The Earth branch of humanity has met many branches of humanity and other species since leaving the solar system. The Peloran are an example of a race that can almost pass for Terran. Their pointed ears and other features give them a rather elfin look, but with good makeup and careful grooming they can walk down the streets of Earth without being noticed. They have used this fact often to blend into our crowds, and there are stories of Peloran living in the more forested regions of Earth and her colonies. They always seem to want to get away from it all and rarely come to the big cities that many Earthers prefer. Their numbers are few, but they can be found.
