Human

"'They are the most dangerous species we ever underestimated, to do so again would be suicide.'     - Korreiv Plau"Humans, also known as 'Humanity' or 'Man', are the sole member species of the Imperial Dominion of Man. They were once a member of the Council of Species, before they were nearly pushed to extinction during the Great Purge. Before that, they were split into three factions: The United Nations of Earth, the Halefore Union and the Athenian State.

Humans are indisputably the species best adapted to warfare in the entire Milky Way. They have earned a reputation over the thousand years since their ascension into the greater galactic community as warmongers and strategic geniuses. Human Commanders-for-Hire are regularly employed by factions within external species to fight wars for them.

Their tumulteous history with the other species within the Milky Way has led to a strong distrust of most humans towards any prey species, prefering the company of their own kind or, in some cases, members of other predator species within the Predator Alliance.

In their distant history, humans were much smaller on average, but since they began terraforming multiple smaller and larger worlds within their borders, this has changed to reflect the vastly differing gravities of these worlds. Some humans have also begun to experiment with seemingly magical abilities that are brought about by medling with the bodies of astral creatures known as 'Outsiders'.

The Imperial Dominion of Man holds almost complete authority over every planet, moon and other stellar object within all of human-occupied space.
