The Tsal-Khan or the New Masters are a race that conquered Earth and enslaved mankind in the Outer Limits Universe.
Biology[]
They are humanoid, with leather ridged cranial, with hair growing at the base. They appear to be also long-lived as while twelve generations passed for humans since their enslavement, only a mere four had passed for the Tsal-Khan.
History[]
In the 21st century, Tsal-Khan came to Earth bearing gifts and wishes of peace. It was ignored by the humans who attacked and killed many of the Tsal-Khan. In retaliation the Tsal-Khan declared war on human. In the end humanity lost the war against the Tsal-Khan.
After the war the Tsal-Khan or New Masters as they forced their humans slaves to call them, interned the entire human race in work camps on the planet. Earth was mostly left untouched, as the planet was poisoned during the war, making all organic plant life inedible and poisonous. The work camps were mostly seen as a measure to slowly wipe out humanity under the direction of their android wardens.
However, over the course of twelve generations, the camps transformed into various states of disrepair as the New Masters had seemingly abandoned the facilities for a hundred years.
Culture[]
Contrary to how the humans portrayed them, the Tsal-Khan have values similar to humans: living and caring for one another in family units, holding loyalty and compassion for one another.
