Description

In the 8th millenium, current human civilization falls. Space travel and technological civilization aren't re-created until the 17th millenium. 24,000 years after that, mankind has radiated into many different species and terraformed the inner Solar System, colonized the asteroids, the moons of the gas giants, Oort's cloud, and they have set colonies on dozens of the nearest stars.  
This painting shows the inner Solar System during this golden age of mankind.

Mercury: It was moved and now orbits Venus at a distance of 750,000 kilometers. This gives Venus tides, a faster and more stable rotation and a magnetic field (Because of the rotation). Mercury people was benefited too, since the planet became terraformable on its new orbit. The red plants were imported from Venus.  

Venus: The capital of the Solar System. Its black soil is because of the graphite produced by the Bosch reaction used to reduce the original CO2 atmosphere during the terraformation of this planet.
Venusian plants are red as a protection from the light and heat, and because the original settlers wanted Venus to be different from Earth.
Also most of its fauna is made out of re-created organisms from different time periods: Dinosaurs (obviously), giant amphibians, placoderms and Burguess Shale critters.   
It must be noted that those creatures aren't made from the DNA of the original animals, instead they are just look-alikes created from animals that resembled (or were related to) the thing the terraformers intended to recreate.  

Moon: Very Earth-centric both culturally and biologically. It was the first world to be terraformed, and all of its biosphere is descended from Earth plants and animals.

Earth: It was depopulated in the 31st millenium, but now it hosts a large human population again. Still it's the less populated of the five worlds.

Mars: The second world to be terraformed. Very cold and with a biosphere composed mostly by pleistocene organisms.

How about the idea of Jupiter's moon Io becoming Mars new orbital satellite. It can make the planet earth like, as well as help the planet to generate a strong magnetic field...
