Heliopolis

 

Heliopolis is an agricultural world of hierarchies and families. The world is among the earliest settled by religious colonists from the moons of Jupiter. Since landfall, and terraforming, Heliopolis has seen vast increases in population and had sent out colonists to the stars. Today, the world of Heliopolis is a religious centre with the faithful making pilgrimages to the many shrines, temples and churches here.

Star marines are the defence mainstays of Old Earth and have been frequently deployed throughout the solar system.

Old Earth

 

Teeming humanity has led to numerous arks of colonists leaving the solar system for new worlds. Old Earth remains dreaming, dreaming of a time of former glories, now faded and decadent. The Great Migration of several hundred years ago has led to a mass migration for the stars. Young worlds were established in the resource rich worlds beyond.

The world capital on earth, Unity City, groans under the strain of multitudes and old wars. The capital is now a city of  memories, a city of history, a museum of mankind.
