Earth

Earth is damaged but biologically vigorous: storms, recovering coastlines, heat, salt, ruins, restoration grids, and dense human settlements stand together.

Recovery and access

Fragmented remnant states, corporate infrastructure zones, and a fragile Solar Alliance shape daily life. Earth can appear abundant beside Mars, while access to essential systems remains tightly controlled.

Reclamation

The Alliance’s Reclamation Initiative works to stabilize infrastructure and trade. John Evans, George Knowles, and their colleagues face the practical and social demands of restoring systems that communities depend on.

A coastal foothold

The Pacific Remnant Outpost supports desalination, health, transport, and reclamation work.
