Yes, let's find out why the Q fear the El-Aurians

One of the greatest mysteries to surround Star Trek: The Next Generation is the issues that stem between Q and Guinan, two very different people of two very different species, who shouldn't have much in common, but apparently have an idea of who one another is. Guinan is a member of the El-Aurian's a race of "listeners" who seem to understand the universe on a level unlike anyone else.

The Q, or the Q Continuum, is a race of aliens who can bend the fabric of reality to their will, making for all sorts of chaos. The two races have an interwoven history, with Guinan even revealing in Star Trek: Picard that her people can summon Q's, or at least could in one reality.

The interactions between the two beings have made for some fun interactions over the years, as well as some great fan speculation and we agree with ScreenRant when they say we want to see more. We do, but not just between Q and Guinan.

It's alluded to in the Next Generation and later confirmed in Picard that the two races have had some real issues with one another, to the point that a truce had to be developed. Could there have been a war between the two sides? What exactly did the two sides do to one another to develop such a distaste for the other?

The possibilities are endless, especially if it recontextualizes how Q's operate in the known universe. If all they do is bend reality, without actually affecting anything, perhaps the El-Aurians are unaffected by the Q attempting to cause confusion or misdirections. Maybe they were at one point but gave up their ability to counter a Q when the truce was made.

My favorite theory is the one that suggests the El-Aurians are as powerful as the Q, and have taken a different position in the universe, allowing it to go as it will without interfering.

Clearly, this is a mystery that Star Trek should further explore and add depth to, which could make the entire world of Star Trek so much richer.
