Humans are the most dominant species of Sector A1-0. Though their true origins remain unknown, they have formed many large star nations and inhabit densely populated worlds. Their interstellar diaspora has lead them to diverge into multiple communities and sometimes even subspecies. It is often said by other species that no true human exists as there are hundreds of human races all over the Sector.
Biology and appearance
History
The original homeworld of the humans has been lost to time with no accurate historical records persisting to date. Some speculators have pointed out that humans might in fact have an extra-galactic origin, but evidence remains inconclusive. There are also many conflicting theories on the ancestral homeworld as some call it Terra while others prefer the term Earth or Pacifica. What is believed to be true is that there was a massive scattering of sorts as unique genetic differences can be found in isolated nations.
Despite of their ambiguous origin, humans have become a dominant species within Sector A1-0. Be it as a member species or founder species of many star nations, they continue to shape the history through political, military & socio-economic developments. While the species holds the most diverse beliefs of any species, a sizable portion of the Sector's human population show xenophobic tendencies. However, historians have pointed out that this is due to astropolitical developments rather than inherent to human nature.

Humans in Sector A1-0
Humans in the Pan-terran League
The Pan-Terran League is the largest political & socio-economic bloc of humans in Sector A1-0. The organisation aims to form a large defensive, political & socio-economic alliance to promote human culture. To that end, members prefer the term 'Terran' over human and are known for increased xenophobia across their populations although the organisation itself doesn't discriminate openly against non-Terran star nations. This is fuelled by a history of war, which consequently also motivated the star nations to band together to ensure the species or 'Mankind's' survival. The PTL is largely seen to be a prominent expansionist political force. In spite of this, the alliance is open to promote any form of Terran collaboration or culture even with non-member states as can be seen in many friendly treaties with them.
Derogatory terms
Some derogatory terms used by non-humans include 'pink-skins', 'apes' & 'monkeys'.
