Humans Are Space Orcs

[Worldbuilding -

Time Period:21st century - 2038 A.D. (Human time), ;

Setting: Science fiction, but still takes place in the realm of reality. Humans are still in the modern era, however they are not alone. Humans have come into contact with an intergalactic society, or rather they contacted humanity in a less than ideal circumstance. By 2038, the major nations of Earth were close to starting another world war, but an outside influence quickly intervened. The influence would introduce themselves as the Federation of Interconnected Species or the F.I.S. for short. The F.I.S. is a federation of dozens of sapient species founded in parts of the Sagittarius-Carina and the Scutum-Crux arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. The F.I.S. had made expeditions to explore more parts of the galaxy, including the Orion arm where Humanity/Earth is located. The F.I.S. has been ‘aware’ of Humanity and kept tabs on them since the late 17th century to current, within secrecy until 2038. Their attention had peaked many times, but the events of 2038 were simply too much to ignore and the F.I.S. sent a group of high ranking members of their council to calm down the situation. Now, the existence of Humanity as the first discovered sapient/sentient species in the Orion spur has been announced to the public for all F.I.S. government employees and citizens to see.;

Culture:Humanity had been unofficially ‘welcomed’ into the F.I.S. as a member and “protected sapient species" The F.I.S. is made up of dozens of sapient species founded in parts of the Sagittarius-Carina and the Scutum-Crux arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. The F.I.S. was founded to connect all present and future species to come, in order to work together on the galactic scene. It’s not perfect, but it’s mostly worked so far. Not all species get along, but many of them do. Some war, some are pacifists, some fill in niche roles. All current members are civil (or at least maintain a semblance of being civil) to one another. Humanity is a big exception, as the F.I.S. doesn’t normally introduce ‘primitive’ species before they achieve FTL - However F.I.S. departments and ranked members were too curious for their own good and decided to further introduce themselves to the unpredictable primates. So far, they have learned a lot from Humanity, good and bad.;

Beliefs: Nearly all races have some level of arrogance when it comes to newly sentient races that recently joined and have been accepted into the F.I.S., often seeing and treating them like children or teenagers trying to get into adult business. They must spend a couple generations in the galactic scenario to be truly seen as equals by the rest of them (although it depends on species’ standards and beliefs). It is truly believed that it is impossible for sentient and scientifically advanced life to evolve from deathworlds, since it’s deemed too harsh for any known life (to the F.I.S. at least) to survive, let alone thrive in such environments. Earth has been deemed as the first exception to that rule. Earth is one of the more unique and less “deathworld” looking deathworlds, but F.I.S scientists have somewhat understood that due to evolution on Earth, it is not considered a deathworld to native fauna and flora. Humans are biologically not that special, but still uncanny - psychologically they are viewed as unpredictable (unsure if that’s a good or bad thing..) Most species are not humanoid, but there are a few outliers.; —-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- World Registration System: Paradise World: The best worlds to harbor life according to the F.I.S.. These worlds possess mild, stable climates with minimal to no seasonal variation, being consistent all over the year over all the planet, with the average temperature ranging between 18 °G (in the colder areas) to 22 °G (in the hotter areas) on land. Their resources are abundant, including water, minerals and food sources, all of which are able to be acquired, extracted and cultivated with minimal effort. The gravity is considered ideal for the development of any life, being set between 1.5 (minimal) to 2.5 GU (maximum). There is a perceptible absence of any dangerous predators or hazardous environment, so there is no threat to any sentient life in existence. They possess a high biodiversity scattered across the planet (both fauna and flora), all of which is considered as beneficial and non-threatening to intelligent life. The atmosphere presents the perfect conditions to any life, being considered easy to breathe and the maximum wind speed recorded is around 1.4 m/s; Haven World: These worlds possess slightly variable climate with manageable seasonal changes, being mostly consistent around the planet, with the average temperature ranging from between 12 °G (in colder areas) to 28 °G (in hotter areas) on land. Their resources are plentiful, but they require some effort to extract or cultivate before being used. The gravity is moderate, being set between 2.5 (minimum) to 3.5 GU (maximum), being slightly higher than what is in Paradise Worlds, but still very comfortable to most lives in the galaxy. There is a presence of a few predators, however these are easily avoidable and manageable, not posing any threat to any life as long as the individual is aware of how to handle them. They also possess a high biodiversity scattered across the planet (both fauna and flora), most of which is considered beneficial and non-threatening to sentient life, but there are some exceptions that need to be watched out for. These worlds present good atmospheric condition, though some regions may require minor adjustments for habitation and some time for adaptation, and the maximum wind speed recorded is around 5.3 m/s;

Frontier World: These worlds possess noticeable seasonal variations, with potential for some extreme weather conditions in some areas around the planet, with the average temperature ranging from 2 °G (in colder areas) to 33 °G (in hotter areas) on land. Their available resources are adequate for sentient life to develop, however they require significant effort and technology to utilize them. Their gravity lies at the limit of what most species would be able to tolerate, being potentially challenging to those that are used with worlds with lesser gravity, the measurement being set between 3.5 to 4.5 GU. There is a presence of potentially dangerous predators and hazardous environments that require caution and vigilance to handle, with training to handle a possible encounter with them. They present ecosystems that possess a mix of beneficial and harmful species (both fauna and flora) that need to be watched out for with extreme care, now with the presence of possible geological events such as earthquakes. The atmosphere in these planets require a longer adaptation and/or technical support for prolonged habitation. The maximum wind speed recorded is around 10.5 m/s;

Hell World: These worlds possess extreme seasonal changes with harsh and variable weather conditions around the planet, with the average temperature ranging from -10 °G (in colder areas) to 40 °G (in hotter areas) on land. The resources in these worlds are more scarce and they often demand advanced technology and high effort to obtain them. The gravity is considered at a high level here, setting between 4.5 to 7 GU, which can prove to be taxing to other living beings unused to the gravity and can also affect not appropriately made structures over time. There is a great abundance of dangerous predators and hazardous environments, with ecosystems being mostly considered harmful and malevolent, filled with competitive and usually aggressive species, and also displays more geological events such as volcanic activity. The atmospheric conditions are challenging to anyone born outside of the Hell World (namely those born in Frontier, Haven and Paradise Worlds), requiring advanced technology for safe and sustained life, especially of those non native to the planet. The maximum wind speed recorded is around 20.5 m/s;

Death World: These worlds are considered the worst, most unideal place to sustain life, and the F.I.S. scientific community agrees unanimously that it is impossible for any sentient life to emerge, let alone survive and evolve for long enough to reach space. These are places that the F.I.S. often avoids going to unless under specific circumstances. These planets exhibit wild fluctuating climate, with harsh, unpredictable weather that can change in the space of a few hours (minutes even!), from one day to another or at the course of a few days and also temperature that rises and falls drastically over the course of a few hours. The lowest temperatures recorded in such places are over -80 °G and the highest temperatures can go above 50 °G, with thermal amplitude between the night and day cycles going around from 10 °G to 30 °G depending on your location. Their gravity is significantly heavier (but not lethal to any known sapients as of yet), able to go well over 8 GU, which imposes significant physical strain on the body of inhabitants and on structures, being very hard to survive let alone adapt without being native to the world, and which also makes it hard to take off from such places. There is a presence of several apex predators scattered across multiple ecosystems, all of which are extremely dangerous, putting sentient beings in constant threat. The environments are also dangerous, with highly competitive and hostile species (both fauna and flora) that are also ravaged by cyclical natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, floods, fissures, winds storms that can reach over 70 m/s, and others. Atmospheric conditions are often harmful without appropriate advanced technological intervention; Resource World: These are worlds considered incapable of sustaining any life, either by its lack of atmosphere, extreme conditions or its size. In this category, uninhabited planets, dead moons and asteroids are all placed here. Due to their nature of being Dead Worlds (an old termination for Resource Worlds), they are often used to extract needed resources for colonies and for the usage of the F.I.S or other causes.; —--------------------------------------------------------------------------

World Registration System (WRS): A categorizing system made by the F.I.S. to categorize planets, satellites and asteroids according to their capability of housing life (for carbon-based lifeforms, as other forms of life have yet to be discovered). Each world is put in one of six categories, with the Paradise Worlds being the most stable and the best to house life while Death Worlds are the most unstable and the worst to house live. Thanks to the Death Worlds’ unique wildness, they are often used as places where criminals are exiled to, which is often considered a death sentence. Due to their inability of holding life, Resource Worlds are just used as planetary mines for the F.I.S. and for the colonies of each species; Galactic Temperature Unit (GTU): A common galactic system used to measure temperature, which is represented by Galactic Degrees (°G). Converting it to Earth’s measurements, 1°G is equal to 1°C; Galactic Gravity Unit (GGU): A common galactic system used to measure gravity, which is represented by Gravity Units (GU). Converting it to Earth’s measurements, each 1 GU is equal to 1 m/s2; Faster-Than-Light Speed (FTL Speed): Faster-Than-Light Speed, often referred to as FTL Speed or just FTL, technology deployed on spaceships and communications that allow for travels between stars, planets and colonies. As the name suggests, this technology allows for a spaceship to move faster than light to cross distances between solar systems and F.I.S. bases. Nearly all races that join and that the F.I.S. have, at some level, reached the FTL speed prior to meeting the F.I.S. with the exception of protected primitive species or other status. —--------------------------------------------------------------------------

F.I.S. Races (so far):

Triton: A humanoid amphibious species somewhat resembling Axolotl, the most humanoid (physically and biologically similar to humans) species documented within the F.I.S. This species is known for their manageable friendly temperament, and sometimes mischievous nature / faux innocence within certain situations. They can vary in body type, from chubby to skinny - somewhat like humans. Triton also vary in colors like humans do, from pastel pinks, dark greens, sandy yellows, and marshy browns - sometimes even having spots and stripes similar in function to human freckles. Tritons stand upright bipedal (digitigrade) , having 2 legs, 4 arms (2 on each side of their body, right and left. Triton are omnivorous - capable of eating most forms of sustenance, however they maintain a largely piscivore diet - farming and eating aquatic life. Some fruits and other crops have been used in their history. The Triton species originate from their homeworld Araxis, officially documented as a Haven World having beaches and marshes, mainly wetlands. They also have a couple of colony worlds within their large star system, settling on two Frontier worlds called Leus and Forleah. Their total population is 19 billion. 7 billion males, 6 billion males, 4 billion intersex, 2 billion classified as other. Triton live on an average of 70 human years or higher depending on lifestyle and genes. The biggest aspect of the Triton is their culture heavily leans on intimacy wanted if not needed within their lives, more amplified than humans. (They can and WILL match Humanity’s freak.) Tritons are also capable of emitting pheromones, which has been noted to affect several species within the F.I.S., including Humans. Humans find Triton to be adorable. In F.I.S. technological standards, Triton are relatively young. (Compared to humans, they are higher on the Kardashev scale, being a Type 1 civilization.)

Lisoth: A humanoid mammalian species, coincidentally being similar but also quite different from what humans have in fiction as “Protogens”. This species is known for their bouts of defiance, and their pursuit of biological augmentations / medical sciences. They look like Protogens, but they have 4 ears, 2 on each side of their head. The upper ears are larger than the lower ears. Lisoth use visors almost 24/7, (essentially a tool with practical uses but also for fun.) Lisoth stand upright - bipedal (digitigrade), and they have 2 arms. Similarly to some Earth mammals such as cats and dogs, they have an equivalent of paw-beans on their feet for cushioning (they don’t wear shoes). Lisoth naturally have fur, fur colors ranging from greys, blacks, whites, and rarely browns. Their actual skin is a magenta color. Lisoth naturally are primarily carnivorous, but are able to eat some fruits, dairy, and vegetables - however with augmentation they can be completely omnivorous. The Lisoth species originate from their homeworld Treadith, a Frontier world naturally covered in temperate forests and grassy plains. The Lisoth also inhabit another star system, on a Paradise world (Originally a Haven world, but artificially altered into a Paradise world) called Digala. The Lisoth have 3 Resource worlds in the 2 solar systems they inhabit - Tridaris, Manzus, and Piolenth. The total population of the Lisoth species is 30 billion. 14 male and 16 female. The Lisoth also inhabit artificial constructs around Treadith, Digala, and others near asteroids and places of interest in their solar systems. The average (natural) lifespan of a Lisoth is 90 human years, although with augmentation it can extend life expectancy to 120 or higher. (Compared to Humans on the Kardashev scale, they are a Type 2 civilization - the ‘average’ type civilization within the F.I.S. ). The Lisoth are one of the more advanced species compared to others within the F.I.S. (They are afraid and keep diving into the rabbit hole that is the Human internet </3)
