General Informations - The Humans The founders of the United Federation of Planets, Humans have become one of the most influential races in this portion of the One of the most influential and important species in the Alpha quadrant, Humans originate from the planet Earth in the Sol system. The early history of the planet was remarkable in many respects - chiefly for the number of contacts with alien civilisations which occurred. All of these proved to be of a very limited type however, and it was not until 2063 that the first official First Contact occured. At this point Earth was suffering the effects of a large scale nuclear war and was at a particularly low point. A group of scientists working under Zephram Cochrane had been working on a method of faster than light drive system for spacecraft when the war occurred. Despite having no official funding and poor living conditions the team pressed on with their project, and by 2063 they where able to launch the Pheonix, the first vessel in the alpha quadrant fitted with a warp drive. Cochranes flight attracted the attion of a Vulcan survey vessel which was in the system; the Vulcans subsequently sent a shuttlecraft down to make contact with Cochranes team. The discovery that they where not alone in the universe had a profound impact on mankind, bringing all the people of the Earth together as never before. Physically, Humans are bilaterally symetrical bipeds whos skin and hair can vary considerably between individuals. As with most species there are two genders, male and female, but unusually there are several different racial groups. In most other respects Humans are physically close to the average for an Alpha Quadrant species.Physical Specifics Species: Humans (Homo Sapiens Sapiens) Affiliation: United Federation of Planet Appearance: Skin/Hair/Eyes Colour: Varies/Varies/Varies Average Height (M/F): 180/170 cm (5'11"/5'7") Average Weight (M/F): 70/60 kg (154/132 lbs) Other: --- Native Environment: Class M Homeworld: Earth (Sol 3) Location: Alpha Quadrant Medical Notes: Life Expectancy (M/F): 115/122 years Unusual Traits: None |
