celestials
Denizens of space
Celestials are beings from the heavens—gods, angels, or other divine creatures in mythology and religion.
The term appears frequently in fantasy games and fiction to describe a category of supernatural entities opposed to demons or infernals.
In historical usage, Celestials referred to Chinese people, from the translation of China as the "Celestial Empire"—a term now considered dated and offensive.
