"You'll be good to remember where you came from, grunt."
— Gunnery Chief Ellison to a trainee on Titan.

Earth (also known as Terra in Latin) is the third planet in the Sol system of the Local cluster, and is the homeworld of the human species. The secondary capital of the Systems Alliance and, later, the Systems Coalition, Earth has been regarded by the asari as the most similar to Thessia, as well as possessing some features not so different from Rannoch. During the First Contact War, the turians attempted to launch an offensive to capture Earth, but were countered by Garrong at Charon. On June 2, 2186 CE, the planet came under attack from Reaper forces and subsequently fell during the outbreak of the Reaper War. The planet continued to remain under Reaper occupation, with all of the world's nations having either surrendered, fallen or been devastated. The worldwide resistance continued to fight the occupation until the planet's liberation and the end of the war. It hasn't been occupied by a foreign power since.
