The reason for which I asked about ships not belonging to the SA (see the "Lacking any better: Hello!" thread) is because I was very intrigued from the Elysian race since I came upon this site. I first contacted Zakalwe for information and he's been very helpful, especially in updating me to earlier facts (my source of information was the old character creation guide, in which it didn't mention any war between the SA and ECN), he also informed me that I would have problems in making an ECN character for two main reasons:

1 - I'd be the only ECN around
2 - The only other Elysian around is a mass murdering psychopath

However, since he mentioned that all hostilities have ceased (even thought I still wonder if the misblaming on the Elysians for that killer virus was ever cleared) I wondered wether it could be possible to play an Elysian in the Star Army. He said it could be possible but I should have contacted you first.
After the Star Army effectively crushed the Elysian Celestial Navy, most ECN assets and officers were actually absorbed into their former enemies, the Star Army. For example, Uuhai, the Elysian plebeian technician originally on an ECS Frigate, ended up on the YSS Celia.

There are still scattered remnants of the ECN, too, that operate under the banner of Veritas, the Elysian world that the Star Army hasn't taken over.
 
*nods* Also, one of the Celia's escorts is captained by an Elysian. Many former ECN officers found themselves in officer positions aboard Yamataian ships. This can be awkward for everyone involved, of course, as atrocities might have been committed by both sides during the SA-ECN war.
 
This thread reminds me of this image:

The thing about it that's a bit awkward is that the soldier is an Elysian who has the Star Army's service ribbon for participating in Fourth Elysian War. So basically he was against his own people during that time.

Side note: can we also take a moment to recognize the artist for drawing the detailed dress shoes from the wiki?
