All of you are my cubs, part of my PRIDE here on Earth, black, red, white, yellow and brown. — Joe Rayner

“Long ago our ancestors were cast out from their home-world, deemed unfit for civilized society. They packed our forebears into spaceships and gave them the dubious honor of colonizing a barren swath of the galaxy. They probably thought we’d be wiped out by the dangers of the universe, but they underestimated us. We’re survivors. We’re winners. We’re Terran. And we intend to bend the universe to our will.”

• An anonymous terran.
