New Human

The New Humans were a sizeable group of Humans that were telepathically linked into a "group mind". Because of this, New Humans were more intelligent than normal Humans, but they also proved to be incapable of deep space exploration because they weren't able to cope when encountering individuals which were more intellectually developed than themselves.

By the 2270s, New Humans made up a sizeable percentange of Earth's population and they were increasingly critical of Starfleet's cost, aims, and core values. Because of this, Admiral Heihachiro Nogura, a seasoned veteran, was made Commanding Admiral as he was a symbol of Starfleet's values and helped to quash the critics.
