The Sol System as depicted in the Director

The Sol System (also known as Solar 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.

	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.
	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.
	Ganymede	The largest moon in the Sol System, it rivals Mercury in size. The Vex have mentioned to have a large presence on the moon with structures.
