That's fair enough! On both accounts.

I'll reduce the age to roughly 750-850 (which is more than an extra 1/2 onto their lifespan), and I'll add a dot to the map.

As an aside, my thought as to why the Namilee live so long naturally (500 years) without life-extending medicines is basically this: there's something in the atmosphere and the water of their planet which actually works against the chief agents behind aging. That is, aging is partly caused by oxidative stress (IIRC), and they've got something in their atmosphere (which they've recreated on the ship) that works against that (though they still need oxygen to breathe). They also have different genetics from humanity, and their genes involve a slower aging process. But their genes also made them nigh-pacifistic nerds who got roflstomped by ugly bugs.

Which is why I'm still okay with several hundred years.

But, you know, the Xim could genetically enhance them to be stronger and faster and less pathetic, without increasing their aggression or anything. They do things like to themselves practically on a monthly basis :lol
