Taelon

The Taelons are an extraterrestrial species that appear in the sci fi TV show Earth: Final Conflict.

History

Around eight million years ago, there existed the Atavus who were the precursor species to both the Taelons and the Jaridians before both races began alternate evolutionary paths. (Episode: The Summit)

It was noted that the Taelon's were scared of the shakarava organ and it's dark power which was why they abandoned it on their quest for spiritual perfection. However, this journey fixed them in a genetic state which resulted in a slow tide towards extinction. Certain elements within the Taelon race at one time wished to steal the core energy from their Jaridians cousins at the expense of that race. This was the source of the war between the Taelon's and the Jaridians with both sides trying to destroy the other. (Episode: Gauntlet)

Augur noted that the Taelon's were more evolved 20,000 years ago then their modern incarnation. (Episode: Keys to the Kingdom) Elements within the Taelon culture also covertly worked with groups within the Jaridian Imperium to solve their core energy crisis; these meetings were done in secret due to the hostilities between the two races. (Episode: The Summit)

A group of Taelons and Jaridians attempted to solve the core energy crisis by making use of the regeneration chamber of the scientist Ma'el who left a facility at a volcano on Earth. Members of the two race's gathered at the Atavan energy pool where they merged in an attempt to save their species from extinction. (Episode: Point of No Return) However, this led the re-emergence of the Atavus race with the Taelon civilization ceasing to exist. Though a single Taelon known as Ha'Gel remained as the repository of the Taelon Commonality which sought to end the Atavus menace. (Episode: Unearthed)

Background

In a time when their core energy was too low to sustain their race, the Taelon's were capable of entering into a hibernative state known as Death Stasis which allowed them to survive for extended periods of time but meant that they were inactive. However, this state terrifies certain Taelons who are willing to steal another's core energy to avoid the stasis. If aborted, the Taelon's will then be incapable of re-entering this state which mean's unless they find the secret of core energy then they will die. (Episode: Epiphany)

A Taelon that lacked core energy entered into a crystalline state which was a form of death to their kind. However, this being the case, some Taelon's were able to willingly enter this form and return to their natural energy based selves in order to trick potential enemies. (Episode: The Forge of Creation) Dark matter also had a negative impact on the Taelon body which slowed time for them and forced them into a frozen state that resembled stasis. (Episode: Dark Matter)

The core energy had healing properties on the Human body allowing them to cure illnesses and were part of a short lived venture known as the Blood Ties project. This energy lingered within the body and was capable of being drained for reuse by the Taelon's themselves from the Human; a process which killed them. (Episode: Blood Ties) Similarly, this energy was capable of being gifted to another Jaridian or child in order to aid them through a birthing process. (Episode: The Forge of Creation)

They were capable of providing mental stimulus to a Human mind through a mind probe. (Episode: Street Chase)

Young Taelon's embryo's were maintained within the Taelon Mothership where the ship's intelligence monitors over their development. (Episode The Phantom Companion)

Due to the close genetic link between them and the Jaridians, the two races were capable of merging with one another in order to restore the Atavus precursors which they thought was a way of solving their genetic problems. However, if done without artificial means, the process was unstable and after some time the merged being separated back into it's two genetic components. The Taelon is capable of surviving this merger but the Jaridian dies in the process. (Episode: The Summit)

Technology

General

The genetic technology of the Taelon's was quite advanced in some fields and was capable of restoring infertility in Human women through a regeneration lattice. (Episode: Lost Generation)

The Taelons's were quite adept in the use of deep stasis technology the protocols of which were only known to the Synod itself as a carefully guarded secret. (Episode: Trapped in Time)

The Taelon Mothership had proton missiles as part of its armaments. (Episode: Atonement)

Implants

The Taelons are quite skilled in the use of biological implants which are placed within the body of a host Human. This includes a security implant that can be covertly placed on a person. (Episode: Street Chase) Another was a neural implant which allowed the visual's of the host to be transmitted to the Taelons making it a surveilance device. (Episode: The Summit)

Nanomitters were another form of technology that was capable of being implanted within the body of a person and allowed for access to system's forbidden to normal personnel. This was also capable of producing a link to another Human which was so strong that the other believed the nanomitter equipped person with with them through a form of mind-link. (Episode: Hearts & Minds)

One noted implant was the CVI. Two such cyber viral implant's that possessed an indentical frequency were capable of shorting out the other. If within a host, then this resulted in the death of the Human. Such implant's are produced through the infusion of Taelon energy into Human incubators who are in a zombie-like state. (Episode: Lost Generation)

Interdimensonal

A cold fusion energy core was capable of powering a transportational portal that can allow travel between two distant locations. (Episode: The Summit)
