The '''Solar System''' (also called the '''Sol system''') is the planetary system inhabited by [[Human|humanity]]. During the [[Golden Age]], humanity forged an empire that spanned much of the system, but the catastrophic effects of the [[Collapse]] forced humans to retreat to [[Earth]], abandoning their many worlds to various other forces.  
The '''Sol System''' is the planetary system inhabited by [[Human|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 planets (and possibly the sun) of the Solar System are each associated with one of the dark-matter based intelligences that collectively make up the [[Nine]].
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]].

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. It is a gas giant prominent for its Great Red Spot; a giant storm swirling within the planet, and many moons that orbit it, most notably the Jovian Moons. The Moons of Jupiter became a major cornerstone of Golden Age advancements and once the settlements of the House of Wolves.[13]
Io1.jpg Io The third largest and innermost moon of Jupiter. The moon is geologically active with many volcanoes that produce sulphuric plumes and partially terraformed by the Traveler. The Vex occupied and built structures across the moon and fought against the Cabal and Taken. Later the Black Fleet created a gravitational anomaly and the moon has since disappeared.
Europa1.jpg Europa The fourth largest moon of Jupiter. An icy moon comprised of silicate rocks and water-ice crust. Humanity established a colony and Clovis Bray I built his secret Deep Stone Crypt and Bray Exoscience facilities on the moon. It is occupied by the Vex and the House of Salvation, who have also built Riis-Reborn. A Pyramid is present on the surface.[14]
Ganymede1.jpg Ganymede The largest moon in the Sol System, it rivals Mercury in size.
Callisto1.jpg Callisto The second largest moon of Jupiter and third largest moon overall in the Sol System. It is prominent for its Thrall-carved tunnels that were burrowed by the Hive.[15]
Saturn2.jpg Saturn The sixth and second largest planet in the Sol System behind Jupiter. It is a gas giant prominent for its ring system comprised of ice particles and many orbiting moons. In the Battle of Saturn, the Dreadnaught created a massive hole within Saturn's ring system and the Hive warship now lays dormant in orbit within the "C" and "B" rings.[16]
Enceladus.jpg Enceladus A moon of Saturn, once rumoured to house the Deep Stone Crypt, but has since been discovered on Europa.[citation needed]
Dione1.jpg Dione Also known as Saturn IV, it is a moon of Saturn where the Orchard crystals can be found and when exposed can produce a force conduction.[citation needed]
