Humans

This is the history of the species of Humans. For more species within the Great Ring Galaxy go to Species page.

Humans have an interesting habit of blowing things up. Including themselves. In this world the cold war never really ended. The space race kept raging on. And a third group started to rise. The corporations. They brought peace and stability for a while. They controlled the rapid mining in, at the time, what Humans considered deep space. Which meant there solar system. What other Species wouldn't even consider there back yard.. more like there porch. You would think seeing evidence of intelligent life would help to unite a species. But all it really did was cause more problems. After the Jove introduced Humans to the rest of there galactic neighbors humans got bombarded by all different types of species. You see its always a treat to see new species. Its fun to watch the earlier years of space flight, or how they first start to interact with the universe in a whole new big way. And for some its a chance to exploit a new race. The Jove did explain about these types of nefarious characters but its really no more then a blip on what some species would tell you seamed like an endless side show of information. Most humans ignore it.

Within a few years it had become frighteningly obvious there was issues. Who got what trade? Who deiced what for the whole of the human race? If the Communistic get that latest new tech from so and so then what is the Free World to do? The species of humans threw themselves into a war most didn't even care to fight. And the 3rd great World War started... not even on Earth. Although it was finished on Earth. The Jove do not step in on these matters. They much rather let such uncivilized activities take there course. Its the best way to insure the species learns a lesson and matures. As the AI of the Jove has wisely learned over and over.

Before humanity had even shed its newness too its neighbors it had gained the reputation as being mostly uncivilized killers of there own race. Humanities first impressions on the rest of the galaxy was not the shining moment some would dream for. They came off as a very short sited and backwards species. Humans had nuked there planet almost to oblivion. Had done nearly the same damage to Mars. And had went from nearly 12 billion to 4 billion in less then 10 years. With mass starvation and little land left in their own solar system most left the now pitiful empires of Earth, the Reds and the Blues as they were called by many, now reduced to nothing more then old stubborn and dieing men holding on to memories more then hope.

Having to find new homes and make friends with species that neither wanted them nor liked them. Looked down upon for either their reckless behavior or countless other reputations humans are now seen as the homeless rift raft of the Milky Way. Humanity has a lot to prove to itself and to the galaxy and little means to prove it.
