Homo Sapien



Homo Sapiens are species of sentients whom are found of varying degrees throughout the universe. Some can trace their origins of development to the lesser primates, while the origins of others have come from primitive fish from over millions of years prior to their existence. Homo Sapien civilizations have been found having varying degrees of technology, ranging from primitive stone tools to galactic warring empires. As of currently, there are no intergalactic Homo Sapien civilizations recorded on Endymion records.

Homo Sapiens are a rare occurance in the halls of The Order. Currently to date, there have only been two instances of Homo Sapien species being inducted into The Order of Endymion.

Biology
Homo Sapiens are often roughly 1.8 meters in height with many variations of body types, although this is significantly affected by their living conditions. Low gravity worlds tend to have Homo Sapiens of a much higher stature, whereas higher gravity planets tend to have shorter Homo Sapien species. Their heads, while often average in proportion to their bodies at maturity, possess a highly developed brain that allows the thought processes and ingenuity characteristic of many sentient species within the universe. A normal healthy Homo Sapien stands upright and possesses four limbs complete with 5 appendages on each. Their primary manipulators possess a pair of opposable thumbs on each, a common genetic design inherited by many sentient species in the universe through the process of evolution. Their faces are also often well defined which allows them to make a variety of expressions for non-verbal communication between their members.

Their bodies are rather soft in nature, possessing a flexible epidermis that protects their vital inner organs and muscles against airborne diseases. That being said, their bodies are quite fragile against airborne chemicals. They do not possess any hard shells to protect against blunt trauma nor do they possess any specialized organs to filter out extremely toxic chemicals or gases. Their skeletal structure is about average in complexity when compared to other races, providing strong support and stability while still being brittle enough to break should a proper force be applied.

Homo Sapiens have been known to have short life spans. This often leads them to self destructive behaviors and delusional beliefs in addition to bouts of greed and selfishness in order to compensate with their ever fear of the approaching end. However, some civilizations have found ways to prolong their lives through medical innovations or biotechnology. Typical Homo Sapiens can live between 30 to 100 Universal Years, with those of higher civilizations reaching hundreds of years through advancements in technology.

Capability
Homo Sapiens are not designed for physical combat. Rather, their intellect is one of the main strengths of their species as they often use this intellect to design armored suits and weapons in make up for their lack of genetic martial developments. Nonetheless, there are always a remarkable minority that prove themselves to be capable and deadly fighters among their own race.
