Elves are among the oldest spacefaring race in all of the five galaxies and one of the oldest races in existence, They come in 4 varieties Floranesti or Forest elves, Luminesti or Light elves, Dakkonesti or Dark Elves, and Celesti Celestial Elves. All are immortal in that they cannot die from the passage of time but they are quite vulnerable to injury and disease as any other mortal life form. Each type of elf has their own way of doing things though all excel in the use of magic. Luminesti are very often found in the company of Solarans and have also been known to mate with them. Luminesti are lovers of nature though less so than other elves except Dakkonesti. Dakkonesti elves have skin as black as pitch and have a strong aversion to light they are thought to be evil though they are no more so than other species. They too are often found in the company of Solarans who find them exotic and sensual. Floranesti are more primitive and any technology they do possess is strictly magical or organic and often both. They rarely associate with non-Elves though once their trust is earned they are loyal forever. Celesti elves are what people usually think of when one hears the name Elf, their worlds are covered with lush forests and towering crystal cities they excel in art and music and all other forms art including the arts martial ie warfare. They are fearsome warriors and like all elves are quite proficient in the use of the blade and the bow though mostly as a matter of tradition. They possess technology, magic, and organic technologies that are above most in the five galaxies. They only associate with "Important Soloarans and leaders or emissaries from other worlds and while they have been known to mate with other species, doing so is cause for banishment and shunning and the offender never be accepted into their society again. They tend to look down on the lesser races but would never abandon them entirely it is not uncommon for Solarans to lose their temper and get into a fist fight with a Celesti elf as Solarans view their type of Egotistical behavior as repulsive.
