The Sol System, otherwise known as the solar system, was a star system located in Sol Sector of the Core Systems. The Sol System was the center of human civilization and contained Earth, the species' homeworld, as well as other worlds colonized by humankind including Mars and Titan. As such, the Sol System was the power base of various human governments including the Three World Empire, the Union of Progressive Peoples, and the United Americas, and human enterprises such as the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.
