Earth is the homeworld of both Dolphins and Humans and the birthplace of Terran
civilization. All Terran states in the Earth Colonies Sphere were originally
colonized by settlers from Earth, or their descendants.
Earth is the capital and most important world of the Commonwealth of Earth.
The world suffered extensive ecological damage during the 21st through 24th
Centuries and only recently has most of the damage been erased. Earth of the
31st Century is closer to the 'garden planet' of yore than it has been since
the rise of industrial civilization. Scattered among its vast oceans and
forests are gleaming megalopolises. Exploitation of natural resources has been
abandoned in favor of a balanced stewardship.
