Humans are one of the dominant species in the universe, having spread across multiple planets and star systems. Their adaptability and ingenuity have allowed them to thrive in various environments, from the terraformed landscapes of Mars to the harsh, volcanic lands of Vulcan.
Physical characteristics of modern humans vary greatly due to both natural evolution and technological advancement. The average human stands between 5'4" and 6'2" tall, and their bipedal form remains largely unchanged. Many sport cybernetic implants or modifications that improve their natural abilities or grant them new ones. These can range from neural interfaces for seamless interaction with technology to physical augmentations for increased strength or durability. They can easily shift physical traits such as hair color, eye color, and skin tone. Some choose to maintain their natural appearance, while others opt for more radical modifications like bioluminescent skin patterns, metallic integuments, or even non-humanoid features. These modifications have become an important form of self-expression in human culture.
Humans in this era have benefited from advanced medical technologies and genetic enhancements. These advancements have led to significantly increased lifespans, enhanced immune systems, and resistance to various diseases. Additionally, genetic optimization has improved cognitive functions and physical capabilities, though strict regulations govern the extent of such modifications.
Humans in this era possess enhanced abilities thanks to current technology and genetic modifications. They can seamlessly interact with technology and modify their physical appearance and abilities. Their greatest strength lies in their adaptability and ingenuity, allowing them to thrive across various environments from the arid climate of Mars to the volcanic lands on Vulcan. This adaptability, combined with their technological advancement, has helped establish humans as one of the dominant species in the universe.
Human society is characterized by technological advancement and diversity across multiple planetary settlements. Despite their spread across the galaxy, humans maintain complex social structures and political divisions.
Various factions represent different ideologies and approaches to technology, particularly regarding CER0 use. Major organizations like VISION, Mirage, and QuoTek reflect the diverse perspectives within human society. Organizations like AEGLE demonstrate humanity's commitment to humanitarian causes, providing emergency response and medical care across the universe.
Modern humans extensively use cybernetic implants and genetic modifications to enhance their capabilities. Many interact seamlessly with technology through neural interfaces, while others opt for physical augmentations. Personal appearance modification is common, with individuals able to alter traits like hair color, eye color, and skin tone at will.
As one of the dominant species in the universe, humans frequently interact and collaborate with other races. They have established settlements on various planets and maintain diplomatic relations with species such as the Aanuh Ka'ri, Akrulans, and others, though these relationships vary from peaceful cooperation to occasional conflict.
