A theory I've been writing into a fiction for a while is that Earth is just the oldest planet with life on it and Humans are the most technologically advanced species in the universe. The reason nobody has contacted us is because the rest of the universe is still basically in the caveman stage. Of course, my story is set like 1000 years in the future, after we have FTL spacecraft and start finding alien life on other worlds to know this. Also: Things don't turn out well for the aliens.

Let's just hope the humans you are writing have moved past capitalism

NOPE! It's a cyberpunk dystopia. We're spreading crapitalism across the universe, like a plague!

The other thing I'm trying to do with this is have non-human primary character heroes in a world where humans exist, because I've never seen that in other fiction before. Avatar (the James Cameron film) was close; but the protagonist is still technically a human.

So Warhammer 40k but the emperors original crusades before the Horace heresy?

That's what your first paragraph brought to mind lol.

All I really know about Warhammer is that orks can collectively bend reality, and space is haunted.

Honestly you should look into it. I have a feeling you'd enjoy it.
