See the backstory page for a overview of human history.
To summarize, Humanity is the dominant race in the known Galaxy. The only other known intelligent and sapient race (To Humans anyway) are the Lizardpeople, who are subjugated under the control of the United Earth Government for reasons many either don't know or don't want to remember.

Overview[edit | edit source]
Humanity finds themselves as the most numerous race in the galaxy due to the great expansion and as such usually make up the most of a particular station or ship’s crew. As far as humanity is concerned, they are the strongest, most populous, and dominant species in the galaxy. There is no doubt of undiscovered races, but any strong enough to pose a threat are far beyond the veil of darkness that surrounds the races and their exploits in the current day and age.
Humans evolved from ape ancestors and much of this history has been well documented and studied all throughout human history. They originated from Earth. Which is a goldilocks planet orbiting the yellow star Sol, the surface of Earth is composed mostly of salt water and rock. Humans still resemble their ape ancestors but have leapt a large evolutionary gap which has influenced who they are to this day. On their planet, they have the largest brain to body ratio and as such are highly intelligent. Humans are also tenacious beings, able to set out and accomplish anything they put their minds to.
As omnivorous bipeds they can eat just about anything but typically enjoy fried food. With such a variety in diets and being able to eat anything they come across, it has been easy for them to spread far and wide across the galaxy in a relatively small amount of time. Humans use sexual reproduction to produce offspring that carry genetics from both of their parents. Humans produce one or two children most commonly, though more extreme cases of multiple pregnancy of up to eight have been documented.
Roleplay[edit | edit source]
Humans of the 23rd century hold social values remarkably similar to the Humans of the 21st century, even down to much of their technology intentionally taking the appearance of items and aesthetics of 21st century technology. This is due to a combination of much Human knowledge being lost in the shard detonation of 2222, and a sense of nostalgia over days gone by. This also means Humans communicate and act in a manner similar to what people of the 21st century do.
Humans had once held a smug sense of superiority over non-Humans. However many Humans either have no opinion, or even are supportive, of non-Humans. Certain fringe organizations hold a far more progressive view on non-humans. Whether this is due to these groups being more open to non-humans, or simply due to them desperately needing anyone with the right skill set irrespective of their species, is up to debate and personal interpretation.
Due to the bloody conflict between The Federation and The Syndicate, much of humanity holds strong opinions about the war in its current day. Much of Federation propaganda has influenced the recent generations for humans to be prideful of where they come, to fight to the last bloody tooth and nail, and to look up to the moon and know why they’re fighting.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
