Elaysian: Difference between revisions

[[ma:Elaysian|Elaysians]] are mostly [[ma:Humanoid|humanoid]] with two bizarre exceptions. The very low gravity of their homeworld has caused an atmosphere that is more akin to pre-terraform [[ma:Mars|Mars]] than of a [[ma:Class M|class M]] world. This has created difficulty in their assimilation into the galactic culture, since no other humanoid race is as accustomed to low gravity as them. Their physiology is very different also in that they require only .16% oxygen in a standard pressure environment, and the remainder of their energy comes from anaerobic reaction in their cells. Despite these unique biological differences, Elaysians eat the same types of food and look quite similar to humans. They also cannot interbreed with other humanoid races because of these differences, however. They require the use of a limited motor support exoskeleton for living in a standard class M environment. The Elaysians have been members of the Federation for almost a century, but few travel off world because of the need to use anti-grav wheelchairs whenever they leave. [[ma:Ensign|Ensign]] [[ma:Melora Pazlar|Melora Pazlar]] is the first native to be in [[ma:Starfleet|Starfleet]]. They are familiar with mass transit concepts, including the old Terran "trolley car". They are not to be confused with the [[ma:Elasian|Elasians]] of the [[ma:Tellun system|Tellun system]] in the [[ma:United Federation of Planets|UFP]]-[[ma:Klingon Empire|Klingon]]-border area.
