What they have:

Immortal Vulcans that are a bit more chill
Personal cloaking device
Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.

Historically speaking Tolkien's elves aren't exactly known for being chill. Ha

"Sure, root beer drinking humie, you can wed my daughter, if you bring me a jewel. It's somewhere in Minas Corva, good luck, there are five lights, seeyoudeadbye..."
Sure they are. They're just a wee bit racist. "If your fitlhy dwarve wants to pass through our woods, he must be blindfolded and our lord and lady will get to decide if he leaves the woods alive or not."
