Ildirans In The Saga Of Seven Suns

This article describes fictional Ildiran characters featured in The Saga of Seven Suns, a series of science fiction novels written by Kevin J. Anderson. For a list of Human characters in the series see: Humans in The Saga of Seven Suns.

In this epic space opera, Ildirans were the first extra terrestrials that humanity encountered once our species became space bound. The Ildiran Empire has existed for over ten thousand years, living peacefully due to a communal mental interconnectedness called the thism. Each Ildiran has what is called a soulthread, and these soulthreads are woven together by their leader, the Mage-Imperator. Ildirans have a very specialized society, with specific castes that are adept at performing particular tasks. The castes are physically different from one another, and have different suffixes at the end of their names.
