The Elachi's homeworld was originally located within the Mycelial Network, however an unknown event decades — perhaps centuries — ago prompted them to leave the Network to reside within normal space. They have not returned since and their origins within that subspace realm are unknown to all, except perhaps the highest echelons of Starfleet Command (due to the ''P.stellaviatori'' spores that often present in the presence of their technology). | |||

The origins and use of ''P.stellaviatori'' are highly classified within Starfleet and is generally considered a rare and mysterious spore among the scientific community. | ||
