The Elerians are a race of warrior-telepaths. They can be dangerous when on the offensive due to their ability to easily mind-control an entire planet, thus circumventing the ground-combat sequence. This can be avoided if one is playing with a telepathic race themself. It is a pain to take Elerian worlds as ground combat is necessary (their telepathic ability will prevent one from mind-controlling them). Luckily, once ground combat is won, the entire population is immediately assimilated.

The Elerian racial characteristics are as follows:
+20% Ship Attack
+20% Ship Defense
Omniscient
Telepathic
Feudal Government
