Avadorian

"From a distant corner of the Milky Way, the Avadorians are a frank, elvish people.  Extremely tall and lithe, they tend to have light constitutions and a bit more sensitive to gravity than some of the other races.  However, despite their physical shortcomings, they value education and culture, and while their speech may sound stilted and halting to untrained ears, rest assured it is quite beautiful to those that can properly appreciate it.  Basically, they’re kind of snobs, but smart ones, and useful.  They tend to end up in specialized positions that don’t require a lot of labor, but do require a lot of studying.  Expect them to be know-it-alls.  Even if they aren’t, they’d want you to think so."
