Whoopi Goldberg's Guinan introduced the El-Aurians
On Star Trek: The Next Generation, Whoopi Goldberg's Guinan introduced a new alien species called the El-Aurians. Guinan joined TNG at the start of the show's second season after Whoopi Goldberg reached out to producers requesting a role on the series. Guinan was an enigma upon her introduction, and TNG took its time revealing more about her, only dropping teases and hints about her past.
Who Are The El-Aurians In Star Trek? The El-Aurians Are A Long-Lived Race Of Listeners Close ✕ Remove Ads Since Star Trek: The Next Generation introduced the El-Aurians, the franchise has slowly revealed more about the mysterious species. They were a race of listeners who spread out across the galaxy. Because they appeared indistinguishable from humans, El-Aurians were able to blend in among humans, as Guinan did during Earth's 19th century.
How Long Do El-Aurians Live For? El-Aurians Live For Several Centuries ✕ Remove Ads Star Trek has never expressly stated the average lifespan of the El-Aurians, but they have been known to live for several centuries. In the Star Trek: The Next Generation two-parter,"Time's Arrow," Captain Picard met Guinan on Earth in the late 19th century, making her at least 500 years old by the 24th century.
Introduced in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, Star Trek's most recent El-Aurian, Commander Kassia Nox, is also the youngest. When Lt. Beckett Mariner questions if Nox is "like, 400 years old,"Nox replies that she's in her 30s. This prompts Mariner to respond that "a young El-Aurian is just a regular person." However, this may not be entirely true, as it's unclear whether age affects the El-Aurians' abilities to sense disturbances in the space-time continuum.
