Sol System
Humanity's cradle and the historic heartland of United Colonies authority.
via Wikipedia: Starfield (video game) · see source
The Sol System is the ancestral home of humanity within the Settled Systems, the region of space extending outwards from the Sol System for approximately 50 light-years. In the 2050s, humanity explored Mars, and in 2156, the Grav Drive was invented. Earth's magnetosphere had begun destabilizing in the late 2140s, gradually rendering the planet uninhabitable, forcing humanity to settle other star systems. The first Grav Drive jump to Alpha Centauri occurred in 2156, with the first permanent colony (New Atlantis) established in 2160. The Sol System remains under the control of the United Colonies, which was founded in 2159, with its capital established on Jemison in Alpha Centauri.
