====== Humanity's Leap to the Stars ====== When [[sentient_species:humans|humanity]] first breached the bounds of their home planet and ventured into space, it marked the dawn of a new era. Driven by curiosity and the urge to explore, humans rapidly began to colonize their star system. During this era of expansion, they encountered two other humanoid species: the [[sentient_species:sylarian|Sylarians]] and the [[sentient_species:giants|Giants]]. The Sylarians quickly formed an alliance with humans, sharing knowledge and resources. The Giants, imposing and strong, initially viewed the newcomers with suspicion but eventually recognized the benefits of unity. This alliance of humanoids laid the groundwork for a cooperative and prosperous colonization of their star system.
