Introduction
Human Sphere
Ancient Earth
Emerging from prehistoric Africa, our species was one of many hominids that evolved on Earth. This period in our evolutionary history is a great mystery to scientists, with debate about what caused such a variety of hominid forms to diversify around this time, only to shortly thereafter be overtaken by a single dominant species. Homo sapiens began as a tribal species worshipping totemic animal spirits, but with an intense proclivity for exploration and adventure. This lust for the unknown led us to conquer the planet, spreading to every corner of the globe, speaking many languages, interpreting the universe through many religions, constructing great works of art. We conquered fire, tamed electricity, built great cities, learned the secrets of the universe...
Earth
...And our civilization was mighty. But this came at a cost. Overpopulation was a serious concern as more and more people crowded into less and less land, concentrating resources in cities and sucking dry the cradle of their birth. Wars between great nations swept the land, ravaging all in their wake. As our species increasingly relied on and expanded its technology, the climate itself was changed by the engines of industry. Coastlines were altered by rising sea levels. Ecosystems died out. And then, as the artificially-intelligent minds we had built sought solutions to our problems, one came... in the form of the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine.
FTL
Our species was suddenly able to leave the claustrophobic confines of the Earth, to spread our wings and stretch to fill an infinite horizon of stars.
