Template:SeeWikipedia Template:Species Infobox Humans (Latin: Homo sapiens, meaning "wise man") are a sapient species native to the planet Earth. Humans take a no-nonsense approach, a tough and stern outlook with a view to rebuilding civilization as quickly as possible.[1]
History
With the coming of the Traveler, humanity entered a Golden Age, with much of the Solar System being colonized. Medical and technological advances allowed humans to live three times as long,[2] as well as create a sapient race of machines called the Exo. The Golden Age did not last, however, as humanity was attacked by the Darkness, which decimated their species, until almost all human settlements were completely destroyed. The last human remnants were saved by the Traveler, 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.[3]
700 years after the Collapse, 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.[4]
Technology
During the golden age, humanity's technological achievement had been high. Interplanetary travel was used frequently, creating an empire throughout the Solar system.
Approximately seven hundred years[5] after the end of the Golden Age, humanity appears to have reclaimed some, if not the entirety of, their former technological prowess, albeit at a smaller scale.[3]
