That's probably right about the pollution thing... unless maybe we find a way to make pollution harmless.

Wow, my first instincts about this post was "Oh my god, what a noob" then i read some of the replies and the explanation and then I felt bad about the whole "noob" thing.

How does Earth fit into this, well, i would imagine that as soon as Phase travel became available Humans fled the squalid conditions and overpopulation of earth to colonize other, nearby worlds. Then I imagine earth became much like Europe became after the new world (the Americas) was discovered -like what Africa became after human's first began to immigrate around the globe (no one really considers Africa to be their homeland anymore, other than those who still live there).

The central planets became the ones in the center of the colonies, which doesn't necessarily imply they are grouped around earth, they could be a bit closer to the galactic core, where there are more stars to colonize.

Basically what I'm saying is earth still exists by that name, but it is overlooked either because of pollution or because it's no longer the center of the human empire. there is also a chance that is one of the central planets, but not the central central planet. I say this because if earth was still a central planet it would probably be mentioned.

If you want to fit the story into ours:

I think both tec and andvent are descendants of the human race of "earth".

Fact is Tec would be the one still dominating it since they exiled the advent. And in that case earth could still be one of their main planets or just massively polluted. Both explain why you never find it on maps... It's A) Too deep inside Traders space to be in the frontline and would have to be here your hw it's automaticly fortified. or IT'S TOTALY USELESS.

I highly doubt that earth name would ever be used, cause what if you start a random player game and you don't get tec, would your homeworld be another planet name or earth which doesn't make sense, and besides, if you put earth there, you have to put the solar system there also.

Unless you are playing the distant stars mod

or perhaps earth is gone, either destroyed or completely uninhabitable, a la isaac azimov. or people have forgotten that it was humanity's birthplace. truth is, we have no idea, we can only speculate. i would imagine that earth would have no role in any future campaign, based on the tenor of the game. supreme commander, for instance, the UEF is fighting to save humanity. no such noble intentions in this game

the Advent probably think what they are doing (getting revenge on the TEC for their exile) is noble. But it pales when compared to what the TEC are doing.

As for the Vasari, as much as I like the Vas, they are just trying to save their own skins.

The TEC had a millina of prospartity and peace. They must of been united for that to happen. Its only now that the Vasari and Advent come busting down the door are they fighting. Even then the TEC are united in their cause to survive. Heroic and Noble IMHO. I dont consiter the Advent human. They have progressed far beyond that with their experements and drugs.

I guess its all in how you look at it.

Well everyone has their faults. Granted force exile is not a noble or nice thing. But even so, the Advent have no reason to purge all of the TEC. Even if they want their homeword back. Fine, but most now a days had nothing to do with the exile. Really in all honesty, given the story I say true noblility and honor is lost at this point. All faction have their dark stains.

Tell me about it! More lore would be a plus.

Guess we can only guess. Thats the hard part about debating lore, or creating fan based lore to tie into the tiny tiny ammount of Lore the game gives us. Its a problem we been having when trying to create a Lore based/ Role Playing Leauge.

Vaild point about the trade but then again we dont know if there was great unification some time in the past that the current lore doesnt explain. We know too little to say yeh or nay about any of the races.

Yeah UEF was trying to unite all of humanity but they were doing it by force. (If you want to use the supcom reference) Not noble to force unification upon a group of ppl who want freedom and rights beyond what UEF would give them.

maybe its because the war it would be a main target because its the tecs home

or just dosent have the refinery's they want
