Baseline humans

"'We are the supreme race; the sole race with the spirit and brevity to claim all of the stars within reach. We do not need artificial additions to our fundamental biologies in order to become shining beacons of strength and intelligence; Humanity already has accomplished that.' — Dietrich Josten"

Baseline humans (Stadtverisch: Reine menschen; lit. Pure humans) is a term used to classify organisms that possess the definition posited by the Menschlicher Sternenstaat's Staatsministerium für Gesundheit und Bevölkerung:"'...beings who possess an unedited, natural genetic code identified to the Homo sapiens sapiens collective basal genome.'"The meaning and gravitas of this definition lies as the bedrock of all Staatism and government prerogatives carried out in defense of the Sternenstaat's clear-cut humanocentrism and biological purism. Any mutations brought upon a human that deviates from the standard gene parameters of the human genome, whether as a result of radiation or by deliberate genetic engineering, brings that person to become classified as a near-human. In addition to this definition, the Staat also consistently considers those who significantly augment themselves with cybernetics to also be near-humans as traitors to the tenet of biological purism and the relinquishment of their identities as true human beings.

Baseline humans constitute the majority of the population within the Sternenstaat at approximately 80% of the current population, or 920 billion people. They are also one of the most abundant species to be found in the Milky Way, with clear origins from the planet of Earth in the Solar System. Ironically, the Sternenstaat does not champion ideologies nostalgic of Earth as the birthplace of humanity, mainly due to the country's discernment of the planet as being "lost to the vices of modernity". Instead, the Sternenstaat places emphasis on Vera as the "place of mankind's resurrection".
