* AdvancedAncientHumans: A common belief to explain why there are so many human-like races in the galaxy. The only problem is that most of them have their own theory on it, which for the most part contradict each other.



* FantasticReligiousWeirdness: As a result of the various species intermingling for long periods:
** Surakan Buddhism is, as the name suggests, a philosophical school that bridges elements from Buddhist and Vulcan teachings.
** The Church of the Divine Image is a Christian offshoot that believes God's salvation of humanity also applies to aliens -- but only HumanAliens or, at a stretch, {{Humanoid|Aliens}} ones, since they're the only ones made in God's image.
** Certain aspects of the Race's culture expand their worship of their Emperor (and past Emperors) to include veneration of certain important other figures from their history, who are granted the saint-like title of "Most Loyal".

** The Terran Treaty Organization ([=TeTO=]) is initially a mutual defense pact and free trade agreement between the remaining human nations of Earth and all their colonies.

** During the Reaper War, the Romulans organize several other non-[=TeTO=] powers into the Pact of the Raptor, both for mutual defense and in order to compete with [=TeTO=] on a political and economic level. However, it is specifically stated to ''not'' be anti-[=TeTO=] in nature.

The story starts out detailing the history of Earth as it deals with AlienInvasion after alien invasion starting at the tail end of the 19th century. It later evolves into a full on SpaceOpera as Earth and its allies become a Galactic power. The story is still ongoing and currently in the middle of the 23rd century.
