Human culture has had a vast impact on other sapient creatures. This seems to have began even before the Human Wars, with [[kitsen]] using the Japanese term ''[[wikipedia:Daimyō|daimyo]]'' to refer to their leaders.{{book ref|sky2|26}} However, it was during the Wars that humanity truly put their mark on the universe. Human languages -- mainly English, Spanish, Hindi and Mandarin -- are to this day carried by all translator pins, and serve as common tongues for all species of the galaxy.{{book ref|sky2|10}} The [[UrDail]], which saw extensive contact with humans, have been impacted even further, with their native tongue coming to resemble English.{{book ref|sky2|8}}
Humans are also the original engineers of prefabricated space cities known as [[platform]]s.{{book ref|Elysium}} Platforms are massive flat pieces of lightweight metal with integrated buildings on both the top and the bottom sides, and use advanced artificial gravity and atmosphere technologies.{{book ref|Elysium}} They are capable of sustaining millions of residents.{{book ref|Elysium}} They were first deployed in Earth's solar system at increasing distances from Earth, with the [[Evensong]] platform beyond Saturn being the most distant station as of the year 2211.{{book ref|elysium}} Many centuries later, the [[Superiority]] operates dozens of platforms of nearly identical design, including [[Starsight]].{{book ref|sky2|9}}{{book ref|sky2|28}} Similar platforms are also seen orbiting [[Detritus]].{{book ref|sky2|9}}
Humanity has also left their mark on the universe in the form of [[delver]]s, whom they've brough forth during the Second Human War, leading to the drastic decrease in the use of [[cytonics]]. This, alongside the history of conflict, is one of the reasons why they're so feared in the present day. This extends even to those trapped in the "preserve" planets, with many people afraid that humans would one day break out and go to war again. Those fears are often stoked by Superiority's Department of Protective Services, especially whenever they desire a bigger budget.{{book ref|sky2|19}}▼
