Biologically, Humans possess very few odd qualities which make them unique. They walk on two legs, have two eyes, two ears, a single mouth and nose. This is not to say that they are not facinating creatures with potential to last for eternity. Humans possess, as previously mentioned, a high level of reasoning and intellegence, with their brains being on much more complex than many other creatures. Humans are also able to vocalize their thoughts through the use of vocal cords. Creating pitches and other noises allowed Human culture to flourish with music and performances making headway into galactic culture. Human movies are often enjoyed on other worlds by alien species. By far the most facinating part of Humans is their use of intellegence and it's effects on them. Homosapiens are often looked upon as the peak of sentient evolution with them being by far among some of the most intelligent cosmic life forms, their intelligence is a gift granted with the ugly side effect of extreme cruelty towards other life which stands in the way and an indomidable sense of pride in themselves. This sense of pride has allowed Human's to outlast many other forms of life, with their species having existsed on the cosmic scale for nearly 1,000,000 atomic years. Humanity has faced it share of problems and challenges, coming near to extinction many times but seeming to always come back with ten times the tenacity of their opponants.
Over the long history of Human civilisation, often societies focused on things such as equality, wealth, and strong traditions. The most successful civilisations on Earth, the home planet of Humans, were known as the Roman Empire and the United States of North America both considered super powers of their day. The Galatic republic combined ideas from both of these civilisations. This created the ultimate superpower, with values of equality, military strength and greatness all coming to the forefront of humanity. The largest downside to this new republic was the extreme xenophobic views held by many as the equality which was given only to Terrans and in moderate amounts to any species which peacefully submitted to their rule. Resistence to the iron grip and iron fleet was seen as futile and idiotic. Whole worlds were destroyed by the republic's iron armada, and billions massacered in conquests seen as being nessecary for the very survival of the species and their grand republic.
As of this day, Humanity is in a much more delicate state, when the galactic collapse happened in the atomic year 72,119 the republic began to grow weak. As the horde began to sweep it's way across the galaxy the political powers of humanity met on Terra and discussed a plan to preseve the species. The eventual solution was to retreat to stronghold systems, concentrated in thirty out of the twelve thousand systems orignally controlled at the peak of the republic. These systems formed a political council which co-ordinated reconstruction and war efforts against the horde. Humanity was able to create the first Maginot system in the atomic year 76,011. This being a system which was so heavily foritfied and well connected to the other systems using slip gates and asteroid gun emplacements, making the system unconquerable. This caused Terrans to adopt yet again that indomable spirit as part of who they were.
As the war goes on, and the horde finds itself surrounded by angry systems hellbent on reclaiming what they lost, the Terrans are preparing their warships and slip gates. Magnificent engines of war are being built at this very moment as the United Terran Colonies prepare to reclaim their mantle of glory and drive out the horde menance.
