'''Humans''' are a sentient [[species]] of bipedal mammals, native to planet [[Earth]] and the [[Sol]] system. Since the discovery of faster than light [[hyperspace]] travel, humans have rapidly expanded beyond Sol in a region known as The Bubble ~~or Core Worlds~~. They have settled all sorts of planets from airless worlds to atmospheric worlds. Many [[Station|stations]] have been constructed so that humans can live in space, produce and trade goods and services. Humans conduct many different sorts of activities such as trading and exploration.

The human species, Homo sapiens, evolved from apelike ancestor over the course of 6 million years BC (Before Christ). Scientific evidence shows that humans and the great apes have a common ancestor that existed 8 to 6 million years BC The African continent of Earth is where much of human evolution occurred. 6 to 2 million B.C. year old fossils originate only from Africa.<ref name=":0">[http://humanorigins.si.edu/education/introduction-human-evolution Introduction to Human Evolution - Smithsonian]

=== Colonialism and Imperialism ===

In the 16th century to the mid-20th century several European maritime powers used their technological and military advantages to established colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. European culture and technology spread throughout the world. During the 19th and early 20th century most of Earth landmass was controlled by European powers.

World War I (28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918) was the first global war which originated in Europe. World War II was the second global war from 1939 to 1945 where different ideologies and regimes from classical liberalism to national socialism, fascism to communism clashed in a very destructive war which cost millions of innocent lives. The Allies such as the United States of the Americas and Great Britain won the Second World War. The end of WWII resulted in the defeat of national socialist Germany, fascist Italy and Imperial Japan. The remaining European colonies gained independence. The Soviet Union's communist regime dissolved by January of 1992 which freed many countries.

World War III (2044-2055 AD) was the worst war ever waged across planet [[Earth]]. It brought much destruction and loss of life. Eventually after over one decade of war the fight was gradually abandoned.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x-kaGsHvv0 Elite: Dangerous - Epic History of The Federation]</ref> The dominant power after the Third World War was the United States of the Americas. The remaining other countries joined it over the next few decades and it was renamed to "The Federation."<ref>Tourist Spot 0165 beacon near Earth</ref> Civilization had taken a massive hit and the governments and military alone no longer had the ability to repair the damage done. The corporations of the era stepped in and began the slow rebuild process. This gained the corporations a huge increase in dominance over Earth's political landscape. In many ways this was perhaps the birth of the ideologies that would ultimately influence the Federation. The decade of 2070 saw the first man on [[Mars]] and the first permanent moon base was constructed. This allowed humans far easier access to space and soon many orbital cities were constructed around Earth. This was followed by the launch of interstellar probes, the heavy industrialization of the Moon and the first base construction on Mars.<ref name=":1">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x-kaGsHvv0 Elite: Dangerous - Epic History of The Federation]</ref>

The 22nd century was a time of massive change. Fossils were discovered on Mars proving that life once existed there. Human expansion slowly progressed throughout the solar system. Perhaps the biggest discovery of all time was [[hyperspace]]. The ability to travel faster than light allowed humanity to escape the confines of the solar system. It was discovered in the early 22nd Century, but only since 2800s could consumer ships take advantage of it.[7] Hyperspace travel and spaceships became affordable for middle-class people like cars in the 20th century.[8]

In 2210 the first signals of probes at [[Alpha Centauri]] confirmed a habitable planet existing outside our solar system. From this point on, probes continued to arrive in neighboring star systems and soon life is discovered on Tau Ceti 3. Thus begins a new path of exploration and discovery. With the knowledge that [[Tau Ceti]] could support life, a colony ship was sent there. Before long the first colony to exist outside our star system [[Sol]] was formed. With the proof that life could exist outside Earth, a mass exodus began. Massive ships were constructed to establish human colonies anywhere that may support human life. The expansion of humanity rapidly moved apace crossing the void between star systems. New colonies and ultimately cities were formed. The Federation is dominated by corporations. They control many aspects of life, politics and business within Federation space. Most aspects of life is focused on profit. Whilst [[corporations]] are not above the law, they hold a very wide remit as far as what they're permitted to do in the name of profit concerns. Corruption and even murder are the norm rather than the exception. That said, the Federation does respect human life in its own way and much more so than the [[Empire]].
