Earth
The battered homeworld endures ash, hunger, power failure, and continuing terror after the Free Navy's asteroid strikes.
Story so far
Three months after three impacts, Earth is still visibly broken. The Laghouat strike has thrown Saharan dust through the atmosphere, leaving cities such as Greater Abuja under ash, intermittent power, damaged communications, swamped clinics, and rationed food and water.
An alert of another incoming rock demonstrates that the attack is not emotionally over even when the remaining UN Navy intercepts it. For people on the ground, every bright streak in the night sky has become a possible announcement of death.
Appearance
Earth is seen through Greater Abuja: a yellow-gray ash sky, red-filtered sun, blacked-out streets, dust-streaked buildings, and Zuma Rock looming above a damaged city.
Role
Earth is the wounded center of the system-wide war and the civilian cost against which Free Navy rhetoric is measured.
