'''Elaysia'''<ref group="note">In some Beta Canon sources, Elaysia is called '''Gemworld''' due to it being made of crystals. This doesn't seem to be the case in 118Canon. See [https://memory-beta.fandom.com/wiki/Gemworld Gemworld], Memory Beta.</ref>, more specifically '''Elaysia II'''<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Isannah/-10407015000008c5sv Re: USS Isannah: Ensign Terook], Ens Kareyna Terook, {{USS|Isannah}}, 237912.24</ref><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-astraeus/c/uOUhfOKHzQg/ Drown], Ens Sheila Bailey, {{USS|Astraeus}}, 239606.16</ref>, is the homeworld of the [[Elaysian]]s and a member of the [[United Federation of Planets]]. The surface gravity on the planet is only a fraction of the standard gravity on most habited planets. As the local species, including Elaysians, have evolved in the low-gravity environment, moving to higher gravity environment causes them mobility issues. Elaysia is largely a tropical planet. | |||
'''Elaysia''' is a member of the [[United Federation of Planets]]. | |||
== Physical characteristics == | |||
A notable characteristic of Elaysia is the planet's unusually low gravity.<ref name="MA Elaysians">[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Elaysian_homeworld Elaysian homeworld], Memory Alpha</ref> The gravity is only ⅛ of the standard gravity, such as the one experienced on the surface of the [[Earth]]. In the low gravity of Elaysia, dense objects such as individuals would not typically float, but falling would take significantly longer. As such, a person could jump further and remain in the air longer than in standard gravity, allowing more mobility mid-jump.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/RScQWmOB5Uo/ My first dinner guest], LtJG Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239707.03</ref> | |||
Elaysia experiences rainy seasons that could last months. The increase in humidity made locals feel hot, flushed and dizzy.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/4dFenx9gO2E/ Mush in the head], LtJG Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239611.27</ref> Even outside the rainy seasons, Elaysia has high humidity.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/B93clXIlf_w/ A Respectfully Day Out With A Friend Part 2], LtCmdr German Galven & LtJG Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239710.18</ref> The average climate on Elaysia is warm.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/Jm6Ln63E6jo/ Calling All Boasts], Lt Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239904.23</ref> In most habited areas, cold weathers are rare and occure when the rain season coincides with mid-winter.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/bUzmVwbEom4/ Lost in thought], Lt Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239710.28</ref> | |||
Elaysia has oceans, seas and mountains.<ref name="Butterfly Queen">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/nxYwfXlnToE/ Butterfly Queen], LtJG Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239707.20</ref> | |||

== Flora and Fauna == | |||
The species on Elaysia have evolved in the planet's low gravity. Due to the anatomical differences, adjusting to standard or high gravity is difficult or impossible. In higher gravity environments such as most habited planets and Starfleet ships and stations, Elaysians typically needed to use wheelchairs or exoskeletons for support to allow them to move. Some types of medical treatments allowed Elaysians to better function in standard gravity environments, but these treatments are experimental and unreversible, and thus typically undesired.<ref>[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Elaysian Elaysian], Memory Alpha</ref> | |||
Parts of Elaysia is covered in tropical rainforests and jungles.<ref name="Romance Is In The Air" /> | |||
Elaysian butterflies live near the seas. In folklores, spotting a butterfly by a body of water indicated calm waters.<ref name="Butterfly Queen" /> Mermaid sharks are a species of flat-faced fish living in warm waters, often fished by Elaysians.<ref name="Romance Is In The Air">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/LgLbSECKHgk/ Romance Is In The Air], Lt Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239812.23</ref> | |||
Other species native to Elaysia include wild deers<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/Wd9E3YxTQOE/ How can I assist?], Lt Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239812.21</ref> and dogs<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/vtnIqugBOdM/ Wings In Space], LtJG Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239707.13</ref>, as well as various fruits<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/YSEcIXY6yC4/ Karaoke?], LtJG Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239701.30</ref> and flowers<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/BK1l2i-VHIM/ Making friends and adjustments], LtJG Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239701.05</ref>. | |||

== History == | |||
According to a local creation myth, the planet was formed of a dust cloud.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/5N4yMXAHVMw/ Floating], Lt Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239802.19</ref> Further myths state that all Elaysians decent from three women. These three women were each a third of the planet to govern, and they would create these areas according to their preferences. Butterfly Queen created seas, the Palm Fairy governs rainforests and The Woman of The Mountain Halls the mountains.<ref name="Butterfly Queen" /> | |||
Even after achieving warp drive and joining the interstellar community, few Elaysians left their homeworld. In part due to the limitations caused by different higher gravity than on their homeworld, very few Elaysians joined Starfleet, first being in the late 24th century.<ref name="MA Elaysians" /> | |||
