Elendri

The Elendri are an ancient, proud species of humanoids. Their race has a long and storied history, having existed long before humans even knew what the solar system looked like. 
Elendri culture and society is split between two major subspecies; Casethian and Shadethian. Caseth is the birthplace of the Elendri species, and capitol of their empire, from which the Casethians hail. Shadeth, on the other hand, is the largest and most prosperous colony world of the Empire, having given rise to the Shadethians.
Casethians are the 'original' Elendri, being more fair of skin (lighter blue, pinks, faded violets, and even tan amongst some family lines) and typically having downward-sloping ears. Casethian society is easily identified by its almost feudal, medieval nature, with the Emperor or Empress nearly always being of Casethian descent.
Shadethians are a subspecies of their Casethian progenitors, being darker of skin (dark blues, purples, rich violets, and very rarely, an almost black coloration) and typically having upward-sloping ears. Shadethian society is less rigid, having a near-democratic process that is allowed to occur on Shadeth in exchange for the colony's cooperation and continued integration as part of the Empire.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Elendri are remarkably similar to humans save for a few key phyiscal traits. They stand upright, and have a largely human-like biology. Unlike humans, Elendri have long, thin ears that curve either directly back, downward, or upward depending on their ethnicity or subspecies. Their eyes often taken on a psionically attuned glow, and have dark pupils. Their bodies are often skinnier and more elongated than those of humans, as well as being taller than the average human.

Genetics and Reproduction

Elendri reproduce much the same way a human would, albeit with a longer gestation period of 13 months.
It is worth noting that if Elendri interbreed with an alien species, the Elendri genetic traits will always be dominant.

Ecology and Habitats

Elendri are well suited to temperate environments, having difficulty in extreme cold or heat. They also require oxygen to breathe, and exhale carbon dioxide.
Compared to other species, Elendri are one of the more adaptable forms of sapient life, much like humans.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Elendri are omnivorous, able to eat just about any food item, given that it is cooked properly and free of contaminants that their bodies aren't able to digest, or that could harm them.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Elendri are naturally psionically sensitive, making them excellent spies, warriors, and psions.
