 **Patricians** are the social, physical, and intellectual elites of Elysian society. They are extremely physically strong, many are even strong enough to fly. Elysian society moves and aligns at the whim of the Patrician minority, a long-standing reality due to both tradition and religion. Being pure-blooded 'Elysian', Patricians naturally dominate over the multitudes of lesser, impure Elysians. Playing a Patrician is reserved for experienced players, and requires [[guide:game_master]] permission. **Patricians** are the social, physical, and intellectual elites of Elysian society.

-**Caelisolans** are a genetically engineered replacement for the Plebeian subspecies. As an effort to eliminate "impure" blood from the Elysian genome, [[faction:elysia:government:senate]] started a sweeping program to transfer the souls of all Plebeians into Caelisolan bodies by [[calendar:YE 32]]. The project was mostly completed, however logistical difficulties caused by the invasion of the NMX and cost overruns kept it from affecting certain Plebeian elements until YE 34. Though not as strong as the Patrician body, many Caelisolans are capable of flight, and a few of the "defective" human traits that plagued many Plebeians have been removed. Caelisolan bodies are very common, and are the ideal "player character" body for Elysians.+**Caelisolans** are a genetically engineered replacement for the Plebeian subspecies.

 **Plebeians** were the social underbelly of Elysian society. Relegated to the lower rungs of the social, political, and military ladder because of impure alien blood, Plebeians are seen by outsiders as downtrodden and neglected, but rarely saw themselves as such. Plebeians, like Patricians, largely saw their servitude as natural - decades, even centuries, of tradition have ensured as much.  **Plebeians** were the social underbelly of Elysian society.

 Over the past thirty-five years, Elysia has fought four wars against the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]], and lost all four of them. These defeats involved retreating from their (supposed) home world, a loss of decades of colonization, and the onset of a painful famine that devastated the Plebeian population for years. Even among Patricians, there are very few individuals alive who were not affected negatively by the wars with Yamatai. Though a recent treaty has cemented the two nations as allies, it should be a rare Elysian who doesn't have some history involved with the conflicts between the two. It is recommended that new characters not have an extensive //military// history, though even those who were civilians - or children - during the wars would still have suffered greatly from the fighting. Over the past thirty-five years, Elysia has fought four wars against the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]], and lost all four of them.

-The recent invasion of the NMX marked the fifth major military defeat for Elysia, and in [[calendar:YE 33]] with the [[system:elysia_novus]] likely to be the next target, many Elysian Senators looked towards the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai]] as a way to protect their home in the aftermath of the devastating losses of the Elysian Celestial Navy, eventually leading to the decision for an alliance. With the remainders of their military now fully integrated into the military of Yamatai, it is a potentially distasteful option, but an option nonetheless.+The recent invasion of the NMX marked the fifth major military defeat for Elysia, and in [[timeline:ye_33]] with the [[system:elysia_novus]] likely to be the next target, many Elysian Senators looked towards the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai]] as a way to protect their home in the aftermath of the devastating losses of the Elysian Celestial Navy, eventually leading to the decision for an alliance.
