Human
One of the most prolific species in the galaxy, Humans have had a broad and varied history. Humans occupy a strange middle ground among the outlooks of the species of the galaxy. They are too inquisitive and animated to be considered an old race but too experianced to be considered a young race. Humans are incredibly difficult to classify in general terms as they spread across the spectrum in all things, leading to a saying among other species that roughly translates to "human consistency" meaning, something that doesn't exist.
Due to the fall of the old human civilization due to The Scream, humans have become a scattered people. They simultaneously create centralized authorities and seek to break free of them. Some worlds retain Pre-Scream Tech while others have reverted to stone age level tech. Survival demands and environmental conditions have given rise to several sub-species during the time between The Scream and now.
