Ancients are a colloquial term used to refer exceptionally long-lived individuals. Since it is a colloquial term, there is not a universal definition, but a good rule of thumb in determining whether or not someone is an Ancient is whether or not they were born before the [[Unification Wars]]. As of modern day in To the Stars they are typically over the age of 350.
