Kaelonians

Humanoids who finally asked the Federation for help after generations of failing to ignite their dieing star on their own. They asked for help despite their near-xenophobic heritage. Without some artificial enhancement, their star (Kaelon) would go nova in around 200 years. Kaelonians are distinguished by their crimson forehead stripes.

Technology

Kaelon technology is somewhat primitive with only limited interstellar ability. Kaelon fusion technology is without equal, however, since they have spent over 200 years researching a way to rejuvenate their sun.

Society

Kaelon society is marked by the ceremony of the Resolution, where all who reach the age of 60 commit ritual suicide so that they do not become a burden to others. There are no exceptions under any circumstance and Kaelon has lost many of its best minds to this ritual. This leaves the irony that the most sacred ritual in their society may eventually be the death of it.

Dr. Timicin

Scientist from Kaelon II who formulated a helium fusion enhancement system. When the system's trial failed, Timicin was tempted to cancel his upcoming Resolution, or ritual death, and continue working. He was also briefly planning to marry Lwaxana Troi.
