Earth

Earth was the birthplace and homeworld of humanity. It is 5,012 light-years from Astra. Known continents and countries included Africa, Russia, the United States, China, India, and Japan.

Known people from Earth include Polina Livinskaya.

In 2049, a 300 km wide asteroid was discovered to be on a collision course with Earth. With only 8 years until the asteroid struck and wiped out all life on Earth, humanity made plans to evacuate the entire planet to a new habitable world using recently discovered wormhole technology.

However, when the news was revealed to the general public, many old conflicts were renewed as nations fought bloody wars with each other to get access to the new world that humanity had discovered, exacerbated by the new wormhole technology. After the death of billions, the survivors evacuated to the new world, Astra.

Earth was then destroyed by the asteroid in 2057 with debris clouding the atmosphere, preventing sunlight from reaching Earth and causing a new ice age.
