Earth, the third planet in the Sol system, is the name the Humans have given to their home planet. As such, it is the origin of the alternative name for Humans, Earthlings. It is also the original home of the Androsynth clone race, who fled the planet en masse in 2085. Earth is a Water World with a single moon (Luna).
The planet was slave-shielded by the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za after they destroyed the Earth forces in 2134 (or possibly early 2135). As part of the subjugation process, the Ur-Quan established a Hierarchy Starbase in orbit around Earth and also left a battegroup of Ilwrath and Spathi forces, called the Earthguard, to keep watch on the new fallow species.
