Line 3: Calling Earth "Terra" may be a result of an [[Earth-That-Was]] scenario. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * In ''[[Trinity Blood]]'', [[Our Vampires Are Different\|Methuselahs]] refer to humans as Terrans. Because, as the [[All There in the Manual\|original novels reveal]], {{spoiler\|the first Methuselahs were created on Mars}}. Line 36: Though most of the time the Goa'uld word, Tau'ri, is used for humans from earth. * "Tau'ri" (lit. "The First World") is the name for Earth itself. Humans from Earth were originally referred to as "Humans of the Tau'ri," and was eventually shortened to just "Tau-ri" for the sake of brevity. * Played with and finally averted in [[Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series)\|the original ''[[Battlestar Galactica ~~Classic]]~~'']] -- "Terra" turns out not to be Earth, but rather a splinter group from the Thirteenth Tribe that colonized Earth. == [[Tabletop Games]] == * The ''[[BattleTech]]'' universe has the Terran Hegemony. * ''Renegade Legion'' has an imperial government known as the Terran Overlord Government. * Holy Terra is the homeworld of the Imperium of Man in the ''[[Warhammer ~~40000~~40,000]]'' universe. * The ''Starfire'' universe has the Terran Federation. * The Terran Confederation in [[Traveller]] Line 51: * The Galactic Terran Aliance from ''[[Free Space]]''. Earth is still Earth, however. ** In the sequel, two sides use Terran in their name: the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance (composed of humans and Vasudans) and the Neo-Terran Front (composed of anti-Vasudan human radicals, with a vision of 'Neo-Terra' as an utopia for humans). * In ''[[~~Starcraft~~StarCraft]]'', humans are called Terrans, but strangely, the planet is still called Earth every single time it's mentioned. And they're referred to as humans instead of terrans reasonably often. Starcraft is actually a weird case of this, as the terrans are the humans not associated with earth. The people from earth still call themselves humans. Line 74: [[Category:Speculative Fiction Tropes]] [[Category:This Index Earth]] [[Category:~~Planet Terra~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
