  '''Earth''' (or '''Sol III''') is the third [[planet]] of the [[Sol system]], the [[homeworld]] of [[Human]]ity, and the location of the office of the [[Federation President|President]] of the [[United Federation of Planets]].   Earth is the primary planet of [[United Earth]] and the Federation's de facto capital world.

The first life was formed on '''Earth has been the birthplace ''' from a group of several major [[religion]]samino acids, such as [[Christianity]] and [[Judaism]]. Some of these religions, in one combined to form or the otherfirst proteins, have survived to the 23rd]] and 24th centuryapproximately 3.5 billion years ago (plus or minus two eons).

'''See also:''' From this start, [[sentient]] species evolved on Earth, including [[Human]] and [[Voth]]. These two species share the basic [[Distant Origin theoryhumanoid]]appearance, which may be the result of the genetic seeding that occurred long ago by the first sentient species to inhabit [[HMS Bounty|HMS ''Bounty''the galaxy]]. Tens of millions of years prior to the development of "modern man", the [[Human Voth]] society abandoned the Earth, traveling towards the stars, leaving no apparent trace on Earth of the civilization that existed.  Earth has also been visited, observed, and occasionally manipulated during its history, prior to official [[first contact]] by the [[Vulcan]]s. Such occurrences include Vulcans themselves, although there is still dispute about this as there is no proof or evidence offered by the [[Vulcan High Command]].

During its long history[[Image:San Francisco attacked2.jpg|thumb|<center>[[Star Fleet Headquarters]] on [[Earth]], the existence of the planet has been threatened by both natural disasters and actions of alien intelligences.<br>damaged after a [[Breen]] attack]]

* In 2153During its history, Earth was preemptively attacked by the [[Xindi]], who were unwittingly helping a faction fighting the [[Temporal Cold War]]. Using a smaller, prototype version existence of the planned [[Xindi superweapon]], the weapon destroyed a section this planet has been threatened by both natural disasters and actions of the planet stretching from [[Florida]] to [[Venezuela]], killing seven million peoplealien intelligences.

* In 2154, a working version of [[2153]]: Earth was preemptively attacked by the [[Xindi superweapon]] was destroyed by , who were unwittingly helping a faction fighting the [[CaptainTemporal Cold War]] Jonathan Archer . Their weapon destroyed a section of the NX class ''Enterprise'' before it entered Earth orbitplanet, killing seven million people.

The attack was narrowly averted by the USS Enterprise NCC-1701's oceans.

* In 2367, [[2373]]: a second [[Borg cube]] entered attacked Earth , and was destroyed in orbit but was stopped by the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, moments before it could attack the planeta [[Star Fleet]] armada.

*In 2373, a second Borg cube attacked Earth and was destroyed in orbit by a [[Star Fleet2375]] armada. As : the cube exploded, a [[Borg sphere]] escaped from within the craft and subsequently traveled into the past, where its complement of [[Borg drone]]s attempted planned to prevent Humanity's [[First Contact]] with [[Vulcan]]s detonate a biogenic charge in 2063.[[Image:800px-Earth assimilated.jpg|thumb|Borg-assimilated Earth in the year 2373 of an [[alternate timeline]]]]:''In an [[alternate timeline]]s atmosphere, the Borg were successful at preventing First Contact and had no problem assimilating Earth. The ''Enterprise''-E was the only ship to be aware of the original timeline, being protected by the [[temporal wake]] of the Borg sphere. Assimilated Earth had an atmosphere which contained high concentrations of infecting all lifeforms with [[methanenanoprobe]]viruses, [[carbon monoxide]] and [[fluorine]]. It had triggering a population of approximately nine billion dronesgradual assimilation.''

* In [[2375, ]]: the Borg decided to create another strategy, since all direct assaults on [[Breen Confederacy]] attacked Earth had failed thus far. They planned to detonate in a biogenic charge in Earth's surprise attack on [[atmosphereStar Fleet Headquarters]], infecting all lifeforms with in [[nanoprobe virusSan Francisco]]es, triggering a gradual assimilation. According to during the [[Borg QueenDominion War]], half the population would be drones before the effects were discovered.

=== Climate and geography Geography ===From at least the dawn occupation of [[Humans]], Earth has been a [[Class M]] world by 23rd century [[planetary classification]] standards. Since that time, Earth has had several major landmasses and a wide variety of climatic and surface conditions, ranging from tundra to desert. By the 24th century, Humans had installed a [[weather modification network]] to alter the natural weather patterns of Earth, including dissipating destructive weather phenomena such as tornadoes.
