Excuse me from not posting earlier. This is the fluff present at RT about the Slann:
History
Of all the races of the Galaxy Slann claim to be, and it's most possible they are, the oldest of all. The days of their bright empire are waning, but nevertheless they still are one of the most enigmatic of the known species. During the highest days of their empire they discovered and nurtured lots of primitive creatures, forcing evolutionary processes in countless worlds, eliminating or moving dangerous species and planting the life seeds in various planets. During millenia they experimented and played with the Galaxy, possibly creating most of the actual species. But their empire began to collapse, their civilization slowed down, and their genetic experiments were abandoned for the most part.
The Slann retired from their active paper in the galaxy's whereabouts, falling into a long sleep of unconcienzousness and introspection. It seems that they didn't suffer any kind of phisical conflict, there are no registers of destructive wars of natural catastrophes. It seems that their racial motivations suffered a sudden and drastic change, which made them lose interest in material conquests. Maybe the Slann discovered something still unknown to the other races, perhaps some kind of universal secret, spiritual truth or a supreme mystical revelation. In the fields of physical philosofy ans mystical technology slann are the unparalleled masters.
Slann evolved from an anphibious race, and nowadys it's still possible to see some rests in their anatomy. Their hands and feet are long and membranous, their skin cold and ever humid, their heads big with protruding eyes. They feel at home in water, and they are able to breath the oxygen contained within it (and within any poorly oxygenated atmosphere). Slann vary wildly in colour - green and blue are common, yellow is well represented and there are lots of stranger combinations of colours, even albines. The more brightly pigmentated Slann are very extrovert people, with a great talent in some filed of science or art. Skins are commonly marked in some ways (spots, lines, etc). In some Slann worlds (specially in the primitive ones)this marks represent tribal divisions. Height is almost constant, reaching 2 meters, with females being taller and bulkier.
Slann inhabit an area north of the galactic pole, living in a number of prosperous, closer planets. Their society stands closed to outsiders, but it seems fairly homogeneous...
