Who are the Thalan?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I was just curious, does any one know anything about the thalan. I've read the IGN thing, and It suggest that they are here from a different time to stop some event from occuring. I'll post what I think below this, but I want everyone to post what they think of Thalan, and were they came from.

Now for my opinion.
-I think the Thalan are some form of the Arnor who are here to stop the Dread Lords again. This would explain the whole "from a different time" deal, and go along with the story.

If you read Frogboy's post on the story of GalCiv he does say a little about the Thalan that you might like. It is in the dev journal section. Sorry I wasnt forward thinking enough to copy the link.

Brad said, "Which path players want to take the Terrans is up to them. And in Galactic Civilizations II, they can take charge of any of the 10 major civilizations or create their own unique one. So do you play the Torians and go for vengeance against the Drengin? Do you play as the Thalan who have come from the an alternative future that exists in the Galactic Civilizations III timeline and snuff out the Terran Alliance before they destroy the universe? Or do you play as the evil Drengin who want to conquer everyone because skin is so good and variety truly is the spice of life."
