The '''Humans of the Galaxa Universe''' are a genetically diverse, spiritually complex, and wildly adaptable species descended from the [[Proto-Human]] template designed by the divine progenitors [[Esmerelea]] and [[Theadrid]]. Though they bear the name and form of humans found in other universes such as [[Kosmos]] or [[Apokalyptika]], Galaxan Humans are native to [[Terra Prime (Galaxa)]], a world that has since been lost to myth and memory. | The '''Humans of the Galaxa Universe''' are a genetically diverse, spiritually complex, and wildly adaptable species descended from the [[Proto-Human]] template designed by the divine progenitors [[Esmerelea]] and [[Theadrid]].
