[@duck55223][@Dinh AaronMk]My only issue is that his nation's history and how they came to be would not mesh well with what kind of history I had for the Glorph at all.
His nation became enlightened after they realized they aren't alone.
In my version Martians invaded Earth as early as in the 19th century, just like in the original War of the Worlds.
Their defeat at the hands of these primitives was one of the gradually piling up reasons why the Glorph Empire hates humans with passion.
Similarly:

Reminder that Humans are responsible for the Sauru'u pests.

Can we reconcile these?
On the other hand given how huge impact the Precursor artifacts had on humans the fact they had massive amount of alien contact would be contradictory. which is why I brought this up.
Besides, we have a damn FtL network, not meeting bunch of sentient races after a few years or even decades after a gate's discovery is practically impossible.
That and the Glorph used to have a Mars colony and almost made Humanity into one, too (well, their attack only extended to Britain).

Can you think of a better name for your civilization, though?
Officially calling them just as "Humanity" is so bland there's a reason why no sci-fi does that. It just doesn't work.
