A few generations before the 2370s, they started interstellar exploration, and soon thereafter developed terraforming technology, and started a colonization program. | |||
A group of luddites, known as Regressives by mainstream Enarans, rejected modern technology and cleaning methods. Eventually, they were forcibly rounded up by soldiers, after which they disappeared. Originally, it was said that they had chosen to resettle in a colony, but had all died due to violence and disease. However, the Regressives had been forced to relocate, and they themselves believed that they were being murdered. During this period, the Enarans utilized public executions on Regressives. | |||
In 2373, the USS Voyager became the first Federation ship to make contact with the Enarans. They shuttled a group of them from the Fima colony to their homeworld, and hoped to have trade negotiations and shore leave there. However, this was cancelled after B'Elanna Torres experienced intense telepathic memories, which were discovered to be a purposeful telepathic transfer of memories of an older Enaran woman nearing death to B'Elanna. They consisted of memories of what was done to the Regressives, and how this history was concealed. Upon finding the memories to be genuine, Torres passed them on to a young Enaran and, presumably, started the Enarans on a road to addressing their past.<ref>[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Enaran?so=search "Enaran"], Memory Alpha</ref> | |||

Ultimately even this arrangement was considered insufficient, and they were subject to a "voluntary resettlement" in a new colony. Fearmongering regarding their refusal to utilize modern hygiene instruments was utilized as an excuse, with claims that the Regressives would cause a surge in disease. Others argued that, through their rejection of technology, the luddites were holding the Enarans back. Regressive "criminals" were described as a growing threat to society. | |||
The resettlement was a gradual effort by government troops, spread over at least two months. Lists were produced and the Regressives were rounded up. The lack of contact from resettled Regressives, an odd observation considering their aversion to technology, led to speculation that the resettlement was in fact an extermination; the transport ships utilized in the operation, some theorized, did not actually travel anywhere, and that the Regressives were incinerated with a thermal sweep. Thousands of them were claimed to have been taken by the soldiers. After all the luddites were removed, Enaran history recorded that they were the ones who wanted to leave, and that they had died due to violence and disease at their new home. | |||

The District Education Center, which employed junior tutors, is a prestigious education center, but getting in might be made easier by having a Citizenship Award.<ref>[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Radioseptic "Radioseptic"], Memory Alpha</ref> | |||
A minority group in their population (called Regressives by other Enarans) rejected all modern technology. They were the subject of fearmongering, with claims that they would cause disease due to their refusal to use modern hygiene instruments. Others argued that, through their rejection of technology, the luddites were holding the Enarans back. Many mainstream Enarans believed that they spread lies and lacked a conscience. They were also believed to cause dissent and doubt, and have a destructive influence. This group was segregated in their own villages and were forced to wear identification devices that other Enarans didn't have to wear. They were eventually killed by government troops, and the Enaran government tried to cover it up.<ref>[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Regressive "Regressive"], Memory Alpha</ref> | |||

The Enarans dine without conventional seating, and are prone to take naps on soft cushions immediately after a meal. | |||
They create music, some of which is performed on a harplike musical instrument which produces melodious tones. A musician plays the instrument by holding it in his lap and manipulating a half-sphere surface with the tips of the fingers.<ref>[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Radioseptic "Radioseptic"], Memory Alpha</ref> | |||
