But we already had the Darrians, why another half-hearted attempt at Elves?

My impression of the article was that someone wanted to make a visibly different but still "normal" human race. It actually read to me like Switzerland as a planet with attached empire. .

Gurps Traveller: Humaniti had a full article on the Syleans as a minor race. They were described as tall and massive, typically left-handed, quite pale, and favouring facial hair.

Eh? I remember tall and pale. But IIRC they were supposed to tend toward slimness. I don't recall anything about facial hair.

To be honest, I thought of Sylean's as someone's half-hearted attempt at an "elven" race for Traveller.
