 Little is known about Earth or its history during the events of FreeSpace. Earth seems to have been an important part of the Terran industrial base, and the [[Galactic Terran Alliance]]'s economy apparently suffered greatly after it became separated from Earth. For example, after Earth was cut off, the GTVA lacked the gases to build the [[GTW Prometheus|Prometheus]] plasma gun until the discovery of the [[nebula system|nebula beyond Gamma Draconis]].
-Earth's fate after 2335 is unknown. The FS2 techroom description states that, without support from its colonies, Earth would have had to drastically change it's political system. Two main theories emerged after the loss of Earth: the system had collapsed into anarchy, or had survived and remained a stable society.

 All efforts to communicate with Earth have failed. This is odd, as Earth should have been able to pick up any radio transmissions from its colonies even without subspace communication; the nearest friendly system ([[Alpha Centauri]], controlled by [[Vasudans]]) was only five light years away.

 Though there is no canon evidence of a return to Earth and the Sol system, it is stated at the end of the FreeSpace 2 cutscene that in decades, the GTVA would be able to build a subspace portal similar to the Knossos and return to Earth. Many campaigns feature returns to the solar system.

 ==History==
-Because of the largest part of the indrustry was moved to space stations and colonies, the environment of the Earth slightly recovered, inspiring the Terrans to make efforts to save their homeworld from destruction. The previously polluting technologies have been made more environment friendly and the atmosphere was purified of poisonious gases.
+{{spoiler}}
-In the long run, the population of the Earth dwindled, again decreasing the level of air pollution and the needed resources to be mined out. After discovering [[subspace]], the humans were able to mine from other planets and export the resources to Earth.

-In the [[The 14-Year War|Terran-Vasudan War]], the Earth and the [[Sol]] system took a major role. A large part of the [[Galactic Terran Alliance|GTA]]'s factories and shipyards were orbiting around the Earth or other planets in the [[Sol]] system.<br>
