Scattered across the stars, humanity is hunted by many. Because of its general infamy, the race is known by a multitude of terms to identify it.

  • Human, Terran, Solarian - among those races capable of audible communication in the 'normal' vocal range (which is most of them), more knowledgeable and respectful types attempt to reproduce one of these terms. When English is too difficult to use, sometimes other languages provide an easier use. Renlei and Manava are common (Mandarin for 'humanity' and Sanskrit for 'human' respectively).
  • Wanderer - this refers to both First and humans, inclusively, and this word or a derivation if it is often used when a race is physically incapable of pronouncing the term. More offensive terms are Homeless and Lost, though most consider using words like that to refer to the two most advanced civilizations in the Galaxy to be bad luck.
  • Seeker - Like above, but referring to humanity specifically.
  • Blasphemers is the usual term the various theocratic castes of the Three Empires use, after translation. This is because humans have committed each of the Great Sins.
