Basic Description
Humans are found just about everywhere in the Known Galaxy thanks to their adaptive biology. Humans tend to make good spacers, and many have taken the role of nomads traveling the Known Galaxy.
Humans differ from most other mammalian species for the fact that they have exposed skin, which has allowed them to withstand climates with higher temperatures.
Humans originate from Earth in the Sol system. They evolved from Primates and founded the Solarian Federation (now the Solarian State under GalFed), the NRI, and many other minor organizations. After a turbulent history, SolFed was absorbed into the Galactic Federation, and humanity went along with it.
While most humans reside within GalFed in the current age, a large portion has migrated to every corner of the Known Galaxy, save for nations outwardly hostile to them, and even then some make do as nomads, bandits, and pirates. The human stereotype of adaptability holds true even in space. Humans entered space around when many other species did, fully-entering into the space age in the mid 2040s. SolFed erupted with massive growth, sprawling many star systems and colonizing hundreds of planets. Around the 2080s SolFed encountered the Alliance, the predecessors to GalFed, and engaged in a long-standing rivalry with them until 2140. During this period, Sol found itself in 9 wars with the Alliance, winning 5 and losing 4. The last of these wars were a crushing defeat, and left SolFed under the influence of the Alliance. Around this time, the NRI had made its roots in a collection of far-colonies, establishing the second, and eventually the largest Human-led nation in the Known Galaxy. When SolFed was absorbed into the Galactic Federation during its founding, the NRI exploded in population and started a rivalry with GalFed that spanned longer than Sol and the Alliance’s rivalry by a long shot. In the current day and age, the NRI is still the largest Human primary nation, though even they have taken on a massive population of non-humans. What remains of Sol is the Solarian State, otherwise known as SolGov, and it is a bustling state of commerce and military advancement. Human thriftiness is often considered the reason for GalFed’s economic explosion and current dominance over markets across the entirety of the Known Galaxy.
