Hiver lifespans?

[J.C.D.]

I just read AR3 for GT and thought it was great, but I could not seem to find anything telling how long a hiver lived. Since they had no lifespan ads or disads, I guessed they lived about as long as humans.

Anyone care to confirm or correct this?

OK so I just got my copy of the FFE Re-print Alien Modules 5-8. In the Hiver section....

Aging Table says that Hivers begin their first "aging rolls" at 8th term (44 years old). Keep in mind also that Hivers begin adulthood at age 14.

In Basic Books, Humans are not affected by the Aging Tables until age 34 (end of 4th term)

Soooo.... this suggests that Hivers do indeed live longer than Humans, since aging does not affect them until later years, relative to Humaniti.

My book does not say anything about the average lifespan tho. My guess? I would say they live at least x1.5 Human years.

Didn't I also read somewhere that pure-genetic Vilani lifespan is typically around 200 years? (roughly double that of Solomani)
