The young race of Humanity has a manifest destiny
among the stars and the expanding Earth Alliance
now controls many systems beyond Sol.
They can be found throughout
the galaxy and are the most common race found on board
Babylon 5. Though borders still exist on their homeworld,
it is now governed as one under the Earth Alliance and so
Human characters may be of any culture.
Being nearly brought to the brink of extinction during the
recent war with the Minbari, coupled with the mysterious
surrender at the Battle of the Line, left deep marks on
Humanity’s collective psyche. The threat of alien invasion
awoke a dormant strain of xenophobia on Earth (although
this is far less prevalent on the colonies), while the surrender
convinced many that Humanity was marked with a special
destiny. Certainly, Humanity’s star has been in the ascendant
in the last decade.
Names: Human names vary greatly though many of the
conventions and family names that have existed throughout
the centuries within the different cultures of Earth are still
present. Humans tend to be quite formal when encountering
each other for the first time and so often only use a surname,
prefixed by Mr, Ms, Miss or Mrs as appropriate.
