Humans

 The founders of the United Federation of Planets, Humans have become one of the most influential races in this portion of the galaxy. Human society has progressed greatly from being a powermongering, warlike people to being a peaceful and benevolent race. They have an inborn curiosity to learn more about the universe and formed Starfleet for the purpose of exploration. Humans now inhabit much of the Alpha Quadrant and are currently expanding into the Beta Quadrant. Humans are originally from the planet Earth, in Sol, in sector 001.
