Earth is the third planet in our solar system and the cradle of human civilization. It is a terrestrial planet characterized by diverse ecosystems, vast oceans, and a protective atmosphere. The planet's unique conditions have allowed for the evolution of complex life forms and the development of advanced civilizations.

Earth has one moon, which affects Earth's tides and has played a crucial role in the planet's development.

Environmental Factors

• Diverse Biomes: Earth features a wide range of environments, from tropical rainforests to polar ice caps, supporting an incredible variety of life forms.
• Atmospheric Shield: The planet's atmosphere protects surface life from harmful radiation and helps maintain stable temperatures through the greenhouse effect.
• Water Abundance: Approximately 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water, primarily in its oceans, making it unique among known planets.
• Magnetic Field: Earth's strong magnetic field protects against solar radiation and helps maintain the atmosphere, crucial for sustaining life.

Elemental Sites

• Mark of Ascendance: A monument representing humanity's role in the development of CER0 technology. This site stands as a testament to Earth's significance in the advancement of elemental manipulation and along with the eight planetary shrines dedicated to the concept of the Ascendant.
• Neo Shanghai Marine Conservation Center (Neo Mari): A state-of-the-art facility operated by Flō, dedicated to the study and preservation of Earth's marine ecosystems. Under the guidance of conservationists, the center conducts vital research on aquatic species and develops innovative approaches to marine wildlife protection, combining traditional conservation methods with advanced technology.

Faction Presence

• QuoTek: Maintains significant research and development facilities, though their main operations have moved to Vulcan.
• Flō: Operates its main base of operations on Earth, including the Neo Shanghai Marine Conservation Center, focusing on wildlife research and preservation.

Significance in Interplanetary Affairs

Earth serves as the historical center of human civilization and remains a crucial diplomatic hub within the Intergalactic Alliance. Its strategic position and advanced infrastructure make it a vital center for interplanetary relations and technological development.

The planet continues to be a major source of scientific and technological innovation, particularly in CER0 technology and space exploration. Earth's diplomatic importance has grown with the expansion of human influence across the galaxy, making it a key player in maintaining peace and stability among different civilizations.
