Characterization

Humans live in a society based on the values of liberty and fairness. Their key strength lies with their efficient and adaptive approach to research, which grants them swift access to new technologies. They also possess a highly proficient industrial infrastructure and deep knowledge in raw material extraction, production and supply of energy and vital goods. Their high-end products, however, come at the expense of equally high resource costs. Because of their moral convictions espionage is treated like an orphan most of the times, but they compensate for this deficiency with a strong military. Their ships and commanding officers can fight well individually, as well as in groups.

Special buildings

Private Farm
While government farms are efficient at feeding the populace, many private individuals find greater satisfaction in growing their own food. Supporting a system of private farms provides high-quality food and boosts morale.

Trade Center
The computerization of trade goes back hundreds of years. Dedicated trading centers take advantage of modern computing power to maximize the effiency of commerce in their regions. Trade goods direct a planet's industrial resources into the production of consumer goods which produce revenue.

Angstrom Institute
Dr. Jonas Angstrom was the first physicist to discover the spectral lines of hydrogen in the sun's spectrum. He was the founder of all elementary particle physics theories through which our computers now work. The Institute, built in his name, will be a center for research into the potential of modern computing.

Cryogenics Research Lab
The Cryogenics Research Lab is primarily devoted to the study of new, large-scale genetic engineering methods. Its final goal is to make humans adaptable to nearly all weather and health conditions on virtually every type of planet in the galaxy. However, its research will inevitably bear fruit in other scientific areas, such as terraforming and climate control.

Coalition Academy
Superior technology is worthless in the hands of untrained officers. The Coalition Fleet Academy is a facility which trains cadets for service aboard starships. It is also a center for research into new tactics and methods. Even an experienced crew can pick up a few new tricks on a visit to the Academy.
