'''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 of the [[galaxy]] known as The Bubble. 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.

Humans have a robust physiology. They are bipedal mammals and generally strong, fast and agile. They reach physical maturity at around 18 years old. Then they enter the workforce or continue their education for a profession. The average human lifespan is naturally about 79 years, but advanced biotechnology and cybernetics has substantially increased human lifespans.

Since the late 20st century there's been increased mixing of different human ethnicities. This resulted in certain recessive physical traits becoming rare such as blue and green eyes as well as blonde and red hair.

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.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/586f796c9657ba3357039d07 Galnet News - Galactic News: Hyperspace, Jan 07 3303]</ref> Hyperspace travel and spaceships became affordable for middle-class people like cars in the 20th century.<ref name=":2" />

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 is 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]]. Although the Federation doesn't respect freedom as much as the [[Alliance]]. <ref name=":1" />
