I remembered some pen and paper saga called "mechwarrior"
In this game, the whole galaxy was populated by humans and there were no aliens or something around. Over the ages many empires where created and ripped apart. However, one thing always stayed the same: the clans. The clans were some really rough factions in a small region of the outer realms of the galaxy. over thousands of years, they lived in the constant state of war against each other. they enhanced them selves genetically over and over again and the only thing they researched for, where new weapons and technologies they had lost due to the merciless wars.
However, every few centuries ALL the clans formed an alliance and raided the inner sphere. they mostly had one target: terra. they caused the rich empires to collapse, and as they moved into the inner sphere like a chock, they started to fight over the the dead bodies of the old empires again and ended up to continue their blood feud, to be pushed back into the outer regions of the galaxy in decades.
Why am I coming up with that stuff? because the phantoms, the Wild and the RoS and even the SCRA reminded me of those clans: Deadly, Superior, always fighting, few in numbers.
just some thoughts ...
