Humans Are Warriors: Difference between revisions

* [[Robotech]]: A series about an alien ship that crashes on earth giving humans access to advanced technology. Humanity weaponizes the tech and not long after finds itself embroiled in war with giant aggressive humanoid aliens over a powerful energy source.

 

* ''[[Renegade (fanfic)|Renegade]]: ''The ''[[Command & Conquer]]''/''[[Mass Effect]]'' crossover. Humans are essentially this. The main strength of humanity is that they became tough, strong, resourceful, and resilient because they were [[Death World|surviving on a world where the very ground was trying to kill them.]] As a result, they developed a mentality of aggressive, conservative militancy and devised advanced technology to simply survive on their homeworld. Once they got off Earth in large numbers (thanks to mass effect technology) they turned the same [[Green Rocks]] ravaging their homeworld into the means to fund an aggressive expansion into the galaxy, which subsequently allowed them to form a political/military bloc independent of the Citadel. Between their tech, mindset, and economic power, GDI became a major player in galactic politics mere decades after making [[First Contact]].

** Its prequel, ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6965762/1/Eagles_Fall Eagle's Fall]'', goes into detail on this, at least with regards to the turians' reactions during the war on Shanxi. The GDI humans' ferocity and technology forces the Hierarchy's troops into a brutal ground war that costs them a tremendous amount of lives and equipment, and while the human defenders are eventually overwhelmed, they force the turians to ''respect'' their capacity for violence.
