Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to host native lifeforms. It is a rocky planet, the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets, it is also the densest planet in the whole Solar System. Earth was the birthplace of humanity, and for a long time was its home. The Earth has a single natural satellite, the Moon.

History
Around 66 million years ago, the Earth was struck by the Chicxulub impactor in what is now Mexico. As a result of the impact, millions of tons of dust was launched into the atmosphere, causing a prolonged winter. The devastating effect it had on plant life and smaller animals started a chain reaction that caused the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, wiping out the majority of life on Earth and bringing an end to the age of the Dinosaurs. At least, that's what the history books said.

This event would be far more lethal to humanity than anyone could have ever expected, though humanity did not exist to assess the danger back then, they do now. The planet slowly recovered, with each Epoch that passed, bringing us closer to where we are today, a scorched Earth. It wasn't completely bad though, for a brief moment of time, humanity flourished and considered itself to be the pinnacle of existence. With seemingly endless resources, humanity reached for the stars. But without a sense of direction, humanity returned to its roots of war and obsession with technological advancement without a care for the planet they lived on, leaving the Earth scarred.

With this came a slew of natural disasters, ever-increasing in frequency. While climate scientists had deemed the damage irreversible, one group of wealthy individuals had decided to try and repair the damaged planet. The world came to rely on this Emergency Response Agency in combating mother nature's unrelenting force of destruction. Though exploration into the subterranean world for oil and gas deposits would lead to unleashing a much deadlier force that no one was prepared for.
