Human

Overview
Humans (Latin: Homo sapiens, meaning "wise man"), sometimes known as Terrans, are a race of sentient bipeds native to the planet Earth. They developed civilization in the last six thousand years, and managed to develop an interstellar civilization within the last five hundred years. In 2987, some forty years after the collapse of the Collective of Autonomous Systems, humans have spread across the galaxy in droves, taking up work where it presents itself -- humans have set themselves apart in roles as ambassadors, mercenaries and pilots, with some participating in more illicit activities such as smuggling and raiding. After the Terran Devastation in 2943, many humans have lost the feeling of home invested in their homeworld, and they have become acclimated to being wayfarers; though they may have worlds scattered throughout the galaxy, home is wherever fate calls them.

Humans are renowned for two main things in the galaxy, which they proved time and time again in the Perseus Conflict where they fought for the Collective against the Million Kingdoms of K'dul; tenacity and adaptability. Humans were among some of the best shock troops in the Collective, and even in the face of impossible odds fought their enemies to the death and seamlessly adapted any battlefield they set foot upon. It is believed part of this human culture was inspired by the Terran Authority-era of their homeworld, which established a totalitarian regime over Earth and the Sol System until a rebel faction overthrew the Authority despite facing similar imposing odds, and formed the Solar Confederation, which was later replaced by the Unified Federation of Planets in 2626 when humans colonized their first extrasolar planet, Frontier-4.
