The Sol System as depicted in the Director

The Sol System is the planetary system inhabited by Humanity. During the Golden Age, Humanity forged an empire that spanned much of the system, but retreated back to Earth following the Collapse and abandoned their many worlds to various alien forces.

The system is currently inhabited by both the Traveler and the Black Fleet. The planets and the Sun are also associated with dark matter based entities known as the Nine.

Notable celestial bodies[edit]

Celestial Bodies
Image Celestial Body Description
Sun1.jpg Sun Also known as Sol, it is the native star of the Sol System.
Mercury1.jpg Mercury The first and closest planet to the Sun. Mercury was transformed into a garden world by the Traveler. Later, the Vex converted it into a planet-sized Machine World.[1] The planet disappeared due to a gravitational anomaly caused by the Black Fleet.
Venus1.jpg Venus The second largest terrestrial planet, it is a volcanic jungle world and home to the Ishtar Academy; humanity's greatest center of learning. Occupied by the Vex and the Fallen House of Winter, and home to the Vault of Glass.[2]
Earth1.jpg Earth The largest terrestrial planet and homeworld of the Human species. Due to heavy presence of alien enemies such as Fallen, Hive, Cabal, and Taken, the only safe Human settlement is The Last City. Notable cities such as London and Manhattan are unfit for Human habitat.[3]
Moon1.jpg Moon Also known as Luna, it is Earth's only proper natural satellite. Humanity established a small colony to supply the rest of the system. The Hive built a stronghold around a Pyramid. The moon also has a minor Fallen and Vex presence.[4]
Mars1.jpg Mars The fourth planet and the third largest terrestrial planet in the Sol System. Humanity established the city, Freehold, and built BrayTech Futurescape and Rasputin. Occupied by the Cabal and Vex, with the Hive presence by Hellas Basin.[5] The planet disappeared due to a gravitational anomaly caused by the Black Fleet. It has recently reappeared for unknown reasons.
Phobos1.jpg Phobos One of the two asteroid moons orbiting Mars, the Psion Flayers altered its natural orbit.[6] The Cabal established an outpost for the Skyburners until the Taken invaded and destroyed their base.[7]
Deimos1.jpg Deimos The smaller asteroid satellite of Mars. It can be seen above the Meridian Bay sky opposite Phobos.
Ceres1.jpg Ceres A dwarf planet and largest object in the main Asteroid Belt. It was destroyed by the Awoken after they attacked the House of Wolves colony with Harbingers.[8] The space station Cocytus once fell into the control of Crota and continues to orbit the dwarf in a heliocentric orbit.[9] During the Taken War, hundreds of Hive Seeder Ships landed on Ceres.[10]
AsteroidBelt1.jpg Asteroid Belt A ring of many solid, irregularly shaped asteroids located within the orbits of Jupiter and Mars. It is home to the Awoken who have settled on a field of debris called The Reef and on asteroids such as 4 Vesta, 2 Pallas, 10 Hygiea, 65 Cybele, and 5560 Amytis.[11] A series of conflicts spanned across the belt called the Reef Wars.[12]
Jupiter1.jpg Jupiter The fifth and largest planet in the Sol System.
