Adapted from Human - Starfinder Wiki and Human Ancestry- Archives of Nethys
In the neon-lit corridors of shattered colony ships and the rusted habitats of frontier stations, humans endure. They are the Children of Men—descendants of those who fled the dying Terra, survivors of the Scream that broke the stars, and witnesses to the Rift storms that now scar the galaxy. Unlike the Vesk or the Androids, humans carry no universal modifications. Their strength lies in their immense variety: baseline Terrans who remember Old Terra, deep-space colonists who have adapted to microgravity, and Rift-touched survivors whose very biology has been rewritten by cosmic storms.
Mechanically, humans offer versatile ancestry options, bonus feats, and flexible heritage traits—reflecting their ability to diversify amid galactic strife, bargain for survival, and integrate innovations from other cultures.
Humans: Survivors of Starfall
Humans in Starfall Galaxy trace their long journey back to Terra in the Inner Sphere—a cradle world that spawned innovation, ambition, and relentless survival instincts. Over millennia, humans spread across the galaxy, adapted to every frontier, and endured horrors from Rift anomalies to planetary upheavals. The Terran Republic, their first great government, collapsed after the Riftstorm Cataclysm and the Terran Incursion, leaving the scattered human diaspora to integrate with or lead new societies, corporations, and nations across the galaxy.
Humans now thrive as mercenaries, traders, pilgrims, and pioneers. Their population is concentrated in the Commission’s Core, but can be found grinding out existence as colonists on the Outer Sphere, hoplite soldiers, or even as pilgrims tending the relics of Terra—now an ancestral shrine for the diaspora
Genetic modification, cybernetics, and cultural hybridization have diversified human strengths and appearances. Some humans possess gene-mod traits optimized for survival, combat, or environmental adaptation, while others rely on cunning, organization, and charisma—the essential human virtues in Starfall.
Physical Description
Humans in Starfall range from baseline to extensively gene-modded. Some are built for low-gravity mining, some for elite combat as Sider Stratiotes (legendary hoplites), others for high-society diplomacy, or for hardy frontier life. Technologies and cultural influences intermingle, making humans the most phenotypically and behaviorally diverse people in the galaxy.
Society
Human societies are pluralistic, found in Commission Core worlds, wildcat settlements, mercenary outfits, and pilgrim clades. Governance, tradition, and faith vary wildly—a result of catastrophe, diaspora, and adaptation. Humans lead guilds, consult for governments, and fight in cause-driven legions, always leveraging their ability to organize, improvise, and inspire.
Beliefs
Popular Edicts: Adapt, advance, and overcome; honor alliances and old debts; seek out new opportunities and knowledge.
Popular Anathema: Waste the day; ignore crucial survival lessons; betray kin or coalition.
