GAW Races

There are many races in the Galaxy at War, and not all of them have been encountered. The races featured are just the races of this generation, and chances are, will not endure the passage of time.

The Humans
Seperated into 2 main groups, the Humans are a diverse and complicated race. Their main strength is that they form communities, and through those communities survive the storms of history. Their technology is mainly second rate, but recently, the United Federation of Planets has been improving its technology and is now part of the upper echalons of technological advances, particularly in wafare.

Earthers The Earthers are the parents of all the humans in the quadrant. Earth was a very fertile and lively planet before the humans took over, and over several thousand years polluted it and made it into a highly populated dump, stinking of radiation in some parts and poisoned with pollution in others. However, once the Earthers hit space, they began expanding massivly, and now control the following planets: (population is next to the name)


 * Earth - 7 Billion
 * Mars - 2 Billion
 * Luna - 2 Billion People
 * Orion - 0 People
 * Elipson Erandi - 19,000,000 People

 * Jericho VII - 5,000 People
 * Eridanus II - 1,002,000
 * Sigma Octanus IV - 7,000
 * Chi Ceti IV - 5,000

Their government is a republic led by a Council of Five, which preside over the United Federation of Planets (as the Earthers are called).

Harvest Harvest was an early renegade colony of Earth, formed by a group of civilians travelling in massive, 9 kilometer sleeper ships. They colonized the planet originally known as Gliese 581C, and now have a population of 500,000,000 and a small fleet of light ships, as well as several colonies:

Harvest (formerly known as Gliese 581 c ) - Most populated Harvest planet, home to 490,000,000 human people; the Tau have also begun to settle this world. Rocky planet, but has basically been terraformed by extensive plant injection. Capital world of the republic, Government seat in New New York.

New Constantinople (formerly known as Gliese 581 d ) - A large terrestrial planet with a population of 10,000,000. On it, besides the population, is a large military base (10,000 troops) and a scientific post (inside the base, basically for doing the exploring and checking out the life on the planet). A small starbase is in orbit (3 ships).

New Marseilles (formerly known as Gliese 581 B ) - Pretty useless gas planet, about the size of Neptune. Basically, this is only used for military training exercises. The government has toyed with the idea of probing the planet for strategic resources but has always been shot down because that the probe was way too expensive for the extremely low chance of finding resources.

Freedom Point - Large space station in the Beta Librae system, home to 15,000 people. It has its own economy (but is a part of Harvest's grand economy) and has the capability to defend itself.

Their technology used to be terrible, but the attempted attack on Harvet by the Earth fleet resulted in Harvest joining the Tau Empire, thus gaining protection and advanced technology.
