Star Trek: The Next Generation : El-Aurians

El-Aurians

How advance are they? And can they defend themselves from Q?

Re: El-Aurians

That is a bit of a mystery,we do know they had ;
-Advanced(trans)Warp-travel during Earth's late 19th early 20th century(Time's Arrow).Since Guinan was on Earth at that time we also know that within the next 200 years she had managed to get back to her home planet,which was very far away in the Delta Quadrant and had witnessed the assimilation of her and several other worlds in the Delta Quadrant by the Borg before she returned back to the Alpha Quadrant and on board Enterprise-B(Generations).
-We know they had advanced technology(they had warp-capability at least many centuries before Earth)although not as advanced as the Borg
-Have very long life-spans
-Are physically stronger than humans since it took both Picard and Kirk to neutralise Soran (Generations).
-Seem to be having some powers although they rarely or hardly seem to use them,Guinan is very aware of changes in the timeline or other dangers (ep Yesterday's Enterprise) and seems to have the ability to sense the Borg(Q Who?).
-They have been known as a race of listeners(according to Guinan).
-They had previous contact with the Q and in certain way she and Q seem to be linked in one form or another.
-May posses some of the same powers as the Q(Guinan's reaction when suggesting fending him of with her hand gesture in Q Who? seems to hint at this. .

Re: El-Aurians

That's very interesting facts. I also think the Q regarded them as one of the most advanved species out there. That's why they were careful not to insult them as humans I supposed.
But regarding the Borg. Why couldn't the El-Aurians defeat the Borg then?

We don't know it never was mentioned or shown and maybe we should ask ourselves can we trust Guinan?,since Q says that she is not who she is pretending to be (in Q Who?)(hence the Q-Guinan link and suspicions she might be a Q as well)so maybe she isn't El-Aurian at all.

Re: El-Aurians

I always thought Guinan was once a Q and then left. Hence when she said some Q are actually respectable, I think she knew several of them at one point.

Re: El-Aurians

When you think of it, they'd have to be respectable since the continuum had enough of our Q's bullchit and banned him that time. They can't be all as Psychopathic as our Q was.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: El-Aurians

He was our psychopath though, and I loved every minute.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

Re: El-Aurians

Yeah our local friendly sociopath

Re: El-Aurians

You know a Star Trek is awesome when even Q won't mess with them.

Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!

Re: El-Aurians

Correction: My last post should have said that you know a Star Trek race is awesome when even Q won't mess with them.

Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!

Re: El-Aurians

I don't think they could have had trans-warp as that would mean the Borg would've had trans-warp when the assimilated them, and would've likely assimilated Earth before Guinan could've been on the Enterprise-B.
