Gaia

The crown jewel of Humanity and it's wounded cradle.   We expended legions of soldiers, whole fleets, and Higher Order beings to prevent the fighting from spilling out on the surface of Gaia itself.    It didn't stop them, in the end.
    While the fighting did not contain the terrible nature bending weapons the start of the war deployed, it was no less terrible. The enemies we had made were dogged in their pursuit out blood, and their weapons opened great wounds on the lpanets surface. Cities were erased from existence, swaths of the population wiped out in the time between breaths.   When the war had ended, none who had seen the war start would have recognized their home.   Humanity has yet to fully reconquer their homeworld, and in the meantime many of the alien species have moved into the empty spaces to form enclaves, towns, and cities of their own. For now, everyone pointedly ignores what that means for conflict in the future.

Ecosystem

While Gaia's ecosystem has largely remained the same as it was historically, it would be impossible for it to be exactly the same after the Great War.    A few locations have had massive shifts in ecology due to weapons or technology deployed during the war, and several anomalies of physics have been created across the surface. Certainly not a unique existence for any of the planets in the Solar System, but their existence on Gaia's surface has a bit more weight.
