'''Humans''' are a sentient [[species]] of bipedal mammals, native to planet [[Earth]] in the [[Sol]] system. Since the discovery of faster-than-light [[hyperspace]] travel, humans have rapidly expanded beyond Sol. They primarily populate a region of the [[galaxy]] known as the [[Core Systems]], where they have colonized thousands of worlds and constructed tens of thousands of orbital [[station]]s, and in the 34th century, the advent of the [[Frame Shift Drive]] has enabled colonization efforts in several remote clusters across the galaxy. While a plurality of modern humans belong to a vast array of [[independent]] factions that constantly jockey for influence and power, the majority belong to one of the three superpowers: the [[Federation]], the [[Empire]], and the [[Alliance]]. | '''Humans''' are a sentient [[species]] of bipedal mammals, native to planet [[Earth]] in the [[Sol]] system.

Humans have a robust physiology. They are bipedal mammals and generally strong, fast and agile. They reach physical maturity at around 25 years old with the brain completing development. Then they enter the workforce or continue their education for a profession. The maximum human lifespan is naturally about 120 years, but advanced biotechnology and cybernetics have substantially increased longevity. [[Progenitor Cells]] are used to restore damage in older human cells and greatly extend human life expectancy. | Humans have a robust physiology.
