Each Hyperspace expansion civilization comes with a Homeworld tile, 4 unique Citizens, 2 Super Units, and 2 Super Techs.
The humans uniquely don’t have a homeworld, though they do have a small population on an asteroid. Their ability to store and keep secrets for later use, makes them challenging for beginning players, but a veteran can use this ability to amaze and horrify his or her rivals. Despite their lack of early resources, the player can make this up by means of Wardens and techs, amplifying the human threat.
The Warden is a colossal coldsleep vessel. It harvests hormones and chemicals from its sleeping population without harming them, so is effective in both war and peace. The humans start play with both Wardens already in action – the mightiest fleet in the galaxy.
