The Solar System as depicted in the Director

The Solar System (also known as Sol System or simply Sol) is the planetary system inhabited by Humanity. During the Golden Age, humanity forged an empire that spanned much of the system, but retreated to Earth following the catastrophic effects of the Collapse and abandoned their many worlds to various other forces.

The system is currently inhabited by both the Traveler and the Darkness, the latter is in the midst of sieging the system with its Black Fleet. The Planets and the Sun are also associated with dark-matter based intelligences that make up the Nine.

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.[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 minor Fallen and Vex presence.[4]
Mars1.jpg Mars The fourth planet and the third largest terrestrial planet in the Solar 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.
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 theur 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]
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.[9] A series of conflicts spanned across the belt called the Reef Wars.[10]
Jupiter1.jpg Jupiter The fifth and largest planet in the Solar System.

The Moons of Jupiter became a major cornerstone of Golden Age advancements and once the settlements of the House of Wolves.[11]
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.
Ganymede1.jpg Ganymede The largest moon in the Solar System, it rivals Mercury in size. The Vex have mentioned to have a large presence on the moon with structures.
