Leoniders

Leoniders (леонидяне) are a fictional alien race from the Noon Universe created by the Strugatsky brothers. Their homeworld is Leonida (Леонида), a planet discovered in 2133 AD by Leonid Gorbovsky.

Leoniders are mentioned in "Noon: 22nd Century", "An Attempt to Escape" and "Beetle in an Anthill".

Leoniders are humanoids like humans but somewhat smaller.

The term "technological advancеment" is not very appropriate to Leoniders since their "technology" is very different from humanity's. It is known, for example, that they live in a perfect symbiosis with major forms of flora and fauna of Leonida.

No data available despite the continuous diplomatic contact between Leonida and Earth.
