Human Republic

The Human Republic is the civilization which has the planet Alta Munda as its capital, a primary power of the Galaxy of Life, and a nation whose citizens are human beings. First formed as a union of colonized worlds, and the Terrestrial solar system, it eventually became corrupted and corroded, as a prelude to the Great Betrayal, which established the Noveratu Empire as a great power in the Galaxy. Since then, the Human Republic has been governing in exile, and their primary goal is the reclamation of Earth, the homeworld.

Overview
From The Splicer's Guide, the first Core Book.

''Humanity expanded its reach to all the planets around our sun, and then on into the rest of the galaxy. The species engaged the civilized races of the Milky Way's arms; and the various species of the core. Humanity, however, quickly showed a great propensity for economic and military conquest. Within a few generations of achieving space flight, the Human Republic became the primary power in all of known existence.''

''As genetic science advanced, humanity developed a method of generating new life-forms with high psionic potential and massive powers by using a human clone template to frame terrestrial animal DNA as well as genetic components of alien races. These new beings register on all technology as humans, and mostly look human, but are capable of doing things that normal human beings only dream of. These beings become known as Splicers.''

''As the enemy Noveratu revealed themselves, the galaxy was plunged into war. The Human Republic has lost the planet Earth, and its capital-in-exile is on a planet far from Earth: a beautiful world dominated by ocean side cliffs called Alta Munda. It is from here that the Splicers of the Human Republic launch their missions. Meanwhile, the Noveratu Empire still controls much of the galaxy. In many ways, this means that the Noveratu are winning. They are Terrestrial organisms, and they believe that they are fighting for their homeworld as vehemently as their Human counterparts.''
