Humans
Spread liberally throughout the galaxy, humans are a
diverse lot that seem to enjoy nothing better than colonizing an area,
turning it into an empire, and then having a bunch of other humans split
off from that group to go start an entirely different empire somewhere
else. It is practically impossible to determine the exact origin of the
race as they are well spread and very diversified in the places they
have built, destroyed, rebuilt, and merged into various civilizations
and political structures throughout the galaxy.
Humans are extremely adaptable and tend to specialize
to suit their surroundings. They can develop into exceptional leaders,
warriors, scientists, or businessmen. In other circumstances, they are
excellent pack thinkers, excelling at mediocrity and not standing out
from a crowd of their fellows.
The Humans share extremely similar DNA with the
Bjaki and Celendriennes.
Kharkosanth
Humans of the Kharkosanth Empire tend to be dark haired and dark
skinned. Millennia ago, they split and settled
Cyarkos with a group of
dark Iliene. They are very intelligent and aggressive, believing that
the only way to save the universe (and consequently themselves) from
entropy and the ongoing hostilities of its inhabitants is to enslave and
structure said inhabitants. Kharko humans are exceptionally tough,
strong, and vicious fighters from a highly militaristic society.
Skalds
The Skalds are short, wide,
solidly built humans whose culture has evolved in the Farrago around the
harsh and ecologically competitive world of
Llothu. The Skalds are
naturally aggressive and divisive, their homeworld having spawned four
unique galactic powers that, depending on prevailing political climate,
work together, separately, or against each other. The empires of the
Skalds include the Yanti Rikiru, Chesh
Tarkha, the Kingdom of Lissing, and the Democratic
Republic of Domos.
Stewarts
Stewart is a harsh, hard, dry world consisting of rock and sand and
having an immense gravity. Settled millenia ago by humans that adapted
and evolved to suit the climate. Stewarts are a short, immensely strong,
proud sub-class of average humankind. Survivors, warriors, and farmers.
In archaic times, the Stewarts fought a brief guerilla war against the
early
Kharkosanth Empire. Their determination and prowess lead the
Kharkos to
approach them with a non-agression pact and offers of trade.
Valgarad
During prehistory, humans settled
Valgarad,
Caragon, and
Galadras, spreading in from the
Prodigal Void. At some point
in the murky past calamity struck and the entire colonization
effort was thrown back into the dark ages, completely
isolated. Life on Valgarad and
Caragon struggled on, while
Galadras died out entirely. The Valgarad grew to eventually
rebuild a small, struggling trade empire on their warm,
agricultural worlds. They grew to rebuild
Galadras and
colonize Tiaramyu. With the coming of the
Makkuth and
Skalds,
the Valgarad became enslaved workers and assemblers, little
more than a commodity to be captured and traded by the other
empires of the Farrago.
