* HumansAreBastards : Interestingly enough Solomani are often presented as bad guys. Especially the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Solomani Confederation]]. At the least, they are often described as [[HumansAreWarriors unusually militaristic].

[[AC: Vilani]]

[[AC: Zhodani]]

[[AC: Humaniti: [[PhantasySpelling Space Spelling]] for the most important race of all. By chance it is the one to which most PCs belong to. [[MostWritersAreHuman As far as research indicates, most writers do too.]] The Three Main Human megatribes are the Vilani, the Solimoni, and the Zhodani. By Emperor Strephon's time the first two have merged. These groupings are divided into umpteen states, clans, factions, and sects and there are minor human races as well

Default setting of {{Gurps}} version. The Third Imperium is a vast decentralized state. By it's unwritten constitution worlds have internal autonomy but defer to the Imperium in Intersteller matters.

The Terrans were a Promethean society that valued initiative and individualism. Long before Emperor Strephon's Reign the Terran's and the First Imperium waged war for two hundred years. At first Terra and it's outposts fought for survival and freedom. Later Terra's war for freedom became a war for conquest. Though the canon gives vague details about earlier times, in a way this time the beginning of the Traveller [[StandardSciFiHistory History]].

* GlorySeeker : This is almost the Terran's [[PlanetOfHats Hat]].

* SpacePirates : Terran's went in for commerce raiding.

[[WMG: First(Vilani) Imperium: Before humans from Earth came to the stars, the Vilani were waiting. Vilani are a traditional and venerable society who like everything just so. They formed a vast empire across the stars. When they met the unruly and ambitious Terrans the CultureClash and the mutual arrogance of both Terrans and Vilani caused a [[ForeverWar generations long]] war between them that would change the face of the Galaxy. ]]
