Homo Superior

Humanity. A plague amongst the stars.

Rapacious, expansionist, destructive, cruel, callous, driven purely by emotion and the most base of instincts. Some of the Alliance would go so far as to call them beasts, animals, savages of the lowest order, but that simplifies the problem humanity represents. An infestation of rampant beasts would be one thing, but no one can deny the cunning and ingenuity of the human race.

Little is known of the history of humanity among the worlds of the Core Galactic Alliance, but what we do know informs us plenty of the human race and their habits. Millenia ago, their homeworld suffered ecological catastrophe - brought on by generations of humanity’s destructive carelessness. **** to flee their home, and with the remaining planets in their system unfit for long-term habitation, humanity escaped the bonds of their native system and spread amongst the stars.

The main thrust of this stellar exodus eventually settled in the Alphion System, beyond the edges of the Core galaxy’s border worlds. There, amidst the lush planets of the system and home to no native organism that could compete with them, humanity proved their foolhardiness, repeating the same mistakes as they had on their homeworld, greedily ripping the planets to shreds in a mad bid to claim resources, stealing away it’s lifeblood without any thought to sustainability or the future. Like children, humanity heedlessly repeated their same mistakes, over and over again.

Yet, it cannot be denied that in this orgy of environmental destruction, humanity proved their resourcefulness and adaptability. Already adept at adapting to new environs and situations, when **** to build their civilization anew on a far-flung star, the human exceeded beyond all expectations. Key to this success was the development and perfection of genetic engineering technologies, so advanced and sophisticated that it surpasses anything the greatest minds of the Alliance could dare produce. So advanced that some member races refer to what humanity does as “gene sorcery”, for it only mysticism and occultism could produce such effects.

Immunity to diseases both natural and foreign. Increased physical and mental abilities. Great increased lifespan. Augmented sensory organs. Rapid cellular tissue regeneration. Such things the humans were able to obtain in only a handful of generations. And, if anything kind must be said of these people, their society is highly egalitarian, as this technology is widespread across all social strata of human society.

It is around this time that initial talks began between the humans of Alphion and the CGA, but both sides were hesitant and withdrawn, no formal agreement being made. Regardless of that, though, humanity continued to expand across the Alphion system, into neighbouring systems, and even began to encroach upon the most remote of the border worlds.

Once more, their recklessness cost them, as they ran afoul of the Ligreon people. Proud natives of Ligri Prime of the far reaches of the Core’s borders, the Ligreon are a noble and peaceful people, if reclusive, but they are fiercely territorial and swift to anger when provoked. War sparked among the edges of the border worlds, with the Ligreons fighting fiercely to repel the human invaders. But despite their ferocity, they were no match for humanity’s numbers, technology, and sheer resourcefulness.

At this point, the Alliance was about to step in in order to broker peace, but then a singular madness took hold of the diseased human psyche: the complete and utter conquest and enslavement of the Ligreon race. Through their extensive development of genetic modification technology and nanotechnology, the humans were able to expand their knowledge to the field of xenobiology, specifically that of the Ligreon people. With this knowledge, they were able to subvert the minds of the entire race after a slow, systemic program, reducing the proud, noble Ligreon people to a race of slaves for their human masters.

Ligreon males were lobotomized, robbed of personality and higher thought, being used as manual labour, soldiers, or breeding studs.

Ligreon females suffered the worst fate, however, their minds and bodies modified to fit the perverse human sexual ideal of the female form, now a caste of attendants, maids, playthings, and broodmares.

A planet conquered. A race enslaved. A culture destroyed. Truly, one of the most horrifying things in the history of the Core Galaxy. Censure was swift, the Alliance barring humanity from further activity, but they couldn't care less about the Alliance and their dictums. The conquest of the Ligreon awakened something dark and barbaric in humanity as a whole, with their entire culture now being fully geared to the conquest and enslavement of any other races they came across.

From the Alpherion system, they surged into the border worlds, first as raiding parties and slaving caravans, but then as full-blown war fleets, conquering cities, moons, and planets with frenzied abandon, turning any alien species they found into mindless servants for their own sick pleasure. And it seems as if all of humanity is in agreement with this atrocious campaign; any resistance is silent and invisible, if there is one.

Rumours abound across the galaxy of humanity and their crimes. Of the sick things they do to captive people, especially females of a species. That they have found a way to steal the inborn psionic powers of the Kalari and graft them onto themselves. That the human females now are no longer designed to bear children, but instead possess monstrous phalluses of their own, humanity exclusively using their slaves to carry their children. The veracity of such stories is unknown; the Alliance bars contact with any human settlement or any settlement subverted by their evils.

But that is all they do, as the Alliance huddles within the central cluster of the Core Galaxy, watching as humanity spreads like a disease across the borderlands. Leadership claims they are confident that humanity would never dare strike into the heart of the Alliance; that they will be content with colonizing the myriad border worlds; that they are waiting for the humans to spread themselves too thin across the stars before launching their counterattack.

Everyday, we watch and wait, while humanity surges and grows, adding more braindead alien soldiers to their ranks; acquiring new technologies and resources; growing bolder and more confident. How could their greedy hearts not be set on the crown jewel nestled in the heart of the galaxy? An invasion of Alliance space seems all but inevitable - maybe not within a decade or a century, but at some point in time - and I pray my people are ready to stand up for themselves and each other when that dark day comes.
