- A humanoid race bearing a striking resemblance to Humans, their smooth forehead ridges and
inability to tolerate normal gravitational strain most easily identify Elaysians, however the
Elaysian bone structure is a honeycomb structure not unlike Avian's, leading to strong yet light
bones.Coming from a planet with very little gravity Elaysians in their natural habitat seem to
fly, as will any visiting off-worlders.
They are fiercely proud and often headstrong.Making good if somewhat impulsive members
of the Starfleet.

- Notes
- I use the Disadvantage 'Physically Impaired' very loosely here, Elaysians do not consider
their gravity intolerance a medical condition.In the case of the Elaysians 'Physically Impaired'
means that under any gravity condition higher than their norm, they find themselves trapped
and unable to move, or worse, crushed under their own weight.
- Within Starfleet, a number of ways have been designed to enable the few Elaysians
within Starfleet to function normally alongside their crewmates.Most opt for a low
power bionic frame and wheelchair/hoverchair for everyday use setting the
environmental controls in their quarters for their planetary norm. (1 point remedy)
Genetic therapy is also available, created by Dr. Julian Bashier, however as a result,
any Elaysian that successfully undergoes this therapy will be unable to tolerate their
planetary gravity again.(1 point remedy)
Lastly a full bionic frame is available enabling the Elaysian to enjoy both a full and
active life and still return to their natural gravity when they wish.(2 point remedy)
The homeworld was (I believe) never mentioned, and so I have stuck to Elays.
