WHEN HUMANS ATTACK

Viewer discretion is advised.

#5 An Unamed Rundi Woman. In cycle 7 of the Rund month Maot, a human attack was reported on the trading route between Moam to Banta. The Rundi woman in question was riding with a trading caravan just south of the Bama desert when the attack happened. While reports differ, it is said that the humans appeared from the desert sand and attacked the caravan leaving off with almost 10,000 credits worth of Tesraki goods, and at least two 3,000 credit beasts of burden before vanishing back into the desert. The Rundi woman in question was bludgeoned once around the head as she was trying to protect her wares, and, though she survived, will require lifelong medical care for injuries to her skull and shoulder.

Humans are the most deadly sentient species in the universe. The human race has no sub species, so all humans fall under the same genus category of Homo Sapiens, humans were once believed to have at least one other subspecies before dying out during one of the great ice ages of their planet. Despite humans evolving under the same genus, they come in many shapes and sizes primarily based on where their ancestors evolved, and will present in colors anywhere from white to black while most commonly varying somewhere in the middle with a light cream or varying shades of brown. The fur is similar and can appear from white to black though some variant of brown or pale yellow is common. Human fur is found all over the body but is concentrated primarily on the head, where it has the ability to grow to an indefinite length. Humans are members of the Mammalia class, which means that they are born live, without the protection of an egg, and feed their young through the production of milk. From the Phylum Cordata, humans share the similarity with other species in that they are primarily supported by a spinal column and protected brain stem which lays the structural foundation for the skeleton. From the Primate order, humans evolved from omnivores who were commonly found living in trees subsisting mostly off of bugs, fruit and small animals before being forced onto the ground by climate change early in their evolutionary period.

Humans can range in height anywhere from three to seven feet tall on average and can weigh an upwards of six hundred pounds. Humans are most well known for their upright posture, walking on two legs as a bipedal with one set of arms and forward-facing eyes. Humans are well known for their superior senses of sight, touch, smell, hearing, taste and proprioception, with ten dexterous fingers and a sharp set of teeth. All humans are dangerous holding a series of offensive and defensive mechanisms that may prove to be fatal immediately or without medical treatment

#4 Inanus: On the 4th day of the Rundi cycle Kito, Tesraki Inanus and his family were visiting Noctopolus one of the outer rings for a day of gambling. Friends indicate that the group of them had been to a bar frequented by humans as well as other aliens. Some time during the night Inanus was reportedly seen harassing a human customer who stood at the bar taking drinks. Family members and friends urged him to stay away from the dangerous creature, but he was quoted as saying "They aren't so dangerous as they say they are" before continuing to speak to the human. No one is entirely sure what caused the volatile creature to react, but on scene reports say the human suddenly stood up and punched Inanus in the head with a closed fist. Paramedics arrived on scene soon after the report was made but the Tesraki was pronounced dead on arrival to the hospital. As of the production of this show, the human has not been tried, but has been temporarily detained as it is unknown who initiated the argument.

Humans hail from the third interior planet of their relatively main sequence star In the milky way galaxy, known as Earth, though they have since proliferated to the fourth rocky planet of Mars and on to multiple colonies throughout both galaxies. Due to their extreme adaptability humans can be found in most all climates ranging from subzero to deserts over 100 degrees. Though they were likely, originally adapted for desert and Mediterranean environments, humans have been known to spend their time in and even enjoy cold locations, using the repurposed skins of their prey to cover their naked skin. Humans adapted to hot climates through the loss of their fur and the ability to sweat. Small particle of water are shed from the porous surface of their skin where it evaporates and allows them to cool, this mechanism allows the human body to cool itself while moving, allowing them to travel over large distances without stopping. This coupled with their bipedal nature allows humans to carry water with it to fuel the cooling. Humans are also known to be proficient as swimming, climbing,, and running leaving the only relatively safe places from humans as the sky, underground, and under the sea though given proper preparation times, humans can easily reach all of these locations, meaning that nowhere is safe.
