History

The Ellora were one of two primitive races, including the Tarlac, that were conquered by the Son'a in 2325. By 2375, both the Ellora and the Tarlac were fully integrated into the So'na society as indentured servants.

Currently very little is known about their history as the Son’a seem to be completely uninterested and have never recorded any data in regards to this subject.

Government

They have no government of their own and are ruled by the Son’a. This takes the form of a Governor with a staff of 10 other Son’a acting as his official cabinet. Each is responsible for a different aspect of the current ruling body and reporting directly to the governor. As such they are part of the Son’a Solidarity.

Description

The Ellorans are humanoids with heads that are surrounded by a patterned bone plate. The female and male Ellora shared the exact same look. They have a dark brown skin complexion, no facial hair and are all bald.

Physiology

As with most complex intelligent humanoid species they have a fairly complex system of specialized organs, hormones, chemicals, enzymes and systems. Currently our knowledge of their physiology is very sparse as there is very little data in the Son’a data banks regarding this subject.

Psychology

They are definitely the less emotional of the two subject species controlled by the Son’a. They seem to be stoic, reserved and aloof most of the time. Going about their work in a calm, unhurried manner. They seldom ever seem to be shaken or unnerved by a situation.

Religion

Nothing is currently known about this aspect of their society as the Son’a seem to be completely uninterested and have never recorded any data in regards to this subject.

Mythology

Nothing is currently known about this aspect of their society as the Son’a seem to be completely uninterested and have never recorded any data in regards to this subject.

Society

Formerly a primitive race, the Ellora, along with the Tarlac, were fully integrated into Son'a society as indentured servants by 2375. Now they can be found on virtually every colony, outpost, facility and world controlled by the Son’a.

They perform most of the heavy labor and less skilled work needed to keep the Son’a Solidarity functioning and productive. This suits them as they tend to be a hardworking, practical people.

Culture

The use of drums and other percussion instruments forms the basis for their music which is usually accompanied by clapping or stomping their feet. If there is any vocal element it usually takes the form of chants that the crowd will repeat over and over in a complex pattern.

Customs

They tend to live in extended families and normally the majority of the family will all be part of the same trade or job force. They also tend to mate with others from the same field or occupation group.

Technology

Before being conquered by the Son’a they were primitive people just starting to develop a thriving industrial economy. Now they have fully adapted and are able to use most of the technology available to the Son’a.

Economy

They were fairly self-sufficient before being conquered but now provide the Son’a with anything and everything they need. They also trade almost exclusively with the Tarlac.

Military

They have no military capability of their own as they were conquered by the Son’a. However some of the males have been formed into infantry units that are used as expendable troops when needed.

Federation Intelligence Files

The Elloran are part of the Son’a Solidarity, having become fully integrated into their society after being conquered. At this time they do not seem to be that motivated to rebel and actually seem to be working towards improving their position with in this society.

Elloran women are indentured as personal servants on most Son'a spacecraft.
