The '''Sol System''' is the home star system of [[Humans]], [[Martians]] and [[Neptunians]]. The System's host star, [[Sol]], is a fairly typical middle-aged yellow star that formed ca. [[Early history|4.5 billion years ago]]. This star has a collection of 8 planets orbiting it, most with their own moons, as well as dwarf planets and an uncountable number of other, minor satellites.
