[]
A view of the terraformed Mars
In ancient times the Solar system was visited by the Archelias civilization, which seeded its third planet Earth, leading to the development of the Earthling race.[9]
The Earthlings eventually began venturing into space, terraforming and building colonies on the fourth planet Mars around 2111. In the year 2191, warships of the Greater Garmillan Empire entered the Solar system. According the United Nations, this was to be considered trespassing inside of UN territory, leading to the devastating Great Garmillas War, which would render the Earth uninhabitable for the Earthlings until the covert help of another civilization allowed them to restore their planet's biosphere.[8][10][11]
In the following years, the United Nations transitioned into the Earth Federation, which began to expand its borders outside the Solar system and into the greater galaxy.[12][13]
