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 there 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 enviroment, and the remainder of their energy comes from anaerobic reaction in their cells. Despite these unique biological differences, Elaysians eat the same food and look quite similar to us. 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 enviroment. The Elaysians have been members of the Federation for almost a century, but few travel offworld 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.

*The Elaysian lowland is known for having a heavy rain season that affects the population. Typically the climate is an average of around 68F(Temperate rainforest) with mild humidity. However during this heavy rain season the Elaysian climate produces more rain, less mist, and an increased temperature of around 85F(Tropical Rainforest). With this increase paired with the Elaysian's reduced sweat glands a vast majority of the population is advised to stay inside during this time of the year.<ref> [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/authormsg$3Asb118-ops$2CBM_LXPdPAAAJ$20after$3A2019$2F11$2F1$20before$3A2019$2F12$2F1%7Csort:date%7Cspell:false/sb118-ops/N51wa9rUsS4/DodtvVBWBAAJ Lt.

Elaysia is known for it's delicious local fruit. When comparing the fruit from Earth one can consider the most common Elaysian fruit to be a massive hybrid of Earth fruits. Clòimh Mhilis Meas, or more commonly cotton candy fruit, is the size of a grapefruit but with the skin like an orange. This outer peal is great for jerky or making a candy out of. On the inside the fruit has a flesh that makes a bowl on the inside. This flesh is green, sweet, gummy like and shreds well like you see with coconut. This flesh is great to eat by itself or shaved on top of ice creams. Inside this bowl of fruit flesh you have the seeds. These seeds are the size of grapes but have the texture of tapioca balls. The flavor of these seeds are a mix of grapes and lime. Most make a wine out of these seeds.<ref> [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-ops/vU8a8uh5sjI Lt.
