Nu-Earth is the name of a planet near 2 suns and a wormhole that is the main setting for the Rogue Trooper fictional universe. Due to its strategic importance the Southers and the Norts are fighting over the planet. This perpetual war has seen the use of just about every weapon of mass destruction, which made the planet toxic. Most life forms became extinct or mutated, and all inhabitants must wear protective chem-suits at all times. Because of this the Souther scientists were instructed to start the G.I. program to create a supersoldier immune to all those dangers.

The planet was originally called Nu-Earth because it was an Earth-like paradise before the war started. Many of its place names have the prefix 'Nu-'.

Important locations crop up in the stories set in the Rogue Trooper universe:-
