Soul Assimilation Status Nearly complete and conditionally open (pesumably only infant to juvenile hosts)

Earth is a planet the Souls have colonized by assimilating the majority of it's sentient inhabitants. It has many names due to it's many languages.

It's known sentient inhabitants prior to the Soul invasion were the humans . Almost all humans are now hosts for the souls. Some humans remain, but the captured adults are no longer wanted as hosts, due to the risk of their mind being too strong to subdue. Juvenile hosts are the only ones used now. Wanderer and Jared saw a lot of occupied cryotanks being taken int the maternity ward, which infers that a soul can be inserted into a newborn.
