Salitarians

The Salutarians was a non-corporeal species hailing from Salitarius. Existing for dozens of millennia, the Salitarians found pleasure in "sailing in circles" in the section of the Alpha Quadrant they were located in. They liked to do this because of the many of species they saw rise, die, and leave throughout the many, many years they've existed in their non-corporeal form.

The Salitarians were pacifistic beings, Ailm'marrar, a Salitarian elder, once said:"I believe our destiny to evolve into our non-corporeal form was sealed when our species stopped annihilating millions of its own all those years ago, world peace was very progressive for my people."

History
Salitarians' non-corporeal form dates back dozens of millennia, when they began developing psionic and "otherworldly" abilities. They eventually started being able to project themselves into an energy form until they became energy. They decided to use the vast advantages of their non-corpeal form to travel the galaxy, cataloging thousands of planets and species throughout the Alpha Quadrant. By the time they reached the borders of the Alpha, Beta, and Gamama quadrants five-hundred-years had passed.

Back in the Salitarius sector, the sector of space the Salitarians originated from, Salitarians had constructed gigantic, multi-generational ships powered and operated by the bio-energy flowing throughout the Salitarians. These ships were known as Himuliats, Salinese for Big transports. After a millennium one-hundred Himuliats had been constructed and mIllinois of Salitarians had set out to explore the Quadrant, setting up dozens of colonies, although these colonies had dozens of light-years of distance between them, this was because Salitarians valued isolation and privacy, even amongst their own people. This isolation and privacy was extreme, people were still allowed to visit and pass by their colonies, but the Salitarians just liked the quietness.

By the time period of Ancient Egypt was ending the Salitarians had decided to colonize the inhabitated worlds of the Quadrant, from Humans to Ferengi, observing corporeal life and their variations from planet to planet. The Salitarian elder Ailm'marrar stated that out of the dozens of species his people had observed and catalogued for centuries, the worst was the Bajorans, Ailm'marrar rationalized his people's opinion by saying this:"The First Republic, even during their final days, were incredibly sophisticated. They made untold numbers of advances in science, mathematics, arts, music, et cetera. And yet, they clung to their "religion" and allowed themselves to be both regressive and progressive by believing and worshiping the "Prophets", and if they just decided to look up at the sky once in a while or really looked at a scientific textbook, they would've figured out eventually that they were nothing more than very powerful, extra-dimensional, non-linear entities. That's why my species looks down upon Bajor unhappily."
