Milky way humans

Milky way humans (WIP)


summery:
Humans of the milky way are relatives of the Laurasians (parahumans) and they share a common ancestor that being homo erectus, the most common species of human in the milky way is homo sapiens as they were spread to many worlds to be used as hosts for terani larvae although other human species do exist and are the result of the Vaalbarans who used homo lauresiensis as slaves but these non-sapien humans are rare in the milky way.

History:

Homo sapiens evolved on Earth in the pleistocene and quickly over a few hundred thousand years became the dominant species of the planet; they absorbed the other human species of earth at the time into their population and became the only human species left on earth.

Around 200,000 years ago Earth was discovered by the Terani and the Terani discovered that humans lived a lot longer than their natural host (the Lepids) and by taking humans as hosts instead of Lepids the Terani could have a far more productive larval stage as they are only able to operate machines in their larval stage using a host, as the adult terani do not have hands or anything.

So humans were taken by the Terani and put on around 5000 worlds over the course of 200,000 years and these humans were allowed to build civilizations and live independently but every 1000 years the Terani would come back to a given planet and harvest a large proportion of the human population to be used as hosts for Terani larvae, they had enough human worlds that no one world would be harvested more than once every thousand years.

In the year 2088 the Terani returned to earth to harvest its human population, there was a massive conflict but ultimately and predictably the aliens won and ¼ of humanity was stolen. This led to a second space race fueled by humanty’s desire for revenge, The USA which had struggled to stay relevant even before the bugs came collapsed into 50 nation states much like the soviet union had. China then became the earth’s biggest superpower and spearheaded the collective human mission to conquer the stars and take revenge on the bugs who had stolen the Earth’s people

In 2154 humanity created its first warp drive but the humans didn’t know how it worked as it was created with AI, and as such the mechanism behind it was completely unknown to the humans that utilised it.

The Earth humans started to colonise other planets that were seeded with life (by the Vaalbarans) and these planets obviously had earth-type organisms on them as they were seeded with life from eocene earth 50 million years ago.

Humanity could easily adapt to the conditions of these worlds as they weren’t extremely different to the conditions of the Earth

However in the year 2171 the humans encountered a civilization of their own species living on a planet called Kepler-186f and the humans of Kepler-186f were not as technologically advanced as the humans from earth as they never had the opportunity to go through an industrial revolution due to there being no fossil fuels on Kepler-186f.

The humans of Kepler-186f were quickly taken advantage of and absorbed into the Earth human civilization now called the United systems, many of the humans from Kepler-186f died due to being exposed to earth diseases and their world was annexed into the United systems and in similar to the doctrine of manifest destiny it was said to be inevitable by the media.

The United systems found many other planets with humans on them and they learnt what the Terani had done, this fueled a new wave of christianity that swept through the civilization claiming that humanity was the true children of god and that aliens were demonic. This christian doctrine was forced onto the humans of dozens of worlds and it was part of a much bigger assimilationist plan that desired to bring all of humanity under 1 flag.

Eventually most of the humans in the galaxy became part of the united systems and the Terani were for the most part defeated by the 25th century this however left humanity under a theocratic authoritarian regime until the cult of tera Gondia found their way to the milky way in the early 2800s and started their own crusade to assimilate humanity this lead to other M81 powers to enter the Milky way and an uneasy truce emerged between the united systems and the Nuna and due to having the Nuna around the united systems had to start adopting more liberal policies as the theocratic authoritarianism wasn’t going to be tolerated by the Nuna and the Nuna were far more advanced than the United systems so a conflict wouldn’t end well for humans of earth.

(the reason the gondia came to the milky way to attack humanity was because a lone Gondia called Theia Fraisure Osmund had found her way to earth in the early 20th century via a Nuna Transportation device and after Theia died and and when she reincarnated in the 2700s the Gondia managed to get the location of earth from her, and then the location of earth quickly became common knowledge to the forces of M81)

But in the 32nd century earth was destroyed by an invading alien species from the another galaxy, humanity fractured into many factions with the united systems fell apart in the aftermath

Facts:

-Unlike the humans of the M81 Galaxy (descendants of homo lauresiensis) homo sapiens have 23 pairs of chromosomes instead of 24

-the first sapient alien species encountered by the united systems was a civilization of Ornithians on a planet only 31.2 lightyears from earth in the system 61 Ursae Majoris they were quickly annexed into the united systems but received harsh treatment on an inter-personal level due to a large proportion of humans believing them to be demonic and not made in gods image but the united systems saw them as useful and their alien technology added to the wealth of scientific data possessed by the united systems, and the united systems was willing to bend the rules to annex these Ornithians because the government of the united systems did not really believe the religious doctrine and only used that doctrine as a tool to control their populous as well as any groups they would annex

-the united systems found the Terani again in the year 2165 and a war broke out that lasted for centuries until the humans took the role of dominant species in their part of the Milky way Galaxy
