Yes, my world has been called "Terra," though from what little I've already learned it seems possible that my Terra and yours are on different time-tracks. Certainly if you're from the 30th Millenium, though, the odds are very good you're from something ahead of me, in some sense.
I would appreciate your information very much, thank you. And -- if it's not too invasive, could you explain how an "Astarte" differs from "Mankind"? In my time and place the way you have used the term would indicate that the Astartes are in some sense separate from humanity as a whole... unlike Sparks, who constitute a distinct group within humanity, but who remain human: often the children of ordinary humans, or the parents of ordinary humans, and able to marry ordinary humans and produce families. The Spark distinction may run in families, but in no sense differently than, for example, my red hair or nearsightedness.
