Humans (Latin: Homo sapiens, meaning "wise man") are an intelligent race native to the planet Earth.

History

Before the events of Destiny, humanity had gained considerable technological advancement. This technological advancement led to a Golden Age, with much of the Solar System being completely colonized. The Golden Age did not last, however, as Humanity was attacked by an entity which decimated their species, until almost all human settlements were completely destroyed. The last human remnants were saved by the Traveler, a massive spherical being of unknown power, which sacrificed itself to stop this enemy. After the sacrifice of the Traveler, humanity began to re-explore its old empire, creating a city beneath its resting place. [1]

By the events of Destiny, humanity was in the process of reclaiming their past empire, with the city as the base of the remnants of their civilization. The city is constantly under siege from various races who appear to have also made it their goal to claim humanity's now lost empire and fight humanity for dominance of Earth and the Solar System.

Technology

During the golden age, humanity's technological achievement had been high. Interplanetary travel was used frequently, creating an empire throughout the Solar system.

During the events of Destiny, humanity appears to have reclaimed some, if not the entirety of, their former technological prowess, albeit at a smaller scale. [1] The city's Guardians can utilize some of the powers of the Traveler, through unknown means. Guardians are split up in three different classes: Hunter, Warlock, and Titan. All classes have their own special abilities.
