Humans

Humans exist on many planets throughout the galaxy and beyond. They mostly belong to one of the major Factions depending on their view of government and relations with other sentient species. Humans have a naturally short life span, but have the technology to prolong life, using an anti-ageing virus derived from Elven DNA. The first enhancement takes place at age 30 and halves the rate of ageing, the second and final enhancement takes place at age 50 and vastly slows down the rate of ageing, so that enhanced humans have an indefinite life span similar to most other sentient beings.
