Terran
Earth-origin space civilization
Terran means of or from Earth, used almost exclusively in science fiction to distinguish humans and their world from alien species and planets.
A Terran is an Earth native: The Terrans negotiated a treaty with the Martian colony.
The word derives from Latin *terra* (earth), paralleling how Martian comes from Mars.
