The proper term for the Star System which is centered on Sol, its star (thus, Solar), and has as notable planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

A few other unusual properties of the Solar System are its circular orbit around the Milky Way, and placement in a relatively inactive position in the galaxy. Sol is a metal-rich star whose mass allows it to have a Goldilox zone. These factors contribute to the dearth of technologically capable alien civilizations in Solar Storms.
