The '''Balorians''' are a [[Near-Human]] species originating from the [[Talon IV System]], specifically from the planet [[Baloria]]. The [[Talon IV System]] is found in the [[Talon Sector]] in the [[Middle Rift Galaxy]]. Once a penal colony established by the [[Talonian|Talonians]], the Balorians, over a millenia, evolved into a distinct culture shaped by their environment and proximity to a [[Teleka Nexus|Teleka nexus]]. Known for their rigid caste system and mastery of [[Teleka Magic]], the Balorians are both enigmatic and feared throughout the [[Galaxa]]. | |||
