The Sol system (also known as Solar System) is the birthplace of Humanity and capital of the Empire. The Imperator, Senate and many other major UEE institutions are based on Earth (Sol III). Among the many historical milestones that the system can lay claim to is the first ever terraformed planet, Mars (Sol IV).

Orbiting between Saturn and Uranus next to the Sol - Davien jump point, this orbital Naval base acts as the main operational center for the main Sol fleet.

TDD Kesner

Main article: TDD Kesner

Orbiting outside the Kuiper Belt, next to the Sol - Croshaw jump point, TDD Kesner is a major shipping hub where most cargo moving to Earth is first processed - to help alleviate congestion on the Empire's capital world.
