draft of an improve lore page on humans
Humans represent the primary humanoid population of the galaxy. Being the first species to develop advanced space technology, they quickly established a foothold (primarially under the flag of Sol Central), placing them in a strong position as other species came into play. Humans are perhaps the most diverse race in the galaxy, known for both terrible hatred and bloodshed, along with sparks of greatness; humans are generally regarded as wildcards by other species.
Game Mechanics
- Humans are a playable species with no karma price.
- Humans speak primarily Galactic Common (GalCom). Most humans can also be expected to have a working knowledge of Sol Common (SolCom).
- Humans can wear all standard NanoTrasen gear.
- Humans possess no extra-normal abilities, and can generally be considered the point of comparison for other species.
Physiology
Humans are considered some of the most adaptable and resilient organisms in the galaxy.
Physiologically, they are incredibly standard, generally considered to be a galactic baseline, standing at an average height of 6 feet (1.82m). As with the majority of space faring life, humans require oxygen to survive, and collect their nutrients through eating. However, humans are notable for their ability to survive in almost any condition; short of an immediately lethal environment, humans can survive severe temperatures or environments which lack easy access to their needs long enough to formulate a survival solution. Although likely outmatched in any given environment by another, more specialized, species, humans are perhaps the most versatile.
Society and Culture
VERY WIP Human social structure has grown to be based primarily on the tenet of freedom, following millennia of wars over ideology. Sol Central is known to exert little control over humans, making way for corporations and crime to take a grasp. Human society is unequal, but fair; a rich man has more power than a poor man, but a poor man isn't inherently worth less.

Relations with other Species
Historically, humans are not accepting of other species. In most cases, their prejudice causes violence. However as time has passed humans have become more accepting.
