Ditto all that. Though the DCP did have a colony on Mars.

There are quite a few empires of Humanity, partly thanks to being transplated from Earth in pre-history and developing seperately.

Terran humans did leave Earth, so it could recover, and possibly for the Jovar who they created, but after the Imperial Civil War and unification of the Intergalactic Human Republic, humans realised Earth unprotected was vunerable.

However, there is a twist. In Rights of Earth, it turns out some Neanderthals were also transplanted before their extinction, and they have returned as a spacefaring species. And with the help if sinister forces who also control the Republic in secret, managed to take control of the Sol system while the Republic helped the DCP fight the Grox in the New Grox Wars, as a sort of cover-up.

Who will be the true owners of our planet is yet to be revealed in Rights of Earth.
