The Race[]
The Humans
Chances are, if you're playing this game, that you're one of these monkey descendents. Compared to some races, they are quite recently evolved, and their bright agile minds make them strong in technology, but also a little argumentative and prone to internal division.
They are also somewhat rooted in four dimensional space-time and have a hard time grasping the nuances of hyperspace and the psychic realm.Humans survived many wars and resource shortages before forming a democratic world government and launching into space.
They are exceptionally tolerant of alien species, and welcome any sentient beings into their alliance. Despite this, they remain adept in the arts of interstellar war
