Elaysian

Sign in to edit

For a species with a similar name, see Elasian.

The Elaysians are a humanoid civilization native to the artificial planet known as Gemworld located somewhere in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrant. Due to the low-gravity environment on the planet, the Elaysians travel around their world by simply floating between various crystalline structures.

History and specifics[]

Even though Gemworld was a member of the United Federation of Planets by the 24th century, few Elaysians left their homeworld because of the intense gravity which would cause untold pain and discomfort to them. One member who did leave her planet was Melora Pazlar, who was forced to wear a Lieber exoskeleton just so she could operate in a normal gravity environment. (DS9 episode: "Melora"; TNG novels: Gemworld, Book One, Gemworld, Book Two; TTN novel: Taking Wing)

Politics[]

The Exalted Ones were the ruling Elaysian political body. (TTN novel: Taking Wing)

Elias Vaughn once witnessed the assassination of an Elaysian governor. (DS9 - Avatar novel: Avatar, Book One)

Vaughn had feared for a coup d'état against the Elaysian government in the year 2355. (DS9 novel: Lesser Evil)

Alternate realities[]

Mirror universe[]

In the mirror universe, there is also an Elaysian species native to Gemworld. They were almost entirely wiped out when Gemworld was destroyed by the Terran Empire in the 2270s decade. However, Elaysian refugees continued to exist until as late as 2376. In that year, Governor Khegh of Lru-Irr traded two Deltans for an Elaysian slave named Melora Pazlar, whom he kept in a clear-walled tank of ice cold water. Doctor Shenti Yisec Eres Ree told the governor that he failed to see the point of playing with a creature which one did not intend to eat. Khegh offered to give the Elaysian to Ree when he was finished with her. However, Ree declined, claiming that she was "too bony" and that he preferred prey who could run. (TTN - Mirror Universe- Shards and Shadows short story: "Empathy")
