In 2293, a group of 415 El-Aurian refugees aboard two separate vessels attempted to journey to Earth, following their escape from the Borg, when they were caught in and subsequently destroyed by the Nexus energy ribbon, near the Sol system. The attending [[Starfleet]] vessel was able to rescue just 47 of the 415 refugees. | In 2293, a group of 415 El-Aurian refugees aboard two separate vessels attempted to journey to Earth, following their escape from the Borg, when they were caught in and subsequently destroyed by the Nexus energy ribbon, near the Sol system.

Originating from the Phraatian Empire on El-Auria's eastern mega-continent, the martial art of Tworin grew extremely popular with the rise of Phraatian Orientalism and was eventually exported to other worlds when the El-Aurians achieved spaceflight. It was brought by El-Aurian refugees to Earth where it has become a vibrant sport practiced by El-Aurians and non-El-Aurians alike. Tworin is fought with fought with steel blades similar to the Chokutō of the Japanese Samurai but with a flat end for the rectangular blade, made for hacking and slashing instead of thrusting and piercing. The blades are swung powerfully and widely and the match does not end at a single touch. Unlike many martial arts, Tworin uses the original configuration of the Phraatian blades which were made for war, not sport and have not been modified other than being blunted. | Originating from the Phraatian Empire on El-Auria's eastern mega-continent, the martial art of Tworin grew extremely popular with the rise of Phraatian Orientalism and was eventually exported to other worlds when the El-Aurians achieved spaceflight.
