In the game Starfield, the Earths fate is revealed through various sources, including in-game dialogue and museum displays. Here's what happened to Earth in Starfield:
-
In the mid-2100s, the entire population of Earth was forced to abandon the planet due to the discovery of Grav Drive technology. This technology allowed humans to travel to other planets and star systems, making Earth's resources and environment less important.
-
Earth lost its atmosphere, making it uninhabitable for humans. The exact cause of this atmospheric loss is not specified in the game, but it is a significant factor in humanity's decision to leave the planet.
-
The leader of the Constellation, Sarah Morgan, clarifies the absence of human life on Earth, indicating that the planet's atmosphere was the main reason for the evacuation.
-
A museum display in the MAST building in New Atlantis city showcases the history of Earth's abandonment and the subsequent colonization of other planets by humanity.
-
The game does not explicitly state whether Earth is completely destroyed or if it still exists in some form. However, it is clear that the planet is no longer suitable for human habitation.
-
Some players speculate that the Earth's condition in Starfield is a result of environmental degradation and resource depletion, similar to real-world concerns. However, the game does not provide specific details about these factors.
