Earth is the homeworld of the Human species and is currently the only terrestrial planet in the Solar System apart from Mercury. [2][3][4][5]
Overview
In the wake of the Collapse, most of the planet's surface lies in ruins except for the Last City, which was built beneath the Traveler's protective aura.[citation needed]
Earth is continuously threatened by various alien species who seek to claim it for their own ends.[citation needed] With the help of the Traveler's Light, the Guardians fight to protect humanity's home and retake its lost lands.[citation needed]
History
In the time before the Traveler, Earth had begun to suffer from overpopulation, and had become overcrowded.[6]
