The Sol system is the seat of the Terran Alliance and the home of both Humans and Teuthidoids (who share a common biological ancestor). The Sol system is relatively mundane, it contains no spatial anomalies, exotic planets, binary stars, brown dwarves, and minimal exotic resources. Consequently, this left the two native species free to develop and advance in a relative state of isolation. No major power attempted to influence them, but there is extensive evidence for visitation and some minor influence by non-native species throughout the system.

Power Groups
- Solar Dynamics – Founded in the early 2000s, Solar Dynamics is a company specializing in solar power R&D, manufacturing, and deployment. Officially headquartered on Earth, their primary venture locations are on Mercury, in underground facilities and surface testing stations. Due to the small size of the staff at their Mercury facilities (several hundred researchers, engineers, and support staff), and the non-permanent basis of staff there (staff is rotated out on 6-month shifts), Mercury is not counted as a colony. The Solar Dynamics facilities are not fully self-sufficient, but they do get fresh vegetables from on-site greenhouses which also serve as oxygen sources. Solar Dynamics is an extraterritorial corporate installation, and as such does not receive representation on the People’s or States Chambers.
Major Hazards
- Intense Solar Radiation – As the closest planet to Sol, Mercury is constantly bombarded with high amounts of solar radiation. The planet is exposed to high amounts of varying frequencies of radiation, making it a dangerous place to be without proper shielding.
- No Atmosphere – Mercury is a barren, airless rock of a planet. Atmosphere suits are required for any species incapable of withstanding a vacuum.
