Humans (Latin: Homo sapiens, meaning "wise man") are a sapient species native to the planet Earth.[3]

Overview

Humans are tough and resilient descendants from those who built a Golden Age. After an age of retreat and desperate struggle, they fight alongside their Guardians to take back the solar system and claim a new future. They maintain a no-nonsense approach and a stern outlook with a view to rebuild their civilization as quickly as possible.[4]

History

During the 21st century [5], humanity detected a mysterious artifact[6] performing inscrutable activities on Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus.[7] As it arrived at Mars, humanity launched the Ares One mission to make contact. [8] In the years since, the Traveler, rain washed over Mars and fresh air cleansed the skies over Venus. Soon after, humanity raced into the black, and colonized these newly remade worlds. Beginning a time of miracles known as the Golden Age.

But the Golden Age would not last. The Golden Age came to an end with the arrival of the Darkness,[9] which attacked humanity, forcing it to retreat back to planet Earth where the Traveler sacrificed itself to push back the Darkness. The survivors of the Collapse banded together and built a Last City beneath where the Traveler's broken shell rested over the planet.

In the years after the Collapse, came a time of vast suffering and terrible evil, but out of it, the Awoken emerged, and the Exo appeared from the ruins with their memories broken. [10] Many survivors formed colonies in the wilderness in a desperate attempt to survive, but alien hordes or infighting caused them to fall. Humanity was on the fringe of extinction.[11] As the Ghosts began their search, the earliest Guardians chose not to protect the world, but subjugate it, until eventually Guardians with integrity chose to stand up to their warlord brethren in the form of the Iron Lords.[12] As time went on, more and more noble Guardians joined the cause until an an army hundreds strong was formed and the oppressive warlords were deposed.[12] And in the shadow of the Traveler, a city began to grow.
