| The Union of Sol rests at the core of humanity. The hub between all of the [[the stellar nations|stellar nations]], it remains a center for trade, diplomacy, and intellectual pursuits. Whatever other stellar nations may claim about their place in the galaxy, man is Solar. Humanity has not sailed so far or so wide as to forget its origins, and [[Earth (Planet)|Earth]] is the mutual center. And it shall remain that way, so say the Solars. | The Union of Sol rests at the core of humanity.

| With nearly 60 billion sentients on Earth and most habitable worlds experiencing acute problems of overpopulation, Solars are accustomed to a crowded, urban lifestyle. As necessity pushes planetary populations thousands of meters below or above the ground, or ultimately into space, the stellar nation at the center of humanity faces unique challenges. | With nearly 60 billion sentients on Earth and most habitable worlds experiencing acute problems of overpopulation, Solars are accustomed to a crowded, urban lifestyle.

| - | As the caretakers of Earth, Solars are surrounded by history. Over 4,000 years of recorded history passed before men and women left their homes for the stars, and only the Solars can truly appreciate the ties to the past. As a result, they have radical environmental goals. To preserve Earth's surviving native flora and fauna, they forbid any interference by humanity in the [[Union Preserves]]. On Earth and the colony worlds they've discovered and settled, Solars display the deepest respect for ecological issues. In many cases, they do more than preserve native creatures; they restore damaged biospheres and ensure species survival by elaborate stewardship arrangements. | + | As the caretakers of Earth, Solars are surrounded by history.

| Even while aggressive steps are taken to prohibit the loss of natural treasures, Solars protect Earth's cultures. Human history is filled with examples of extract and endangered cultures. Today, years after humanity left Earth behind, Solar communities and individuals attempt to preserve the human cultures of Earth. Many Solars adopt the lifestyle and fashions of a lost age, such as the precolonial Aztecs, imperial Japan, independent Athens, or 17th-century France. Ethnic origin plays a role, but many Solars join cultures outside their own heritage. Since most Solars take part to some degree, almost every culture that ever was finds representation in the Union. | Even while aggressive steps are taken to prohibit the loss of natural treasures, Solars protect Earth's cultures.
