[thatsabigguh-blog]

I fell in love with women’s sports almost a year ago, (shoutout to Angel) and I love unrivaled! I’m so excited to be able to sit and watch the games in full, I was so busy last weekend but I made sure I had the apps on my phone to watch 😭😭

Women’s Basketball is so exciting, it was quite a journey following the Chicago Sky and Angel Last year, looking forward to Unrivaled and this upcoming WNBA season 🫶🏽🩵💜

(And I’m looking for new mutuals btw!)

Who are the Elysians?

Elysia is one of the multiple planets visited in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It is a gas giant in whose atmosphere floats the mechanical city of SkyTown, which was created by the Chozo about 1500 years before the events of the Metroid series. 50 years later, the Chozo also created the first of the Elysians: sapient robots made to help with the upkeep of SkyTown. 400 years after that, these Chozo left Elysia to live on Tallon IV (the setting of the first Metroid Prime game). Elysia was left in the care of the Elysians.

During Metroid Prime 3, Samus visists Elysia and encounters many robots there as enemies, because they have been corrupted by Phazon. It is never specified which robots are Elysians however, and which are some of the robots created by the Elysians to maintain SkyTown as they entered a deep slumber.

"By the year 600, we of Elysia were low on critical supplies and fuel. We created smaller mechanoids to process fuel from the atmosphere of Elysia, but they proved unable to produce a sufficient supply. Unable to secure the necessary resources to sustain ourselves, we entered a state of hibernation to preserve our remaining stores of energy and parts." -SkyTown Data entry: "Slumber"

This is the case in the English version at least. In the Japanese version, the scans of the robot enemies fought on Elysia does specify what counts as an Elysian and what doesn't. In the English versions, all inhabitants of Elysia are called "Mechanoid" at the start of each scan. For example, with the Tinbot enemy:

"Tinbot Mechanoid: Tinbot" -Tinbot scan

However, the Japanese version has this equivalent:

"ティンボット エリシアン：ティンボット" "Tinbot Elysian: Tinbot" -Japanese Tinbot scan

Elysians and Drones

The enemies described as "エリシアン" (Elysian) in the scans of Metroid Prime 3 are Tinbots, Steambots, Steamlords and Helios (the boss fought inside Elysia's Leviathan), which are pictured below.

Most of the other robots found in SkyTown are Drones (ドローン) created by the Elysians. These include the Repair Drones and Aerial Repair Drones created for maintenance work, Transportation Drones to carry resources, Databots to store the history of Elysia, Elysian Shriekbats, Swarmbots, Steamspiders built to carry out tasks in groups in hard to reach places, and finally "Dragoon" Battle Drones built to defend the city.
