Taelon

The Taelons are an energy based species, closely related to the Jaridians, of whom they have been at war with for millions of years. The Taelons came to Earth early in the 21st century, refugees from their destroyed homeworld. By the time the Taelons arrived on Earth, there were less than a thousand left.

Due to their energy based anatomy, the Taelons have incredibly long lifespans. It is not uncommon for a Taelon to live for more than a thousand years. A caste based society, individual Taelons take up roles based on talent and possibly also based on heredity.
