Humans

Between the years 2104-2204, all of Earth’s world powers and many of
their allies were involved in the largest war in Human history named the
 Century War. The cause of the war has been lost in translation. It was
the definition of total war. Some waged war over religion similar to the
 Crusades, some fought over land and tried to destroy their neighbors,
and others fought because they wanted to see the world burn and rise up
as a super power. After a quarter century, many of the lines drawn in
the sand became distorted and ambiguous. Another quarter century passed
and assured mutual destruction was a very real possibility. There was
not a corner of the Earth that was not embroiled in war.

Seeing their world was doomed to succumb to the destructive
nature of mankind, the brightest scientists from around the world pooled
 their resources together in secret and unlocked the secrets to quantum
mechanics which lead to quantum computing. Unfortunately, the current
world powers used this new realm of technology as a weapon instead of a
solution to the conflict. Quantum mechanics turned weapon proved to be
extremely effective and very devastating. Casualties rose exponentially,
 what was left of major cities were razed, and some nations turned to
culling the civilian population. Famine took hold of most settlements,
disease ran freely across entire continents, the war was at its peak,
and death was all around.

On the brink of extinction, what was left of the world rallied
together and threw down their arms in a great act of defiance. There was
 nothing left to fight for, so instead of war, they turned what they had
 learned about quantum theory into a force of life instead of
destruction. Slowly but surely, the world began to rebuild itself under
the advisement of The Quantum Alliance.

The Quantum Alliance was formed as a global government to oversee
 the reconstruction of nations and the world as a whole. It is comprised
 of 6 governments, one for each of the habitable continents. Under The
Quantum Alliance, the world has seen peace and has become unified,
rallying around quantum theory, praising the scientists who brought
their salvation (after it brought more destruction). The world finally
learned how to pool and allocate resources properly. Along with the
addition of more and more advancements in quantum mechanics and a global
 resource pool, the Earth began to flourish.

After the Century War, the Earth began to think if itself as an
entire race instead of thinking of itself as individual countries.

The culling also killed off much of the wildlife from the planet
earth. Climates deemed necessary for the survival of the Human race are
kept in super massive specialized bio-domes used for farming and some
recreational use.

The development of quantum mechanics lead to a massive leap in Human
space travel. Pooling global resources allowed for the procurement of
large quantities of raw material for the building of very large
spaceships and space stations. Space travel quickly became to Hv5 what
sea travel was for homosapien. Massive engine drives and
near-light-speed travel were the norm for hopping between planets in the
 solar system. Hyper travel within the system lead to the mining and
reaping of resources from the planets, moons, and asteroids. Exploration
 was no longer about wonder and amazement, but became lucrative and
opened many opportunities. The gathering of resources beyond the
confines of earth progressed the engineering of massive space fleets and
 advanced warships. As technology advanced faster and faster, the notion
 of running into extraterrestrial life became more and more an
inevitability.

For a long time, wormholes were purely theoretical and worked
perfectly on paper but could never exist naturally. A scientist by the
name of Ebert Seaburt discovered a way to produce wormholes across
extremely small distances. Originally, distances of no more than a few
meters. His work was as influential and more impactful than Albert
Einstein. The development of man-made wormholes would launch the Human
race into depths of space previously thought impossible.

Wormhole "cannons" were created and fitted to the largest
spaceships (in every fleet). The accuracy of the cannons is questionable
 at best. The early WH-Mk I's opened wormholes an average 300,000
kilometers off the target coordinate. The new WH-Mk IV's hit their
targets with an error range of only 140,000 kilometers. The wormhole
event window stays open for about 2 hours, giving entire fleets plenty
of time to pass through and bound through space instantly. Wormholes
were now the highways for mining fleets to reap (essentially limitless)
resources from the bosom of the universe.

The answer for interstellar communication came in the form of
quantum entanglement. Two separate particles are entangled at the atomic
 level and are forced to share an equal yet opposite spin no matter how
far apart they are in space. Imparting a spin in one direction at a
certain speed on one particle can be read and interpreted by the other
particle. This interpretation is then quantified and transformed into
digital voice, and thus interstellar communication. The only problem is
that a particle can only have one partner, disabling the ability to
transmit to more than one receiver.

Since there is only one receiver, fleets are tied to EarthCom
with dedicated communication spaceships. These extremely sensitive,
extremely vulnerable ships act as communication relays between its fleet
 and EarthCom. These "Com Ships" inform EarthCom of current position,
mission, enemy contact information, etc. They also disseminate
information from EarthCom to leaders on fleet sister ships.

## Firepower

The quantum leap ushered in by the brilliant work of allied
scientists many years ago has been the unifying foundation of The
Quantum Alliance. With it came wave after wave of technological
advancement. Sharing ideas saw unprecedented advancements across the
globe. However, science is not always relegated to the realm of peace. A
 lot of technology used for civilian use was first developed by the
military. For example, velcro.

Firepower for Earth comes in the form of rail guns. Small arms,
anti-armor, space cannons, tanks, etc., are all versions of a rail gun.
Humans have come to prefer the raw kinetic power associated with moving
dense objects at incredible speed. Rail guns charge an object with an
enormous amount of energy very quickly sending the projectile down range
 at speeds in excess of Mach 12.

Cannons and crew served guns mounted to spaceships prove to be
extremely unforgiving to targets in the vacuum of space. Destroyer class
 spaceships have been known to tear apart enemy space stations before
they can radio for help.

Ground units are able to rip through and degrade most ground
cover being utilized by the enemy. Grunts bring the art of suppression
to new heights, overwhelming the enemy shear volume. Reaping and pooling
 massive amounts of resources has allowed the Quantum Alliance Armada to
 stockpile a virtually endless amount of ammunition. The ability to
sustain intense fighting for extended periods of time (mixed with Human
pride) has thrust the Quantum Alliance into very one-sided galactic
skirmishes more than a few times.

Expedition fleets are made up of military space fleets and civilian miner vessels. These double wide fleets operate in extreme deep
 space and can be on tour for 25 years at a time. Their main purpose is
to scour the universe in search of resource rich systems. On occasion,
there have been systems with intelligent life. Some life has been
advanced enough to put up a fight, while others fall short and must
accept the hand they have been dealt.

### Unique Technology

Humans have become extremely efficient miners after the development of their terrain emulsifier. The TE-v1 gathers both organic and inorganic material by reducing the space between atoms at the atomic level. The materials maintain their mass, but size is greatly decreased as density increases. Later on, the mined material can be "unzipped" and returned to its uncompressed natural state. The TE-v1 also sorts materials much like a computer would defragment its hard drive, making it easier to sift through and organize literal tons of "data."

The Humans have used this technology to gather simple resources necessary for the survival of the Human race (like water) and to gather building material (like titanium). Currently, the Humans are mining on multiple planets in Galaxy529.
