I think they would be an interesting race to explore with some story content. Maybe even as a playable race.
It's actually kind of strange that so little has been done with them given their connection with so many events.
They may have been the first race assimilated by the Borg.
They can probably perceive the space time continuum.
They live far longer than any other race possibly into millennia.
They seem to have some kind of empathic ability possibly a kind of telepathy.
Just saying so little has been done but they do have some possibility's.

As a time traveller, Am I supposed to pack underwear or underwhen?

Theres plenty of development room considering what we have to go on should provide a good foundation for building up
And its well established that members of the race were very well traveled and live for a very, very long time, they could turn up anywhere within reason
They are listed as being either a beta quadrant or delta quadrant species.
Guinan also knew about the Q and knew our Q specifically. She also seemed to be able to sense his presence.

Nah el aurians have never been seen as that kind of adventurous. Most likely it would be some kind of XP boost or a team based thing. Their lifetimes spent mostly gathering stories and being all wise and ****.
Also I'm sure there's at least 1 RP'er who pretends to be 1000 years old anyway.

Of those people that actually write something substantial into their character bios and given it works and you can actually read it, omnipotent millenia old creatures that not seldomly look like tennage girls are ranked maybe second or third. Leading the board are probably relatives of Star Trek characters.

When I see a characterful avatar for good or ill I just have to right click on the info tab. Sometimes I read a cool story sometimes not so much.
My top vote goes to creepy "love slaves". I thought Orion women controlled others with their pheromones. It's like Dicken's Little Nell with green skin and sodomy.
Maybe there Jedi.

Well obviously we cant have green skin without sodomy, what are we? Barbarians?

I also noticed that STO avoided races that look exactly like humans, which quite a few 1-and-done species in TOS did. So you can just pretend that your human character is El-Aurian if you want.
I think you misread this thread.

I doubt there's much to explore, except maybe the fate of the other survivors of the Nexus incident. We've seen Guinan and Soran, but there was a whole ship of potential paradise-seeking supervillians we never saw again.
Ah but there's the rub, guinan was the only el aurian we saw more than once. And there are only 3 or 4 with names total in tv trek. One of whom was a con man.
Which is a good reason to explore them.

My character Tsin'xing
I still feel all that could really be worth a featured episode or arc is the survivors of the SS Lakul. The ribbon already drove one of its passengers to insane villainy, there could be more.
Charisma really seems to be their thing, they did nothing a Vulcan or anyone charismatic couldn't.
My character Tsin'xing
Nelan, the El-Aurian from "Temporal Ambassador", exhibits similar "abilities". Of course, it's possible he was also a survivor of the Nexus incident; I don't think we have any background on him.
While their abilities may or may not be cool, not what I would write a story about. I would go with their assimilation.
It's hinted that their contact with the Borg happened a long time ago and a long time to an el aurian is probably multiple centuries.
We know from dragons teeth that in the time of voyager the Borg were little more than a nuisance 900 years ago.
So it is possible that el auria(?) and the el aurians were one of the first races assimilated. ( since by default el auria(?) would have to be in or near the delta quadrant.)
The fun thing to explore would be if this happened while the Borg weren't much of a threat, and their assimilating the el aurians was a tipping point. Or if they were simply Poland to the borgs Hitler.

As I said probably some kind of team buff maybe a super nerfed but team wide version of the trill trait.
Really tho, it being a playable race is just a secondary thing for me. Neat if it happened but then even if it did I don't think I would level one up.
Might make for interesting boffs tho.

Hmmm... could be interesting
47 (45?) seems to small a number to make a race of. Unless they have procreated like crazy since their rescue.
I do like the idea of possible encountering them in in the past. I doubt that Guinan was the only El-Aurian to leave her home world and come to the Alpha Quadrant.
You know, at one point, in an age before FB/Twitter there was an extented discussion on the net/Newsgroups/EBBs of Boothby's origin. It was widely believed he was an El-Aurian. Turns out, he was born on Mars. You know, the colony Mars in the Sol system.
But I digress...
El-Aurian would make an interesting contribution to the stories told in the Adventure of our Officers, but I'd avoid adding the as a character choice. Unless, the Devs edit history by saying an entirely different group of them were discovered and brought to the Federation at a Stardate sometime after ST-TNG series ended.
I don't think it was ever stated that those were the only refugees.

I forgot about that.
I wonder f the el aurians were a race nearing the tipping point of becoming more, like the Q.
Maybe that's why they were assimilated.

We also know from Guinan that the Borg are at least 200,000 years old, so those Vaadwaur idiots probably severly underestimated the Borgs size.
I was talking about canon, where he never shows up.
That's the total age of the Borg, I was referring to them being the Borg we have now.
They obviously started some where and evolved into what they are now, we were never shown what they were before we first meet them.
Omg, what of the el aurians created the Borg.........
On a side note guinan seems to have first hand knowledge of her homeworlds fall so it still couldn't have happened more than 1000 years ago
