She dislikes having female warriors being common or a setting where females are so liberated. She said it ruined the specialness of playing a heroine and felt very unrealistic and a bit patronizing, almost revisionist. I'm not stupid enough to have an opinion on that, it was an interesting perspective though.I imagine you are asking the original question with regards to N.O.W. If so I think you don't really have much choice if you don't want to make a bunch of presumed lore for the system. Names like Imperials, Terrans, Children of Xenu etc are all fine, but they all fall back on some history within your campaign. If you want it to write generic rules, then I don't think you really have that luxury. I think humans is just fine. I mean you could go Homo Sapiens, but easily amused people will spend the first 10 minutes of each session tittering.</blockquote>
