The year 10,000 is the current date according to the Gregorian calendar. While technically it belongs to the ninth millennium CE, most believe it to be the beginning of the tenth millennium.
Humanity
Population
Humanity exists as a loose and widespread collection of independent colonies and settlements. These colonies are spread across the entire Milky Way and have recently begun to appear in nearby galaxies, such as the Large and Small Magellanic Cloud, Sagittarius Dwarf, Andromeda, Triangulum, Rentxo and Drake galaxies due to the invention of the wormhole drive. Currently, the universal human population totals 7 trillion, which is spread across roughly 200 million human colonies, 120 million of which are located upon planets and moons while the rest exist as space stations, asteroid-based facilities, or floating cities.
The most densely populated region of human space can be found within the Milky Way's Orion Arm. Known as the Orion Stretch, is extends roughly eight-thousand light-years between Barnard's Loop and the Carina Nebula. Here, just under 95 million colonized solar systems, including Sol, can be found.
They are connected by the influence of the Confederacy of Humanity, which mostly acts merely as an agent for providing protection and justice across human space. This has allowed the emergence of independent governments, such as the Centauri Confederacy and the Nexus of Humanity which continue to exist today.
