Gluon

Gluons were the particles that carried gluism. These particles were massless when travelling freely, at which point they would travel at the speed of light like photons. However, within a system projecting gluism, these particles had mass and their range was therefore limited. Gluons formed colour bonds between quarks to form hadrons and nuclear bonds between hadrons to form nuclei. Gluons had no charge and had a spin of 1, putting them in the same particle family as photons, debilons and nullons.
