Leoniders

Leoniders

Leoniders (леонидяне) are a fictional alien race from the Noon Universe created by the Strugatsky brothers. Their homeworld is Leonida (Леонида), a planet discovered in 2133 AD by Leonid Gorbovsky.

Leoniders are mentioned in "", "An Attempt to Escape" and "Beetle in an Anthill".

Appearance

Leoniders are humanoids like humans but somewhat smaller.

Technological advancement

The term "technological advancеment" is not very appropriate to Leoniders since their "technology" is very different from humanity's. It is known, for example, that they live in a perfect symbiosis with major forms of flora and fauna of Leonida.

Leoniders and Humans

No data available despite the continuous diplomatic contact between Leonida and Earth.
