Luna, often referred to as the Moon, is the only natural satellite of Earth. Humans began settling on Luna in 2080.[1] As of 2525, the Luna OCS Academy was located there.[2] Due to its still barren face, one can assume it has not been terraformed, probably a result of Luna's low gravity and lack of atmosphere. It is likely Luna was evacuated during the Battle of Earth.
