Chapter 1: The Elcor

The elcor are a Citadel species native to the high-gravity world Dekuuna. They are massive creatures, standing on four muscular legs for increased stability. Elcor move slowly, an evolved response to an environment where a fall can be lethal. This has candidly colored their psychology, making them deliberate and conservative. Elcor evolved on Dekuuna, a high-gravity world, making them slow, but incredibly durable. Their large, heavy bodies are incapable of moving quickly, but they possess a rather imposing stature and immense strength, as well as thick, tough skin. They move using all four limbs to support and balance their massive bodies. Given their method of communication, they have highly-attuned olfactory senses.

Elcor 'lips' are multiple vertical slats situated in what is normally the location of the mouth in other races. Despite the peculiar arrangement, these 'lips' are capable of holding on to protruding objects like cigars with no effort. Elcor speech is heard by most species as a flat, ponderous monotone. Among themselves, scent, extremely slight body movements, and subvocalised infrasound convey shades of meaning that make a human smile seem as subtle as a fireworks display. Since their subtlety can lead to misunderstandings with other species, the elcor prefix all their dialog with non-elcor with an emotive statement to clarify their tone.

In 2204, the Elcor and the Asari agreed to a client race status for the former.

Chapter 2: Elcor Society

The Elcor live in largely tribal accommodations, preferring to live in close knit communities as opposed to larger metropolitan communities. However, it is not to be assumed that the Elcor have no cities; the dual capitals of the Elcor are Sereuun and Malvuon are large metropolises in Elcor standards being comparable to say, Manchester and Birmingham in human understanding.

The small communities of Elcor keep in touch via a massive communication array, the Attagar Array powered by the harsh winds of Dekuuna from the wind farms of the Myhasa Grasslands; the city life in Sereuun and Malvuon is not bustling; it is quiet and serene, the large corporations of the Elcor always strive to best work with the interests of the populace. While the serenity is rarely breached, the onset of several days of business in the capitals creates a more renown scenario, one of a bustling metropolis similar to the cities of Humanity or the Turians.

Chapter 3: The Elcor Government

The government of the Elcor is run as a meritocratic Federal Republic, it is essentially a joining of the greater states of the cities of Sereuun and Malvuon with a few smaller states in the more rural areas of Dekuuna. It also operates a meritocratic system; meaning that high achieving Elcor are promoted and others not based on hereditary facts but on the achievements of the individual.

Chapter 4: The Elcor and Diplomacy

The Elcor, notwithstanding their preference for close knit but solitary tribal life are not aversed in any way to the notion of entertaining diplomatic relations with practical any race. The elcor are an associate race to the Citadel, having been discovered by the Asari and moved to join the Citadel races with a helping hand from the Asari. Many Asari maidens and matriarchs choose to live and advise (For matriarchs) the government on Dekuuna; assisting broadly from political jargon to security to domestic affairs (For maidens).

- The Asari, the uplifters of the Elcor with which many Elcor harbour immense gratitude and appreciation for.

Chapter 5: The Elcor and the Military

The Elcor are not inherently a warlike race, this does not count out the Elcor as being totally militarily inept; the Elcor fought a prolonged war against the Reapers holding them back from taking the whole of Dekuuna. The Elcor are so incredibly naturally strong, it allows them to mount assault siege cannons or machine guns on their backs and provide devastating artillery support, something that aided in the prevention of an entire flank collapse during the Battle for Earth, thereby also preventing the hypothetical collapse of the coalition defensive and future offensive to the teleporter to the Citadel.

- Elcor Warriors, with mounted rail cannons forming a defensive position and artillery support on Dekuuna aganst Reaper Forces c.2180.

- Standard issue Kassa Fabrication Elcor Battle Armour with an attached rail cannon.

The Elcor boasted a modest flotilla hitherto to the start of the Reaper War; but after it, it was simply shattered by the decimation of the Reaper forces. Though in terms of the Elcor Navy, the end of the Reaper War was in fact a fortuitous event. Following the collapse of Cerberus, the Elcor made use of intelligence provided by the Alliance on former Cerberus bases, locating several captured Turian frigates alongside Cerberus fighters, gunships and cruisers, with aid from the Turians and the Humans in a lend lease scheme. The Elcor opportunistically captured anything of value, things that had not already been acquired, especially of interest were the vast sums of money that Cerberus had left behind in transferable bonds was substantial and alluring to the Elcor command, so they would use it to their benefit.
