# Humanity’s optimal outcome: the universe’s most common species and master diplomats Founder-stated cosmic north star; speculative diplomacy. Within Necromancer’s cosmic horizon, the optimal outcome for humanity (summum bonum and exitus optimus) is to become the most common species in the universe (species frequentissima in universo), not by annihilating or subjugating other worlds, but by becoming the master diplomats, mediators, and negotiators (legati magistri et proxenetae pacis) of all other alien civilizations, just like in Star Trek or Star Wars.

This page expands the “Humanity’s optimal outcome: the universe’s most common species and master diplomats” chapter in the storyworld collection. ## Chapter notes Within Necromancer’s cosmic horizon, the optimal outcome for humanity (summum bonum and exitus optimus) is to become the most common species in the universe (species frequentissima in universo), not by annihilating or subjugating other worlds, but by becoming the master diplomats, mediators, and negotiators (legati magistri et proxenetae pacis) of all other alien civilizations, just like in Star Trek or Star Wars. In both Star Trek and Star Wars, humans are neither the physically strongest species, nor the oldest, nor the most telepathically or technologically specialized in every domain. Instead, humans become ubiquitous across the galaxy because they are the universal connectors: the species that can sit at the same table with Vulcans, Andorians, Tellarites, Klingons, Wookiees, Twi’leks, and droids, translate incompatible priorities, and broker a workable foedus (treaty and federation). Applied to the Necromancer guild and GiveGigs ethos, diplomatic ubiquity begins at home. A civilization that wishes to negotiate peace and resource-sharing across star systems must first learn to negotiate honestly across its own disciplines, classes, and ecological boundaries: between patrons (Liches), contributors (Leeches), the planetary biosphere (Lichen), and shared attention (Likes). Master negotiators do not rely on coercion; they build protocols where every party retains agency and exit rights (bona fides and pacta sunt servanda). No verified extraterrestrial civilization has been contacted, and science-fiction franchises remain cultural touchstones rather than astronomical forecasts. Yet the strategic principle holds: the species that masters empathy, clear translation, fair trade, and polycentric coalition-building makes itself welcome everywhere. ## Dossier section [Open this exact section in the Necromancer dossier](/necromancer#galactic-diplomacy-star-trek).
